RAP superstar Tupac Shakur broke off his 18 month-long fling with Madonna because she was white, it’s been revealed.
In a startling prison letter the tragic rapper told the Queen of Pop their relationship was becoming bad for his gangsta-lifestyle image.
Tupac wrote “For you to be seen with a black man wouldn’t in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting.
“But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my ‘image’ I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was.”
The full letter dated January 15, 1995 – said to contain more revelations – is being sold at auction in the US later this month and is expected to fetch a fortune.
The pair first met in March 1993 at the Soul Train Music Awards in Los Angeles after being introduced by actress Rosie Perez.
By the end of March 1994, the pair’s romantic relationship was going strong reports TMZ
The music star even credited a foul-mouthed appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman in 1994 to being in a gangsta mindset because of her romantic involvement with the Thug Life rapper.
“I was mad at [David Letterman] when I said the F-word a lot,” she told Stern.
“I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time and the thing is, he got me all riled up about life in general.” Tupac was in jail after being found guilty of sexually abusing a fan. The SUN, UK
