I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.
4 Of Tupac Shakur's Most Surprising Friends
Jada Pinkett Smith
The actress and wife of Will Smith first met Shakur when they were both students at the Baltimore School of the Arts in Maryland. "He was one of my best friends," Smith said. "He was like a brother."
Rosie Perez
Over a decade after Madonna revealed that she dated Tupac, Perez had some intriguing news about her role in their affair. The actress revealed that Tupac had taken her to the 1993 Soul Train Awards after her date stood her up, and a chance encounter with Madonna led to the hookup.
Jim Carrey
Tupac, who started out wanting to be an actor, was a big fan of Carrey's. The two became friends, and during Tupac's incarceration, Carrey wrote him humorous letters to lift his spirits.
Biggie Smalls
Despite their well-known reputation as deadly rivals, Tupac and Biggie were friends for a while; in fact Biggie even wanted Tupac to be his manager at one point. Their falling-out came after the famous heist at Quad Recording Studios, in which Tupac was shot, beaten, and robbed. He believed Biggie had known about the hit in advance, which Biggie denied.
Tupac “2Pac” Shakur, who played a key role in the development of hip hop music, sold 75 million records, acted in several movies, and positioned himself as a voice of social and racial justice. He died in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting at age 25. On his June 16 birthday, we remember what this iconic artist meant, and still means, to his millions of fans worldwide.
