Actress Rosie Perez reveals she is the one who hooked of Tupac and Madonna....
From People
Rosie Perez essentially played matchmaker for Madonna and Tupac Shakur.
On the Wednesday, Nov. 6 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the Do the Right Thing star, 60, opened up about how she became Madge's wing-woman when it came to the "How Do You Want It" rapper, per Entertainment Weekly.
Perez revealed that back in 1993, her then-beau had bailed on being her date to the Soul Train Music Awards, so her good friend Shakur stepped in instead.
"So I was going to the Soul Train Music Awards and my date calls me up a half an hour before I'm getting in the car," she said, "and says, 'I can't go with you because my girlfriend will see me.'"
At this point, an outraged Barrymore is ready to teleport back to 1993 and fight this man — whoever he may be — with her bare hands, but Perez continues.
"I was like, 'You mother...!" she said. After the conversation with her ex-beau ended, the phone rang again and she initially thought it was the jerk she had been dating, but she realized it was Shakur. The White Men Can't Jump actress then began crying and spilled the story to him.
"And he said, 'You know what, I'm gonna go with you, we're gonna walk up in there, we're gonna act like we're on a date, and he's going to die,'" Perez recalled.
During the awards show, Madonna, 66, arrived and was immediately intrigued by the late hip-hop icon.
"She was there and she came up to me and she was like, 'Yo, what's up? Y'all are together?' And I said, 'No,' she goes, 'Really?' I go, 'Yeah,' she goes, 'Hook me up. I said, 'You got it,'" the Birds of Prey actress said.

Madonna jumped on anyone that was hot at the moment. There was a rumor at the time that she was the reason Lisa Bonet broke up with Lenny Kravitz. They were getting hot and heavy while working on "Justify My Love".
THE RUMOR THAT SUPPOSEDLY ENDED LENNY KRAVITZ & LISA BONET AS A MARRIED COUPLE WAS INGRID CHAVEZ FROM THE "GRAFFITI BRIDGE" FILM-NOT MADONNA, SOURCES SAY.
Let Tupac rest in peace like your dead career Rosie.
@ 6:37 PM...Lenny is a rock star. It was probably due to both of them and then some. I only heard about Madonna.
^^^^^^^ I'M WELL AWARE OF WHO LENNY KRAVITZ IS.
LENNY PRODUCED JUSTIFY MY LOVE FOR MADONNA, BUT THE RUMORS WERE THAT HE WAS INVOLVED WITH INGRID CHAVEZ, WHOSE MUSIC HE WAS ALSO PRODUCING AS A FAVOR TO PRINCE AFTER INGRID CHAVEZ CO-STARRED IN PRINCE'S MOVIE GRAFFITI BRIDGE.
YEAH, I'M QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE LONG AGO RUMOR & ESPECIALLY WHO LK IS, GIVEN I'M A FAN OF HIS.
