As told by Frank Alexander (Tupac's bodyguard)

Madonna

When we were working on Gridlock'd, we had a lot of time to shoot the sh-t because we were sitting around for eight weeks. The funny thing about moviemaking is people think it's all excitement and action, but a lot of the time, you're just waiting around for scenes to be set up or for people to be called to the set.

We had eight weeks to spend together in the trailer, confined. Either we're gonna fight, f-ck, or not get along. Since it was me and Pac, obviously we weren't f-cking or fighting. We spent the downtime talking about things.

We were watching a talk show, and it was during Madonna's pregnancy, and they flashed a picture of Carlos Leon and Madonna walking into a New York building on the screen. Leon is the father of Madonna's baby girl Lourdes. Pac had just rolled a blunt and after he finished inhaling a big toke, he said, "You know, that used to be me."

I said, "Yeah, right, get the f-ck outta here," thinking he was just f-ckin' with me.

"Nigga, I'm serious, that was me," he said, and I could tell he was. "Lemme tell you something, anytime I tell you something about a bitch, it's for real."

I said, "A'ight. So what's up between you and ol' girl?" He said, "Nothing."

I said, "Did you know her, then?"

"Dude," he said, "I used to spend time with Madonna in New York." I said, "You did?" Damn, I'm thinking, this brotha does get around. That was the end of the conversation. He never mentioned her again, and I have no reason to believe he was lying.
