The documentary series, Hopelessly In Love, which first aired on on Lifetime January 4th, has revealed plenty about famous celebrity couples of the past, including the tumultuous relationship between the late TLC rapper, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and football star, Andre Rison, in the 90s. Among the details shared, the truth about Lisa's suspected affair with Tupac, who was friends with Andre, is brought to light, as well as a surprising revelation about Lisa and Tupac's boss at the time, Suge Knight.
View this post on InstagramThe documentary discusses how Lisa and Andre were in an "on-and-off relationship," and would "fight often" and "break up for months." All parties, including Andre, wholeheartedly agree that Lisa was in love with Tupac, calling him "her soulmate" and noting that "if Tupac was willing to go there, then Lisa would have definitely dated [him]." However, despite countless suspicions over the years, everyone in the documentary confirms that Lisa never slept with Tupac. Though Andre, who "knew how Lisa felt about Pac," claimed that "Lisa would always deny that she slept with Pac, and I still didn't believe it," another interviewee insists that "Tupac told Lisa in the very beginning, 'Never let me sleep with you,' and they stood by that."

However, after Tupac's death in 1996, "Lisa was devastated." Though she and Andre got engaged, she quickly called off the wedding, and the two went their separate ways for good. When Lisa wanted to leave TLC and go in her own creative direction, she approached Suge Knight at Death Row Records, and they started working together. However, Suge reveals that their relationship was more than just professional. "...it was a sexual relationship, I had major love for her...I cared for her," he revealed. Andre confirms that Lisa "had relations with Suge...and that's just messy." Messy, indeed.
Faith Evans Is Upset About Lifetime’s Doc On Her & Biggie’s Relationship
Faith Evans isn’t exactly appreciating the way it turned out.
An upcoming episode of Lifetime’s Hopelessly In Love exploring the relationship between Faith Evans and Biggie Smalls is set to debut soon but it appears those closest to the late rapper aren’t feeling the outcome of the documentary. Speaking to PageSix, Faith Evans blasted Lifetime for the “sensational” doc, claiming that the documentary didn’t turn out the way they pitched it to her.
“I feel upset that I’m attached to it. I was told that it would be a positive piece with a little more of my personal background. It wasn’t pitched to me as a story rehashing the sensationalized events that took place,” she said. “I am beyond that and have no need to open old wounds, damage repaired relationships and, above all, soil the legacy of Christopher Wallace.”
The trailer was released a week and a half ago with the episode airing on Jan. 10th. Mind you, the trailer seems a bit more dramatic than what it appears, especially given Faith’s statements surrounding it. She added that Lifetime is messy for the series, especially when it comes to the stories about Tupac and Lil Kim — topics she feels has been covered time and time again.
“Ms. Wallace is pissed,” Evans continued. Everyone was blindsided. She has worked very hard for his legacy to be acknowledged in a more positive light. He’s nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This [doc] is taking steps backward.”
You likely won’t see her promoting it on social media either. She added, “It’s about my morals. I would never do business I’m not proud of at this point in my career. I’m not happy.”
