*Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about her relationship with the late Tupac Shakur during her Red Table Talk with Whitney Houston’s alleged ex-lover Robyn Crawford.
The actress welcomed Crawford on her Facebook Watch show to talk about her book, A Song For You: My Life with Whitney Houston. Smith noted the parallels between Crawford’s tumultuous relationship with the music legend compared to her own with the hip-hop icon.
“It was so healing for me in so many different ways,” Pinkett Smith said of reading Crawford’s book. “It’s hard to live with someone who has had a legacy at the level she has had and then to lose them under tragic circumstances. I have a very similar situation.”

While Whitney and Robyn were allegedly intimate with each other, that wasn’t the case for Jada and the late rapper. Even so, as Crawford spoke about Houston’s possessiveness after they stopped being romantic with each other, Smith could relate.
Recalling how Whitney allegedly confronted her about sleeping with one of her backup dancers, Crawford said the singer tore up an inscription she had written in a Bible she gave Robyn. “She was angrily upset,” she said, “She just grabbed it and ripped out the back page and she started tearing it up, ripping it into little pieces.”
“That I understood, because of the complex relationship I’ve had with Pac in those moments of his, ‘Who’s that?!,’ knowing damn well there ain’t nothing like that between us,” Jada said. “Him feeling like, ‘You’re the only stability I got, I can’t afford for you to put that attention elsewhere.’ For him, it was, we were an anchor for each other. Anytime he felt like that anchor was threatened, oh my God.”
When Robyn said it wasn’t jealously, but Whitney being “possessive and protective,” Jada agreed. “It’s a lot of things I didn’t understand while I was in in with Pac,” said Smith.
The episode ended with Jada asking what Robyn would say to Whitney now, if she alive.
“I would wanna say, you know Nip, you know I love you,” said Robyn. “And I got you. I will represent. I love that girl like yesterday and she’s with me all the time.”
