Jada Pinkett Smith, American actress and talk show host, recently revealed that the late rapper Tupac Shakur proposed to her while he was incarcerated, but she turned down the offer. She explained that Tupac proposed due to his circumstances at the time. 

Pinkett shared that she declined the proposal because she believed she could support him without becoming his wife. Despite considering Tupac her "soulmate," she emphasized that they weren't a good marital match. The actress made these revelations during the latest episode of the Showtime Basketball podcast.

Pinkett said, “2Pac proposed to me while he was in jail. I talk about this in my book when I go to see him in Rikers. When I wrote about that in the book and when I had to speak my words for the audio version of the book. That was probably one of the most painful parts.

“Seeing him there, the condition that he was in, and having to leave him there. He was in bad shape. And so, when he asked me to marry him, he was at Rikers. And I knew at that time that he needed somebody to spend time with him. Which I was going to do anyway. He doesn’t have to marry me to do time with me.”

She added that they would have divorced in no time if they had gotten married.

As previously reported, Pinkett recently revealed in a preview clip from her upcoming NBC News primetime special with Hoda Kotb that she and her spouse, Will Smith, have been residing apart since 2016.

“It was not a divorce on paper but it was a divorce. Since 2016, we have been living apart,” Pinkett said.
