R&B superstar R Kelly has recently claimed that Jay Z wasn't  the original choice for the "Best of Both Worlds" collaboration album. He says the album was meant for Tupac Shakur.

In an interview with XXL Magazine, R. Kelly spoke about Tupac's untimely death:

"Well 'I Wish' was basically about Tupac at first. I met Tupac in L.A. at the [Hotel Nikko], and he was rolling by in his drop-top whatever hot car. I seen him, and I yelled out, "'Pac! 'Pac!" He was driving by, rolling by himself. I'm like, 'This n***a got a lot of balls to be rolling by hisself!" So we kicked it for a minute, I said "Dude, we need to do an album." See, The Best Of Both Worlds was for me and Pac at first. "I Wish" was gonna be the first song we were gonna do."
