A letter, which rapper Tupac wrote to singer Madonna while he was in jail has revealed that he dumped her because she was white.


Tupac writes in part of the letter obtained by TMZ, "For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting. But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my 'image' I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was. I never meant to hurt you."

It will go up for auction July 19 - 28 at Gotta Have Rock and Roll. Starting bid is $100k and it's expected to fetch a lot more. The last letter written by Tupac sold for more than $170k.
