Rick Ross Wants Jada Pinkett-Smith to Let Tupac Rest In Peace

The rapper also wants to know why the actress had to bring up Tupac's ‘apple esha.’

Rick Ross wants Jada Pinkett-Smith to leave 2Pac’s name out of her mouth.

The Hollywood actress recently released her memoir, Worthy, where she made several bombshell revelations, including details about her friendship with the late West Coast rapper and emcee.

Smith, who has been public about living with alopecia, said that Tupac suffered from the hair-losing condition as well, which garnered tons of reactions from folks online who felt she might be divulging too much, including Ross.

The Miami native aired out his frustration with the “Set It Off” star during a recent appearance on the latest installment of BET.com’s web series, “BET Talks.”

What Jada doing won’t affect the decision of me ever getting married, but what I’m saying is damn baby, you got to be a better and a greater example than that,”  the 47-year-old said. The “Hustlin’” rapper urged the actress, “Come on, Jada, let Tupac rest in peace.”

He added, “We ain’t need to know that; dawg a legend. He [has] been dead for 30 years,” before mispronouncing the condition and calling it “apple esha.”

Ross noted that instead of telling old stories about the former Death Row signee, “She should’ve told us a real story. Talk about your husband, baby. You married him.”

The rapper joked, “Tell us how you feel walking down a carpet one time we ain’t know you ain’t have on no panties or something,” before reiterating, “Pac gone. He got apple esha… One time for everyone with apple-esha.”
