Jada Pinkett-Smith and her husband, Oscar winner Will Smith, have been a topic of conversation on social media over the past week after Pinkett-Smith shared some new details on the state of the couple’s marriage.
During her promotional run for her new memoir ‘Worthy’ last week, Pinkett-Smith shared some fascinating (and controversial) details about their marriage.
The major bombshell was her explanation that her and Smith have been separated for years.
She also added fuel to the fire of rumours that her continued humiliating public statements on Smith were due to her being in love with the late rapper Tupac Shakur when she shared a some details about her relationship with Shakur, whom she claims proposed to her when she visited him in prison back in 1995.
All this has inspired some rather hilarious memes. Here are five of our favourites:
@iamfayemissss Replying to @Therealdon93 MS.JADA, we is tireddddd of how you been doing UNCLE WILL on these platforms!!! No more interviews please!! We stand with the fresh prince 😭😭😭 #jadapinkettsmith #willsmith #tupac #fayemissrapnews #fayemisstopicraps #fyp #viral #tiktoktrend ♬ original sound - Iamfayemiss
This freestyle by TikTok user @iamfayemiss on the beat for the theme song for ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’, the classic sitcom that put Will Smith on the map, has the perfect dose of comic timing and punchlines.
This meme plays on both Pinkett-Smith’s apparent lingering feelings for Shakur and her contempt for Smith. “I never liked any of Will's movies. I would tell him to put on ‘Juice’ before we made love. The sound of Tupac's voice helped set the mood.”
