Pinkett Smith wrote on Instagram that they did a “terrible job” on “Parents Just Don’t Understand” by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince aka Smith. But even as students at the Baltimore School for the Arts in the 1980s, she and Tupac seemed destined to become artists.
Pinkett Smith and the rapper Shakur, who died in 1996, remained friends after their school days and even worked together on a project Episode from 1993 from “A Different World” and in some of his music videos, Weekly entertainment reported.
Pinkett Smith offered a poignant perspective on this lip-syncing moment with Tupac in another Instagram post.
“Never in a million years would I have dreamed that the prince and I would know each other, um, very well,” she began in what appeared to be an excerpt from an audiobook upcoming memoir “Worthy.”
Never in a million years could I have imagined that three lives and their fates would be so intertwined.
And…I never imagined that this video would become a tangible reminder of the last time Pac and I were just kids together.

Pinkett Smith said in a recent interview with people that she addresses “everything” in the book, which would presumably include her husband Chris Rock being slapped at the Oscars after making a joke about Pinkett Smith’s hair loss.
“Worthy” will be released on October 17th.
