Smith also fact-checked other scenes in the film, writing on Twitter that the late rapper never said goodbye to her \"before leaving for LA,\" and that she's \"never been to any of Pac's shows by his request.\"

/>\"The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful,\" she wrote.

Pinkett Smith also clarified that she wasn't upset with the actors Shipp and Graham.

\"All Eyez On Me\" was directed by Benny Boom and written by Jeremy Haft, Eddie Gonzalez and Steven Bagatourian.

\"To @KatGraham and @Dshippjr this is no fault of yours. Thank you for bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles,\" Pinkett Smith tweeted. \"You both did a beautiful job with what you were given. Thank you both.\"

You both did a beautiful job with what you were given. Thank you both.
