Jada Pinkett Smith slams Tupac Shakur's biopic
New Delhi [India], June 17 (ANI): It seems like Jada Pinkett Smith is not a fan of the new film about her close friend, the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Taking her disappointment to Twitter, the 45-year-old actress wrote that the new biopic 'All Eyes on Me' is "deeply hurtful". In a series of tweets, she wrote, "Forgive me... my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth. Pac never read me that poem. I didn't know that poem existed until it was printed in his book." <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Forgive me... my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth.</p>&mdash; Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) <a href="https://twitter.com/jadapsmith/status/875747603601686528">June 16, 2017</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Pac never read me that poem.
