"If there is such a thing as past lives, I definitely think that Pac and I have travelled a few together," she said, before adding, "It just wasn't possible."

Further, calling their bond "friendship-love chemistry", Smith said, "There was no chemistry between us."

"It just wasn't possible; there was no chemistry between us. Let me tell you, don't think that 'Pac and I, like I write in the book, we had those moments, and I wish I could get people to understand the repelling nature. It was almost like God made us that way,'' Jada said.

“Absolutely, we have soulmates, our children can be our soulmates. I think this kind of romanticized idea of like a soulmate – there’s all kinds of definitions of soulmates.”

Further, Pinkett said: “If there is such a thing as past lives, I definitely think Pac and I have travelled a few together, you know, in various forms.”

Tupac and Jada shared a very great bond. However, they were never romantically linked. They had known each other since their high school days and went on to become close friends. However, Jada ended her friendship with the rapper in 1993, when the rapper was accused of sexual assault.

In the year 1996, Shakur was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, USA, when he was just 25 years old. Known as the ‘Greatest Artist' of rapping history, his songs were about the racism and violence faced by black people in America, and he told his racism stories through his rapping.

A year after Tupac's death, Jada married Will Smith in 1997.
