2pac Broke Up with Madonna Because of Racial Perceptions

It’s no secret that 2pac and Madonna dated for a brief period of time. The pop megastar admitted to it a few years ago on Howard Stern after rumors of the two have been swirling for decades.

The relationship has a plot twist thanks to a prison letter he wrote to her.

In the heartfelt message, Tupac tells Madonna race was a big part of why he had to leave her, because of how his fans would perceive him. What she said in an interview also hurt him.

“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. I never meant to hurt you.”

There were never reports of the two sides hating each other afterwards, so it seemed like she understood the implications. He asked her to visit him at the end of the letter so they could talk about what he wrote about, but that visit may have never happened.

If you have six figures lying around, you can bid on the handwritten letter from the late rapper on July 19 for the low price of $100,000. You know, light work.
