Who are the most iconic women in hip-hop history? Tupac Shakur, Selena Quintanilla, Yolanda Saldivar, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Yolanda Alvarez. Who is the most important woman in the hip-hop world? And which of them has the most impressive body of work? The answer will surprise you. Read on to find out more.
Tupac Shakur
During the 1990s, there were many great artists in the music industry, including rapper Tupac Shakur and Queen of Tejano Selena Gomez. The two women have continued their relationship years after Tupac passed away, with both fans debating whether or not the young woman is really Tupac’s daughter. In the 1990s, hip hop was a hugely influential genre, and they were two of the most popular artists of the decade.
Although many people may remember Tupac Shakur’s “precious” relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith, his relationship with Selena Gomez is perhaps more intriguing. The rapper and actress were married in 1994, but they were still deeply in love and had many children. Although they were married, they had several relationships, including with musicians, actresses, and models. This couple has since reunited with children.
Yolanda Saldivar was a close friend of the Black Eyed Peas singer, and also managed one of the celebrity boutique shops. She wanted to help her friend succeed in her career, and contacted her parents to start a fan club for her daughter. The two became close friends and Selena’s fashion line took off in Mexico because of her friendship with Yolanda. The friendship between the two musicians helped the fashion line flourish.
Selena Quintanilla
Fans of Tupac Shakur and Selena Quintala have long been rumored to be dating. The singer was reportedly in love with a fan named Tazia. But it looks like this romance has been quashed. After all, the two were in love before their relationship began. But how did this happen? What did these two lovebirds do together? In the first place, they dated for almost three years before their relationship ended.
Both women were in love with the rapper before they met in the early ’90s. They began dating each other after he served his time in prison. Although they remained friends throughout his life, Selena’s boyfriend grew jealous. They got married in 1994. It lasted for three years before the singer and the actress split. Although the relationship was brief, it was quite interesting.
Yolanda Saldivar was a registered nurse from San Antonio who met the singer at a concert in 1993. The two became friends and worked together at a clothing boutique. In fact, the two met in the fan club and a few years later started a close friendship. This friendship was instrumental in Selena’s fashion line, which took off in Mexico. But the real reason is unknown.
Yolanda Saldivar
On July 18, 1995, the lead singer of the group Black Eyed Peas, whose album Dreaming of You was released, was fatally shot by a fan club president. Her killer, Yolanda Saldivar, claimed that she had accidentally shot Selena, but later was convicted of first-degree murder. Yolanda had approached Selena’s manager/father Abraham in 1991, and he agreed to let her join her fan club.
The woman who shot and killed Selena Quintanilla was a fan of both artists and an important figure in their inner circle. She became an active member of Selena’s fan club and became a close friend of hers. However, her alleged motives remain a mystery, and her murder has left her among the most hated women in Texas.
During her time in prison, Yolanda Saldivar has given several press interviews, and she has maintained her innocence. According to reports, Saldivar met Selena in Corpus Christi, Texas, where she had obtained her business documents. She then allegedly assaulted and raped her, but did not commit the crime in Corpus Christi.
During the trial, the defense presented five witnesses who gave conflicting accounts of the events leading to the murder. They included three hotel employees, Saldivar’s seventh grade teacher, and a police officer who had taken the woman’s confession. In the end, the prosecution said Saldivar was mentally unstable and that she had fabricated the details of the incident. However, the jury did not reach a verdict, but it was the defense’s turn to present their case.
Jada Pinkett Smith
The relationship between Tupac and Jada Pinkett Smith has always been controversial, but their love affair was the first public display of their deep connection. The rapper was active in political activism. In 1996, he attended a Brotherhood Crusade rally in California to protest against the anti-affirmative action law and the three strikes law. Jada’s relationship with Tupac and Selena’s subsequent split led to debate about the violence and racism in America.
When Jada and Will Smith were teenagers, Will Smith met Tupac Shakur’s girlfriend, Kidada, daughter of Quincy Jones. Their relationship began soon after the breakup of their marriage to Keisha Morris. Though Tupac initially ignored Kidada’s advances, he later apologized for dissing Quincy Jones. The two moved in together in California a few months before Tupac died.
Jada was getting out of the life of crime when Tupac was getting into it. Though they spent a memorable time together, they soon went their separate ways. Jada pins much of her success to her faith, and hopes that her faith helped Tupac escape the criminal life. However, it was too late for both of them. Jada still has a deep love for Tupac.
In a recent interview on Red Table Talk, Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith discussed the rap icons’ relationship and how they influenced her. Jada gets teary during her discussion of mother-daughter issues and discusses her adversity as a child. While many people think it’s weird that Jada continues to bring up Tupac, she doesn’t mind it.
Cynthia Bailey
The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast is in for a wild ride this season. While Cynthia Bailey’s relationship with Will Jones has been a controversial one, she’s now in love with the rapper. Rumors have it that she’s planning a lavish bachelorette party. But her rumored fling with a stripper is a hoax, but will it really affect the show’s ratings?
In 2015, Selena was in talks to star in another telenovela. The series was produced by Emilio Larrosa and featured the rapper in two episodes. Meanwhile, her company Selena Etc. opened two stores in Los Angeles, including one in Hollywood. The stores also featured in-house beauty salons. At the time of her star unveiling, there were discussions about opening up more stores in Puerto Rico and Monterrey.
Cynthia Bailey and Tupac were very close friends. They had a lot in common, including a love for the same music. Both were openly gay, but their friendship was so close they never fought, even though they were allegedly jealous of each other. In fact, Tupac’s brother allegedly claimed that his former girlfriend never spoke s**t to him. Their relationship isn’t entirely clear, but the media attention has only exacerbated things.
As a part of her appearance at the BET Awards, Cynthia Bailey wore a black sequined jumpsuit. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum shared a photo of her stunning look on her Instagram page on June 24. She paired the black sequined one-piece with flared pants. The outfit was a revealing look for the night. You can see more of her glamorous style on the Bravo app.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship with Tupac
Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith recently discussed his mother’s relationship with Tupac Shakur. The late rapper was a childhood friend of Jada Pinkett Smith. When he was shot and killed in 1996, he was only 25 years old. Smith’s relationship with Tupac sparked rumors about a romance, but she never confirmed it. Jaden Smith also discussed her relationship with radio personality Big Boy, who jokingly joked about the possibility of her marriage to Tupac Shakur.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s childhood was filled with trauma and violence, so it’s no surprise that she became close to Tupac. Tupac was only starting to get into the life when Jada was selling drugs. Although Tupac was only just getting into “the life,” Jada says her faith kept her out of danger and prayed that he would find a way out of it. The relationship ended tragically with Tupac’s death.
Despite Tupac’s fame, the relationship between Jada Pinkett Smith and the late rap legend was a platonic one. While the two were close, Tupac reportedly never wanted to marry Smith. However, his relationship with Will Smith was far more complicated. Corey Holcomb, who hosts the Corey Holcomb 5150 Show, has made some controversial statements about Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship with Tupac.
