In recent news, Rick Ross has voiced his concern, urging Jada Pinkett-Smith to refrain from mentioning Tupac in her discussions. This comes after the actress made startling revelations in her memoir, “Worthy,” shedding light on her friendship with the late West Coast rapper.
Smith, known for her openness about living with alopecia, disclosed that Tupac also struggled with the hair-loss condition. This revelation stirred significant reactions online, with some feeling she might be sharing too much, including Ross.
The Miami native expressed his frustration with the actress during an appearance on BET’s web series, “BET Talks.” The 47-year-old rapper emphasized the need for Jada to set a better example, stating, “What Jada is doing won’t affect my decision to ever get married, but she has to be a better and greater example than that.” Ross urged Jada to let Tupac rest in peace, emphasizing, “We didn’t need to know that; he’s a legend. He’s been gone for 30 years,” playfully mispronouncing the condition as “apple esha.”
Ross suggested that instead of revisiting old stories about the late Death Row signee, Jada should share more genuine tales. He humorously remarked, “Talk about your husband, baby. You married him.”
In a light-hearted tone, the rapper added, “Tell us about that one time you walked down a carpet, and we didn’t know you weren’t wearing any panties or something,” reiterating, “Pac is gone. He had apple esha… Shout out to everyone dealing with apple-esha.”
This recent exchange highlights the ongoing discussion surrounding celebrity disclosures and the line between personal revelation and maintaining a level of privacy. Rick Ross, known for his candid nature, advocates for a more thoughtful approach to storytelling, especially when it comes to venerable figures like Tupac. The controversy surrounding Jada Pinkett-Smith’s revelations sparks a broader conversation about the boundaries of public discourse in the age of celebrity memoirs.
