Will Smith admitted that he was jealous of the relationship between Jada Pinkett Smith and Tupac Shakur in a new interview with “The Breakfast Club.”
“F— yeah,” Smith responded when radio host Charlamagne Tha God asked the actor if he was ever jealous of “the love Jada had for Tupac.”
“And that was in the early days,” Smith said. “That was a big regret for me. They grew up together but they never had a sexual relationship now they had come into that age where that was a possibility, and Jada was with me.”
Pinkett Smith and Shakur attended The Baltimore School of Arts together during the eighties and maintained a platonic friendship when Pinkett Smith met Smith on the set of “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” in 1994.
Smith said: “I couldn’t speak to him, and he wasn’t going to speak to me if I wasn’t going to speak to him. He was the image of perfection, but she was with the Fresh Prince.
“I was deeply insecure and I wasn’t man enough to handle that relationship.”
