Over the years, it's been speculated how The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star really feels about his wife's close relationship with the late rapper.

In his new memoir, which arrived on Tuesday, Will got brutally honest about what he says was "raging jealously" over the two's intimate friendship.

Jada and Tupac were practically inseparable until he was tragically killed in 1996.

The Red Table Talk host often mentions her late friend and the deep connection the two shared.

In the book, the King Richard actor said that he wasn't exactly happy with Jada and Tupac's bond.

"In the beginning of our relationship, my mind was tortured by their connection. He was 'PAC! I was me," the 53-year-old wrote.

"He triggered the perception of myself as a coward," he continued. "I hated that I wasn't what he was in the world, and I suffered a raging jealousy. I wanted Jada to look at me like that."

Will further detailed that despite seeing the brazen rapper from time to time, the two were never able to become friends.

"The way Jada loved 'Pac rendered me incapable of being friends with him," Will admitted. "I was too immature."

Yet, his feeling towards Tupac isn't the only thing Will got honest about in his new release.

Last Wednesday, an excerpt from the telling memoir revealed that Will fell in love with his former costar Stockard Channing during his first marriage to Sheree Zampino.

More shocking tidbits from the book include the actor contemplating suicide at the age of 13, taking the psychoactive brew ayahuasca while on a 14-day retreat to Peru, and his sexual relationship with Jada.

"We drank every day, we had sex multiple times every day for four straight months," the Grammy-winning artist newly shared in his book. "I started to wonder if this was a competition. Either way, as far as I was concerned, there were only two possibilities: I was going to satisfy this woman sexually, or I was going to die trying."

Some fans still disagree with Will and Jada's openness about their 23-year marriage.

Still, the long-standing couple has never been shy about their feelings towards each other, or the issues they've overcome.
