He left this world on September 13, 1996. But even several years after his death, Tupac Shakur, or 2Pac, is still talked about. Because his murder has still not really been elucidated, but also because it leads to inferiority complexes even when no longer part of this world. In any case, this is what Will Smith suggests in his memoirs entitled Will.
The actor, who has been making headlines for a few hours because of his slap in the face to Chris Rock during the last Oscar ceremony, has always defended his wife. Even after rapper August Alsina claimed to have had an adulterous relationship with his girlfriend Jada Pinkett. This is why, when the host of the last ceremony rewarding the actors for their work over the past twelve months allowed himself to make a joke in bad taste about his wife who suffers from alopecia, Will Smith did not hesitate to rise from his chair to punch him and shock the whole world.
A heavy complex
But if you shouldn’t touch your wife, it’s also for another reason. A reason that the actor mentions in his memoirs and caused by his inferiority complex caused by 2Pac. “Although they were never intimate, their love for each other is legendary. They defined the phrase ‘ride or die.’ At the start of our relationship, my mind was tortured by their connection. He was ‘PAC!’, and I was me”he writes, referring to the close friendship between Jada Pinkett and the late artist, who had formed a very close friendship while attending the Baltimore School for the Arts.
“He triggered this perception in me, I saw myself as a coward. I hated this feeling, the fact that he was there, and I suffered from this unhealthy jealousy. I wanted Jada to look at me as she looked at him”continues Will Smith who, despite everything, made up his mind over the years: “SIf she chose me over Tupac, I couldn’t be a coward. […] I’ve been in the same room as Tupac on multiple occasions, but I’ve never spoken to him. The way Jada loved Pac made me unable to be friends with him. I was too immature.
