Tupac Shakur was one of the most influential and iconic rappers of all time. His career was cut short when he was tragically killed in 1996, but before his death, he had a few romantic relationships. One of the most notable of these was with singer Kidada Jones.
Jones and Shakur first met in 1995, when she was working as a model and actress. They were introduced by her father, Quincy Jones, and they immediately hit it off. The two began dating shortly after and moved in together in 1996. They were together for four months before Shakur’s death.
Jones was with Shakur when he was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. She was in the hotel room with him when he was shot and she was at the hospital with him when he ultimately died from his injuries six days later. Jones was deeply affected by Shakur’s death and was quoted as saying, “It was like a part of me died with him.”
In the years since Shakur’s death, Jones has opened up about their relationship. She has said that Shakur was a “gentle soul” and that he was “so loving and kind.” She has also said that she felt a deep connection with him and that she still misses him to this day.
Jones has also spoken about the impact that Shakur had on her life. She has said that he taught her to be more open and to express her feelings more freely. She has also said that he helped her to become more confident in herself and to believe in her own abilities.
Jones has also talked about the impact that Shakur had on the world. She has said that he was a “true revolutionary” and that he was “ahead of his time.” She has also said that his music was “powerful and inspiring” and that it still resonates with people today.
Jones and Shakur’s relationship was brief, but it was clearly a meaningful one. Jones was with Shakur when he was shot and she was with him when he died. She has spoken fondly of him in the years since his death and she has said that he had a profound impact on her life. Shakur may be gone, but his legacy lives on through the people he touched and the music he left behind.
