That Will Smith has been embarrassed on numerous times this past year, is in no doubt. His shame has all sprung up from the things that his wife says about their relationship.
Jada Pinkett-Smith has been a PR nightmare for Will, making one embarrassing disclosure after another about their intimate lives and it seems like she gets a kick out of it.
But I digress. In his recent memoir, the Hollywood actor decided to open up on his intense jealousy for the late rapper Tupac Shakur.
Tupac was close to Jada after they met at the Baltimore School for the Arts in the 1980s, causing Will Smith to feel threatened by their past.
“Though they were never intimate, their love for each other is legendary – they defined ‘ride or die.’ In the beginning of our relationship, my mind was tortured by their connection. He was PAC! and I was me.”
Will adds in the memoir that Tupac had a, “Fearless passion that was intoxicating, a militant morality, and a willingness to fight and die for what he believed was right. Pac was like Harry [Smith’s younger brother] – he triggered the perception of myself as a coward. I hated that I wasn’t what he was in the world, and I suffered raging jealousy: I wanted Jada to look at me like that.”
He noted that he had some sort of triumph when he got to spend more time with Jada than Tua=pac did.
“If she chose me over Tupac, there was no way I could be a coward. I have rarely felt more validated… I was in a room with Tupac on multiple occasions, but I never spoke to him. The way Jada loved Pac rendered me incapable of being friends with him. I was too immature.”
