Were Jada Pinkett and Tupac An Item?

Before Will Smith came along and swept her off her itty-bitty feet, a young Tupac was Jada Pinkett's closest friend. They were ace boon coons since high school and then their careers blossomed. Neither of them expected their lives to be as famous as they are today. Tupac's death has left many questions unanswered and one of them was the type of relationship Jada and Tupac shared. Were they an item or what?

In a recent interview with WJLB Morning Show with Coco, Foolish & Mr. Chase, Jada finally answers the question:
“Pac and I were never in a romance but I feel as though we had those feelings. It was more of a 'platonic romance' between each other. We knew us being together in a romantic way would destroy everything because we were both fire. We would burn everything up! So we knew in order to preserve our relationship there was no way we could ever add romance to it cause we probably would’ve killed each other!”
