Recently, Rosie Perez appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show, revealing how she connected Madonna and 2Pac together. According to reports, Perez revealed that just 30 minutes before she was set to leave for the 1993 Soul Train Music Awards, her date canceled, and 2Pac stepped in at the last minute to accompany her. The actress told Barrymore, “So I was going to the Soul Train Music Awards and my date calls me up a half an hour before I’m getting in the car.” ” [He said], ‘I can’t go with you because my girlfriend will see me.”
Shortly after the call, expecting a follow-up from her no-show date, she was stunned to hear 2Pac on the other end, prompting her to share the story of what had just unfolded. She stated, “He said, ‘You know what, I’m gonna go with you, we’re gonna walk up in there, we’re gonna act like we’re on a date, and he’s going to die.’” While attending the Soul Train Awards, Madonna confronted Perez, asking if she and Pac were a couple. Perez voiced, “She came up to me and she was like, ‘Yo, what’s up? Y’all are together?’” “I said, ‘No,’ she goes, ‘Really?’ I go, ‘Yeah,’ she goes, ‘Hook me up.’ I said, ‘You got it.’”
Madonna on Tupac: A Hidden Romance Revealed
Though long rumored, Madonna only confirmed her brief romance with Tupac in a 2015 Howard Stern interview, revealing they dated quietly in the mid-’90s. The pop icon stated, “One time I was mad at [David Letterman] when I said the f-word a lot, but the rest of the time was good.” “I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur then, and he had got me all riled up about life in general. So, when I went to the show, I was feeling very gangsta.”
In 2017, a letter from 2Pac to Madonna surfaced, confirming that the two had been romantically involved. Within its lines, he expressed regret for ending their relationship, hinting that his decision was influenced by concerns over public perception of him dating a white woman.
