Woah! Did Tupac Dump Madonna Because She’s White?
According to a letter he wrote in prison, Tupac dumped Madonna because she was white (to each his own I guess?).
To be clear, no one really knew that Madonna and Tupac dated until she revealed it in 2015, claiming the two had dated a few years before he died in 1995.
“One time I was mad at [David Letterman] when I said the f-word a lot, but the rest of the time was good,” Madonna told Howard Stern. “I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time, and he had got me all riled up about life in general. So, when I went on the show I was feeling very gangsta.”
Tupac’s brother Mopreme Shakur then told Vlad TV he helped to make their romance blossom: “She gave me a note to give to him; I was just happy she was giving him a note. Everybody was there. I went over and gave it to him. He was about the business and then they linked up. I would take him to her house and s–t when we got back to L.A. Yeah…” he recalled. “They were a thing for a minute.”
Now, TMZ has posted a letter Tupac had written in jail (which is going to be auctioned off, most likely for around $100,000) calling Madonna “M,” which says, “I’ve waited a long time 2 finally write this mainly because I was struggling to find all the answers that I wouldn’t leave any unanswered questions. First and foremost, I must apologize to you because like you said I haven’t been the kind of friends I know I am capable of being.”
He later wrote that they broke up because she was white: “Can u understand that? For you to be seen with a black man wouldn’t in any way jeopardize your career. If anything it would make you seem that much more open & exciting,” he wrote. “But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my ‘image’ I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was. I never meant to hurt you.”
Tupac referenced an interview where Madonna supposedly said, “‘I’m off to rehabilitate all the rappers & basketball players,'” or something like that: “Those words cut me deep seeing how I had never known you to be with any rappers besides myself. It was at this moment out of hurt & a natural instinct to strike back and defend my heart & ego that I said a lot of things.”
He continued: “Can you feel me? In the time since, as u can see, I have grown both spiritually and mentally. It no longer matters how I’m perceived,” he said. “Please understand my previous position as that of a young man with limited experience with an extremely famous sex symbol.”
