“Jada, all you’re doing is elevating the level of vitriol coming your way. Because it don’t matter what you say,” he said. “There’s nothing you can say to a man to justify what you have done to Will Smith. Every time I see Jada Pinkett Smith talk about Will Smith, I cringe. We kings. We ain’t here like to be treated like that.”
Smith’s comments come after Jada made a number of revelations about her relationship with Will in her upcoming memoir.

Jada Pinkett Smith Reveals She Was Asked to Marry Tupac Shakur
In addition to her revelations about her relationship with Will, Jada Pinkett Smith also revealed in her memoir that she was asked to marry Tupac Shakur while he was serving time in prison in 1995.
“When I wrote about that in the book and when I had to talk about it, speak my words for the Audible version of the book, that was probably one of the more painful parts,” she said in a recent interview with All The Smoke.

“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 get married, he was at Rikers [Island].
“I knew at that time that he needed somebody to do time with him, which I was gonna do anyway. He didn’t have to marry me to do that. I’m here. He needed a rock. Because of our friendship and everything we had been through together, he just wanted to feel that solidified foundation.”

She continued: “I promise you, he would’ve married me and divorced me as soon as his ass got out [of prison]. He would’ve! […] I just think it was the mind state that he was in. He wrote me this long letter, and even before ‘Pac went to jail, he was starting to shift in a certain manner. [In a] good [way], really good.
“And I think that for him, he just felt like, ‘Okay, if I can tether myself, it’ll keep me on a trajectory.’ But trust me, he would’ve divorced me as soon as he — one thing he wouldn’t want me as is a wife. emoji I know that for a fact! But I think just being at Rikers, it just kinda shook him a little.”
Jada’s revelation about Tupac’s marriage proposal is sure to shock fans of both artists. It’s also a reminder of the close bond that they shared.
