On Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show, Madonna revealed she dated Tupac Shakur. The 56-year-old talked about her brief relationship with the rapper, who tragically died in 1996. Madonna offhandedly remarked about the state of mind she was in during a David Letterman appearance back in the 1990s when her relationship with Tupac was revealed. 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 and I said the f-word a lot," she explained. "I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time and the thing was he got me all riled up about life in general. So when I went on the show I was feeling very gangsta." There have been suspicions about the relationship between Madonna and Tupac iin 1994 but the pop-icon has never spoken publicly about the relationship all that much. Previously, just prior to his death, Tupac referred to Madonna as 'real nice' and someone who 'helped me a lot'. A book by Lucy O’Brien, "Like An Icon (2007)" claims that the "Material Girl" not only dated the rapper but wanted a baby with him. Madonna has never denied the claim but has since gone on to become the mother to four children, ranging in age from nine to 18. Tupac was shot on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson boxing match.
