Jada Pinkett Smith Turned Down Role in ‘Dead Presidents’ Because of Tupac’s Beef With the Hughes Bros

Jada Pinkett Smith Turned Down Role in 'Dead Presidents' Because of Tupac's Beef With the Hughes Bros

Larenz Tate famously starred in the 1995 cult classic Dead Presidents, and apparently Jada Pinkett Smith was supposed to star in it but turned down the role because of her loyalty to Tupac Shakur.

“We’re on set in New Orleans talking about that experience. I said, ‘I talked to the Hughes brothers and you were supposed to be in the movie.’ And she says ‘I was.’ She was like, ‘I couldn’t do it because, at the time, I was really close with Tupac and Tupac had this beef with the Hughes brothers,” Tate said during an interview with Hip Hollywood.

The veteran actor continued, “She had a good relationship with Tupac and she didn’t want to get in the middle of it. She thought if she had done that movie, it would’ve been a little weird.” 

The late rapper’s beef with the Hugh Brothers stems from him getting booted from Menace II Society then later getting into a physical altercation with Allen Hughes.

Tupac and Jada Pinkett Smith’s friendship is well-known and even made her now-husband, Will Smith jealous. He admitted that they had tension because they loved the same girl during an interview on The Breakfast Club. “We had a little bit of a thing because they grew up together and they loved each other but they never had a sexual relationship. But they had come into that age where now that was a possibility and then Jada was with me. So Pac had a little thing on that, but she just loved him. He was the image of perfection, but she was with the fresh prince.”

Kris Jenner Breaks Down in Tears During Amari Thompson’s Birthday on The Kardashians

HonkMagazine

In a rare moment of raw vulnerability, Kris Jenner, the famously poised, ever-resilient matriarch of the Kardashian-Jennerlogging empire, appeared completely rattled in a recent episode of The Kardashians. The heartwarming moment occurred during what was supposed to be a celebratory 18th birthday party for Tristan Thompson’s younger brother, Amari. But the day soon took a heartbreaking turn when Amari, who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, suffered a seizure in the middle of the celebration. Organized lovingly by Khloé Kardashian, the soiree started as a peaceful, sun-drenched garden gathering of laughter and immediate family members.

But before you could blink, the mood changed. The mood shifted from celebration to deep concern as Amari’s seizure unfolded. Although his caretakers responded swiftly and kindly, Jenner was shaken by the surprise episode. For someone who has spent more than four decades wardrobe-taming reality television’s emotional highs and lows, family fame, and gossip columnists, Kris Jenner’s breakdown was a stark reminder that even the strongest hearts have their breaking points. The 69-year-old slipped from the tableau, tears streaking her face as she did so while seeking a moment alone in the house. “It was just too much,” you could hear her saying, not as the most famous momager in the universe but as a person being forced into something painful and real.

This moment, captured on Hulu’s The Kardashians, strips away the glamorous facade of the Kardashian kingdom to expose a family that feels heartbreak like everyone else, even with the fame. Jenner’s response had nothing to do with cameras or headlines, it had everything to do with compassion. About the hopelessness that sometimes sets in when someone you love is suffering and, at that moment, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Kris Jenner has always been the glue of her family, so in this scene, she opened up a little and it touched a the quiet strength it takes to let go. Her breakdown was love, compassion, and the weight of seeing someone else’s suffering in real life.

Claressa Shields Delivers Knockout Quote on Womanhood and Self-Worth

HonkMagazine

Claressa Shields is flipping the script, and it’s not a position riddled with petty quarrels or beef. The boxing champ and upcomer used Instagram Live recently to clarify the air around her name and her values. After putting herself through a rumor mill from last year’s Remy Ma and Papoose drama, Shields decided to speak her truth, and she did so with the same bravado as a woman who fights in the ring. “I’ve never beefed with a girl over a boy or a man, it’s never happened to me,” Shields kept it raw and unfiltered as she told her fans. “I’m not one of them.” It’s a statement that hits hard and redirects the dialogue away from rumor and toward growth, maturity, and unapologetic self-worth.

At age 30, Shields is establishing that her priorities have matured far beyond teenage envy and social media beefs. She said: ‘The last time I ever cared about a man going after another woman was when I was 16. “That was a long, long time ago,” she said with a laugh and dismissed the concept she’d ever lower her standards or peace of mind for a man. Shields isn’t interested in competing with other women for male attention she’s interested in building her legacy. “Every man I’ve ever dated has been 100 percent for me,” she continued. It’s not cocky it’s setting boundaries, respecting yourself and choosing emotional stability over drama.

What Shield is serving here is a tutorial on self-awareness. And unlike many public figures who get caught up in online speculation, Shields opts for transparency without messiness. She’s avoiding the soap opera and stepping into her power instead. In an age of viral beef and headline-chasing, Claressa Shields is proving that a tough woman isn’t just a woman that punches hard, she’s a woman who knows better than to throw a punch at all.
