Jada Pinkett Smith, the Emmy-winning actress and renowned talk show host, has shared her thoughts following the recent arrest of a suspect in connection with the murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur. Using her social media platform on Friday, September 29, Pinkett Smith addressed the news of Las Vegas police apprehending Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a key figure linked to the drive-by shooting that claimed the life of the legendary rapper on September 13, 1996.
Expressing her sentiments on Instagram Stories, Pinkett Smith wrote, “Now I hope we can get some answers and have some closure. R.I.P. Pac,” accompanied by a dove emoji. The arrest of Davis, aged 60, unfolded in connection with the high-profile murder that has been the subject of extensive scrutiny through documentary films, investigative TV series, books, and various theories attempting to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of the then-25-year-old MC.
Having shared a close relationship with Tupac during his lifetime, Pinkett Smith has often shared memories and anecdotes about their friendship with the public. In 2017, she revealed details about her life, including being a drug dealer when she first encountered the rapper. In 2021, she also disclosed an unpublished poem from Tupac’s collection titled “Dear Mama.”
While Tupac was alive, Pinkett Smith featured in his music videos for “Keep Ya Head Up” and “Temptations,” and notably contributed $100,000 for his bail after he faced charges related to sexual abuse. Despite the intensity of their friendship, the two stars never officially dated, with their exceptionally close bond becoming a topic of public discussion, especially in light of Pinkett Smith’s previous revelations and her well-known “entanglement” controversies with Will Smith.
Adding to the recent events, Pinkett Smith shared a heartwarming throwback video earlier this month. The footage depicted her and Tupac lip-syncing to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s 1988 hit single “Parents Just Don’t Understand.” In her Instagram post, she reflected on the unexpected intertwining of their lives and the significance of the video as a tangible memory from their high school days.
The caption accompanying the throwback video is speculated to be an excerpt from Pinkett Smith’s upcoming memoir, “Worthy,” scheduled for release on October 17.
