Beneath The Shade Room‘s upload about Jada Pinkett Smith’s video, the Roomies sounded off with their reactions. Many people weren’t feeling Jada’s post, especially considering how Will honored her in an upload just a couple of days earlier.
A user going by @mykemyke__ remarked, “Posting videos of ya Ex on ya husband song is crazy.”
As for @theacemua, she declared that Jada Pinkett Smith was “still in love with Tupac.”
Bringing up a letter that Willow Smith wrote Tupac, @itsfrankietho commented, “I will never forget when your kids wrote letter to Pac. You are wild as hell. lol”
Despite some of these sentiments, @goodworkcharlie pointed out, “Think this puts a couple points on the board for Will. Them dancing to his song while he getting Grammys off it definitely the W.”
The conversation carried over to X, formerly known as Twitter. Check out some of the tweets down below.

Idk, if I lost a good friend in such a violent, public and tragic way, you'd hear me singing their praises all the time.
I'm truly baffled that folks really be mad at Jada for still showing love to Tupac smh

I will never understand how you people make it seem like her relationship with Pac emasculates Will. That man is dead as hell, what’s he going to do? Move his tomb and come take Jada on a date? https://t.co/JvwplwdUxe

I won’t lie. Jada Pickett out of line lmao. Her husband posted about spending 28 birthdays with her and she posted a video of her and Tupac. Who died. In 1996. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
