Jada Pinkett Smith remembers childhood and longtime friend Tupac Shakur as a "revolutionist without a revolution."

According to Us Weekly, nearly two decades after Shakur's untimely death Will Smith's better half also reveals in a far-raging interview with Howard Stern what started their once airtight relationship to begin to splinter.

Pinkett Smith said Shakur's often volatile nature affected their friendship.

After meeting in high school at the Baltimore School of Arts, Pinkett Smith recalled they quickly became best friends, but nothing else.

"You know, it's so funny," she said. "Now being older, I have more of an understanding of what that was between us. When you have two young people that have very strong feelings, but there was no physical chemistry between us at all, and it wasn't even just for me. It was him too."

As strictly a test, Pinkett Smith recalled a time when she more or less ordered Tupac to kiss her, "just to see how this goes." She remembers it being equal parts disgust and horror on both sides.

"The only way I can put it is that the higher power did not want it at all," she said. "If Pac and I had any kind of sexual chemistry, we might have killed each other because we were both so passionate."

Before he was murdered in 1996, Pinkett Smith remembered the two having a "hardcore disagreement" that she said was about the direction he seemed to moving in.

"I told him that, you know, it was a destructive direction," she said. "A very scary direction. And he felt as though I had changed. I'd gone Hollywood. I'd gone soft."

Pinkett reflected she now gets more of the point her friend was trying to make, but added some of it was a mentality even he was trying to shake.

"It wasn't the first time that we had had a bad argument and stopped speaking," she said. "That was a constant in our relationship."
