Madonna Confirms She Dated Tupac When He Was Alive

Madonna has confirmed she dated Tupac Shakur after two decades of speculation. The 56-year-old talked about the brief relationship while on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show.

The pop icon offhandedly remarked about the state of mind she was in during a David Letterman appearance back in the 1990s when she revealed her relationship with Tupac. Stern asked her if she liked Letterman because back in the 90s all of her interviews appeared hostile.

Madonna said she was usually flirting with the late night host except for one appearance in 1994 where she was a bit vulgar in her language.

'I was mad at [David Letterman] when I said the F-word a lot. I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time and the thing is he got me all riled up about life in general. So when I went on the show I was feeling very gangsta.'

Madonna was long believed to have dated the iconic rapper in 1994 but she has not spoken publicly about the relationship. Prior to his death, Tupac also referred to Madonna as 'real nice' and someone who 'helped me a lot'.
