A TikTok influencer says Jada Pinkett Smith’s claim that Tupac Shakur proposed to her while he was an inmate at Rikers Island is a lie.
TikTok user Jess in Miami (@jesstheprequeldoesmiami) said, “Jada’s lying, and I have the timeline to prove it.”
In her new memoir, Worthy, Jada claims Tupac proposed to her when he was locked up at Rikers Island for about a month.
In March 1995, Tupac was convicted of raping fan Ayanna Jackson. He was sentenced to serve 1.5 to 4.5 years in prison and transferred to Clinton Correctional Facility.
In a Tiktok video, Jess breaks down the timeline that shows Tupac proposed to his fiancée, Keisha Morris, before he went to prison.
“Tupac already had a girlfriend named Keisha,” Jess said. “He proposed to Keisha — her words in a September 2011 interview — he proposed to Keisha before he even went into prison, they were already engaged. They got married in April.”
When Tupac was transferred to Clinton prison in upstate New York, Morris moved nearby so she could visit the rapper “on a near daily basis.”
“So you’re telling me that in the two to four week window that he was at Rikers, engaged to another woman, who had moved closer to the prison and was there almost every day, Tupac proposed to Jada?” Jess said.
However, months before Jada penned her memoir, her son, Jaden, recalled his mom telling him that Tupac proposed to her.
