Madonna may have visited ex-lover Tupac in Rikers Island prison after he asked for face-to face meet after he dumped her, court docs reveal
It's been reported the music legend could have met up with the bad boy rapper after he wrote her a letter explaining the reason why he ditched her
POP queen Madonna may have secretly visited former lover Tupac Shakur while he was banged up in prison for sexual assault, it's been claimed.
It's reported the music legend may have met up with the bad boy rapper after he wrote her a letter explaining the reason why he ditched her.
The letter was dated January 15, 1995 when Tupac was locked away for charges following a high-profile sexual assault case.
He wrote he had ended their romance because he feared dating a white woman would jeopardise his blossoming gangsta rap career.
The rapper then pleaded with the then 37-year-old to meet up with him so he could talk face-to-face.
After receiving the letter, it's thought Madonna may have left her New York apartment to visit the jailbird, who was serving time on nearby Rikers Island, according to court
The revelation comes after Madonna, 59, halted a controversial auction of the letter and other personal items - including her "worn panties".
Madonna acknowledged that she read and received the letter, according to New York court documents.
However, she skirted around the question of whether or not she visited the rapper while he was in prison, stating: "I'm not answering that question."
When pressed why, she responded: "It's not relevant to this letter."
In the hand-written note, the tragic rapper told Madge their relationship was bad for his image.
Tupac wrote: "For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardise your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting.
"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."
Tupac clearly thinks he is going to devastate Madonna with his rejection, saying, "I never meant to hurt you."
The letter was due to be sold at auction but Madonna took legal action to stop the sale.
The pair first met in March 1993 at the Soul Train Music Awards in Los Angeles after being introduced by actress Rosie Perez.
By the end of March 1994, the pair's romantic relationship was going strong.
The music star even credited a foul-mouthed appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman in 1994 to being in a gangsta mindset because of her romantic involvement with the Thug Life rapper.
"I was mad at [David Letterman] when I said the F-word a lot," she told Stern.
"I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time and the thing is, he got me all riled up about life in general."
Tupac was in jail after being found guilty of sexually abusing a fan.
At his sentencing he said: "I've been shot five times and He's brought me this far.
"I put my faith in God. Once again, I have no shame. What happens, happens for a reason. I leave this in the hands of God."
He was killed one year after being released from prison, in a drive-by shooting in September 1996.
