Late hip-hop icon 2Pac pulled the plug on his romance with pop diva Madonna over her color. New reports claim a past prison letter reveals race played a central role in their 90’s split.
In a letter set for auction later this month at $100,000, Pac dishes on the impact their relationship would have on society and his image.
The rapper poured out his heart to the singer in an extremely revealing letter he wrote in jail. Tupac writes, “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.” The legend then confesses, “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.” It’s an amazing letter. Tupac clearly knows he devastated Madonna by the rejection, saying, “I never meant to hurt you.” (TMZ)
Coincidentally, rap star 50 Cent put up a since-deleted Instagram post this week about black men dating white women.
A few days ago, model Amber Rose responded to rapper Kodak Black discussing his preference to avoid dating dark-skinned women.

Last week, the rap rookie delved into his preference in light skinned ladies.
“I conduct myself like I am an average person because I am an average person so I can say what I want when I want to say it. If it was you, you can say I like skinny people, I like fat boys. So I can say I like dark skinned women or I like light skin women. I can say what I want. … I love all my fans. It’s some beautiful Black women out there, it’s just not my preference to deal with a dark skinned woman. I’m already dark. I like light skinned women. … [Anything wrong with dark skin women?] No I have dark skin. But dark skin women are more difficult. I like light skin women. They are more sensitive.” (ESSENCE)
