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.”
