Jada Pinkett Smith Reacts To The Death Of Afeni Shakur 

BHR Hollywood Reports...........Jada Pinkett Smith shows her appreciation for Afeni Shakur. The actress and childhood friend of Tupac Shakur mourned the rapper’s mother’s death today with a touching post on Facebook.

“Today I woke up to the news that Afeni had passed,” wrote Seni Shamith.

“My first thought was of [Tupac’s sister] Sekyiwa and the entire clan that loved Afeni. Then I remembered that I was in NY to attend a Mother’s Day event named after a song written about Afeni, ‘Dear Mama.’ My heart tightened and then all kinds of memories flooded in.

“I quickly remembered how calm Afeni was especially during any crisis,” Jada continued.

“She always had a way of making me believe all would be well. But my fondest memories of Afeni was spending time with her at Jasmine Guy’s house as Jasmine was writing Afeni’s book. Tupac had passed, and now I was a business woman, wife, and a mother and we could talk real and I mean really real.”

Jada’s relationship with ‘Pac is of course common knowledge, but it makes sense that someone who was so close with him in adolescence would also share a relationship with his mother.

In her heartfelt Facebook post, she offers condolences to Tupac’s sister and Afeni’s surviving daughter Sekyiwa, as well as what she calls her “fondest memories” of Afeni. Eventually she ends the note with “give Pac a hug and kiss from me.”
