Jada Pinkett Smith is not happy with the new Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez On Me.
The actress – who is played by Kat Graham in the film – took to Twitter to slam the movie and its portrayal of her friendship with the rapper.
“Forgive me… my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth,” she tweeted.

Jada then explained a series of inaccuracies in the movie, pointing out that him reading her a poem, saying goodbye to her before he left for LA and getting into an argument with her backstage at one of his shows were all made up.
“The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful,” the wife of Will Smith wrote, before insisting she doesn’t blame Kat or Demetrius Shipp Jr, who played Tupac.
“To @KatGraham and @Dshippjr this is no fault of yours. Thank you for bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles,” Jada tweeted. “You both did a beautiful job with what you were given. Thank you both.”

Pac never said goodbye to me before leaving for LA. He had to leave abruptly and it wasn't to pursue his career.

Friday would have been Tupac’s 46th birthday and Jada signed off with a message to the late star, writing, “Happy birthday Pac, you are cradled in my heart for eternity. I love you.”
Jada and Tupac met as students in the 1980s and quickly became extremely close friends, although their relationship never turned romantic.
The Magic Mike XL star also revealed to Howard Stern in 2015 that they’d had a “hardcore” argument and weren’t speaking at the time of Tupac’s murder in 1996.
“It definitely taught me a lesson, which is life is too short,” she shared. “Do not let disagreements stand in between you and people that you love.”
