Jada Pinkett Smith Reveals Her Drug-Dealing Past

Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she was dealing drugs when she met close friend Tupac Shakur for the first time.

The “Girls Trip” actress opened up on SiriusXM’s “Sway in The Morning” about her relationship with the late rapper, saying, “It’s kind of hard because I haven’t really told the whole story. One of the things that’s very interesting that I’ve never really said before is that when I first met Pac, I was a drug dealer.”

“That’s how we started,” she said on Wednesday, “Then as I was coming out, something very bad happened to me. As I was coming out of the life, he was coming more into the life.”

Tupac was gunned down in 1996, the year before Pinkett Smith tied the knot with current husband Will Smith. The nature of Pinkett Smith and Tupac’s relationship has long been a subject of scrutiny.

“Pac and I’s relationship was about survival,” she said. “That’s how it started. I know that most people want to always connect it in this romance thing and that’s just because they don’t have the story. It was based in survival, how we held each other down and when you have somebody that has your back when you feel like you’re nothing, that’s everything. There’s a lot of components to our story that we’ve never shared for a very specific reason. I just decided that this one little piece was important to share finally because it gives more insight to who we were. It was about survival and it’s always been about survival between us.”

Last month, the actress posted on social media that she was upset about the way the new biopic on Tupac, “All Eyez On Me,” portrayed their relationship.

“The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful,” she wrote.
