In a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Desiree Smith, now Tupac’s ex-girlfriend, discussed her thoughts on Faith Evans’s current allegations in her memoir, which she had previously discussed.

Faith Evans’ Claims: Fact or Fiction?

In her memoir, Faith Evans claimed that Tupac required her to perform inappropriate actions to receive payment for her contribution to the song “Wonder Why They Call U B****.”

Desiree Smith on Tupac’s Character

Desiree Smith defended Tupac, stating that he was not susceptible to pressure or forcing others into compromising situations.

“He didn’t need to lie or demand anything,” Smith asserted that women willingly pursued Tupac because of his charisma and fame. She pointed out that no other allegations have been made against Tupac by anyone else, unlike other cases in the industry where there are patterns of misconduct.

Smith emphasized Tupac’s authenticity: “He wasn’t a kiss-and-tell type of guy. He respected women, and his relationships were never about manipulation.”

She emphasized that Tupac’s reputation was built on integrity, making the accusations seem unsubstantiated.

Faith Evans’ Motivation: Saving Face or Protecting Her Legacy?

According to Smith, Evans may have fabricated the story to safeguard her image and family legacy. Faith and Biggie Smalls, Tupac’s infamous rival, have a child together. According to Smith, Evans could have been trying to keep her son’s perception of her from tarnishing.

“If I were in her shoes, I’d want to protect my child from any embarrassment, especially when it involves his father’s rival,” Smith said.

As she explained, Evans’s motivation for telling this story was likely to save face and avoid being perceived as disloyal to Biggie’s memory.

What If Tupac and Biggie Were Alive Today?

Smith suggested Faith Evans would unlikely admit the truth if Tupac and Biggie were still alive when asked.

“She still would have had Biggie’s child to think about. Whether alive or not, her decisions would revolve around protecting her image for her family,” Smith stated.

A Legacy of Speculation

Tupac, Biggie, and Faith Evans’ relationship dynamics have been debated for decades. According to Desiree Smith, Evans acted out of spite when she connected with Tupac, but she did not want the media to learn about their relationship.

“She was being sneaky and didn’t expect it to become public,” Smith revealed.

She added that Evans probably carried on with this story to avoid being labeled disloyal to Biggie’s memory.

Smith is confident that Tupac’s character remains unchanged despite the ongoing controversy.

Final Thoughts on the Allegations

Tupac’s legacy as an artist and individual is still powerful and influential, even as the debate continues. Desiree Smith’s defense of Tupac depicts a man who valued honesty and respect, qualities still being portrayed by his fans today. Faith Evans’ claims, regardless of their validity, add another level of complexity to the ongoing story of Tupac’s life and relationships. The truth is still up in the air, but the conversation about these iconic figures will keep audiences captivated for years.
