Salli Richardson

Vonda introduced us (at a party), and Salli was totally cool with me. I let them inside and I guess this is the first time Tupac and Salli met each other. It occurred to me Tupac would probably like some privacy right about now. So I walked in the trailer and said, "Hey, Vonda, why don't you keep me company, I'm getting bored out here." The timing was perfect. Tupac had that look of mischief in his eye I knew so well.

Check this out, this was all going down around eleven A.M., but Salli didn't leave the trailer until somewhere around five P.M., so they were really getting into each other.

After she left, I went back in the trailer and this nigga's in there, jumping up and down, putting his hand all over his face, talkin' bout, "Nigga! Can you believe it?! Salli Richardson, the finest f-ckin' actress out there. Fine sista! I'm gonna f-ckin' hook that up."

I said to him, "Now, Pac, she's the kind of material to be your lady, not just somebody to be f-ckin' around with."

He said, "yeah, I know, huh? I should kick it on the real with her." "She's somebody you could put on your arm and go to an awards ceremony with," I said.

He agreed. Pac was sprung. He told me he was gonna hook up with her later that night, and from that day on, Salli was on the set. It got real hot and heavy between the two of them, and before you knew it, she was driving his green convertible Jaguar and kickin' at his Wilshire house.

Me and Kevin Hackie started making bets. "She's a fly-by-nighter," he said. "Bet she's not around even a month." I agreed. Knowing Pac, Kevin's estimate was generous. We all gave him the benefit of the doubt, though.

Usually, when Salli was in the trailer, I stayed outside the trailer, Vonda used to pop in occasionally and hang with them, and sometimes I would go inside and find Salli laying on top of Pac, with his shirt off. Salli usually wore something like a halter top, and she was definitely into him.

Vonda started telling me stories about Salli. "That's my girl, she's in a relationship with Ol' Boy..." She was referring to the dude who was related to Babyface. "I think he's just too soft for her and she wants a thug, she wants a hard nigga. I think her and Tupac's gonna get along really good."

From what I gathered from Vonda, Salli was really into Pac. She'd never been with anybody like him, and was down for a brotha who was so controversial, and the fact that he was a bad boy, a roughneck.

He must've felt the fever too, because one day he called up a Death Row employee named Roy and had him purchase a necklace for her, with a diamond heart locket. Probably cost him somewhere around $15,000- Pac didn't care about the price.

When the package showed up, I brought it into the trailer for her. She and Pac were in bed and I didn't see her response to the gift, but I sure heard it. When she came out of the trailer, she was wearing it, and she winked at me. She was beaming.

He and Salli continued making some noise of their own. She kept showing up everyday, following us to different locations, and when she took off one evening, I started messing with him. "You know I got the 411 from Vonda, nigga. What's up, what you gonna do?"

Pac said, "Man, she's fine, she's bad. I'm gonna kick it with her for a while."

I said, "A'ight, just treat her good if you want her around." No sooner than I said that, the relationship was over.

I was off for two days, and by the time I came back, Salli wasn't around anymore, but this girl who was supposedly his "housekeeper," and was staying with him at his new house in Calabasas, was around.

The first thing I noticed, was the convertible Jaguar was back on the set, but he wasn't-driving it. He'd bought himself a white Land Cruiser. I asked him how come he had two cars on the set.

"I took the Jag back from Salli," he said. "What happened?" I asked.

All he said was, "f-ck that bitch." End of story.

As quick as it started, it was over. Probably lasted only two weeks total. I tried to get the 411 from Vonda but she didn't know what went down-all she knew was Salli was at home, heartbroken. There was some "he said, she said" bullsh-t, and Pac cussed Salli out. Apparently, someone had spread a rumor that Pac asked Salli to marry him and that's what started the argument. Whatever Salli did say, had supposedly gotten back to Kidada Jones, who was going out with Pac at the time. Kidada's the daughter of Quincy Jones And Pac was seeing her.
