Jada Pinkett Smith is best known for her roles in the entertainment business, but that's not how the now-actress became involved with rapper Tupac Shakur.

According to the New York Post's Page Six, Jada tells, "Sway in the Morning" that most people don't know the full story because they met when she was a drug dealer.

She tells the SiriusXM show, "that's how we started... Then as I was coming out, something very bad happened to me. As I was coming out of the life, he was coming more into the life."

Jada elaborates a little further to the radio show, saying "I know that most people want to always connect it to this romance thing and that's just because they don't have the story. It was based in survival..."

Page Six reports that Jada could count on 2 Pac to be on her side in the face of adversity, and she says, "it was about survival and it's always been about survival between us."

Unfortunately, everyone knows that only panned out for one of them.
