"I got a story about Pac. So, it's 1994. I'm 19. [Apl's] 19. I'm a virgin. He's not. And he had this girlfriend. She looked like Rosie Perez, bro. She was beautiful -- a Puerto Rican girl named Rosario," he recalled.
At the time, he said his bandmate talked about taking Rosario to Roscoe's House of Chicken 'N Waffles, and Apl.De.Ap did take her there. However, during the date, Tupac unexpectedly arrived at the restaurant.
"They sit there having their lunch and in walks Tupac. Tupac's eyes were all on Rosario," he continued.
Upon seeing Tupac, Rosario reportedly asked to sit with the rapper to get his autograph, per Will.I.Am.
"N***a, 20 minutes turned into 30 minutes, into 40 minutes, and the chicken and waffles got real cold. Grits turned real hard. And [Apl's] like, 'I'm outta here, I'm outta here.' And so he walks home," the BEP frontman added.
Will.I.Am clarified that Tupac and Rosario "didn't do nothing" and "ain't doin' s**t at the freakin' booth" and just stayed at the restaurant.
"But, [Tupac] snatched Apl's girl up," he claimed.
Tupac, better known as 2Pac and Makaveli, was reportedly known as a ladies' man in his heyday. He dated actresses, musicians and models, according to Pop Sugar. Included in his dating history were Madonna, Keisha Morris, Whitney Houston, Jara Everett, Heather Hunter, Yolanda "Yo-Yo" Whitaker and Kidada Jones.
Unfortunately, he died at the young age of 25 in September 1996, six days after a gunman shot him four times at a stoplight in Las Vegas.
