Funk Flex, the outspoken Hot 97 DJ, didn’t mince his words when it came to Jada Pinkett-Smith’s recent reaction to the apprehension of Duane “Keefe D” Davis as a suspect in 2Pac’s 1996 murder.
In response to Jada’s Instagram post expressing hope for answers and closure, Flex took to his own Instagram Story, criticizing her focus on the past. He urged her to turn her attention to Will Smith, who is very much alive and present in their lives.
This public discourse could stem from the revelations in Will Smith’s 2021 memoir, where he candidly shared the complexities of his feelings regarding Jada’s connection with 2Pac. He openly grappled with feelings of jealousy and inadequacy, a vulnerability that struck a chord with many readers.
Despite the scrutiny, Jada has remained steadfast in her admiration for the late rap icon. She recently shared a nostalgic video of her and 2Pac, playfully lip-syncing to a classic track. This poignant moment, captured in her new book, speaks to the deep connection they shared during their formative years.
Jada’s friendship with 2Pac dates back to their time at Maryland’s Baltimore School for the Arts, long before the fame and notoriety. Their bond, beautifully portrayed in 2Pac’s biopic “All Eyez On Me,” was rooted in genuine friendship and mutual respect.
Yet, Jada’s fond reminiscences of 2Pac have not been without criticism. Some have expressed concern over the spotlight on this particular aspect of her past, especially given her high-profile marriage to Will Smith. Commentators have pointed out that the recurrent focus on 2Pac may overshadow her present relationship with Will and their role as parents.
The public’s scrutiny of Jada’s sentiments continues, with some questioning the boundaries of nostalgia and the impact it might have on her current relationship. The debate rages on, highlighting the complexities of love, memory, and the public eye.
As of now, Jada Pinkett-Smith has not addressed Funk Flex’s pointed remarks. The conversation surrounding her enduring connection to 2Pac remains a topic of interest and discussion.
