Wednesday (June 16) marks 50 years since the legendary 2Pac was born. To celebrate the occasion, Jada Pinkett Smith took to Instagram to share a never-before-seen poem that was handwritten by the late rapper.
“Tupac Amaru Shakur would have been 50 midnight tonight!” she wrote in the caption. “As we prepare to celebrate his legacy … let’s remember him for that which we loved most … his way with words. Here are a few you may have never heard before. Happy ‘you goin’n to be 50 at midnight’ Birthday Pac! I got next. P.s I was planning to post tomorrow which is why the video says today is Pac’s bday. But I decided to start earlyyyyy.”
Before reading out “Lost Soulz,” Jada Pinkett Smith gave some background behind the poem and admitted she thought 2Pac would be okay with her sharing his words with the world.
