Keisha Morris met Tupac Shakur on June 19, 1994, when she was 20 years old at Chippendale’s Club, currently known as Capitolin New York, on a father’s day dance. At that time, the rapper was facing a legal trial. The actress, who came to the club with her friend Jamine, asked her to hold onto her bag because she was going to dance with the music legend.
According to sources, she grabbed his hand and told him to come with her. On that day, the two of them danced to Wu Tang’s song C.R.E.A.M while the rap king sang to her. After another lady tried to get Tupac’s attention, Keisha left him without exchanging contact details.
On July 5, 1995, she attended Tupac’s Tunnel night club where they saw each other for the second time. This time around, the rapper shot his shot and gave her his pager number on a piece of paper, while she gave him her house address. He further told her that he was meant to fly back to Atlanta the next day but would stay back to give her a treat.
The next day, he took her out to dinner at an Italian hotel, after which she spent the night with him. She left the next day and left a note for him while he was still asleep. Tupac flew back to Atlanta that same day, leaving messages for her. Keisha went camping in Pennsylvania and couldn’t place a call across to him. When she came back, she decided to pay him a visit in Atlanta. They had lots of fun in Atlanta before she flew back, and they kept in contact with each other.
After the visits, Tupac would always send Keisha Morris a gift. In 1995, the musician received a sentence ranging from one and a half years to four and a half years in prison for rape and illegal possession of arms. Fortunately for him, he served the sentence for just 10 months.

After the rap king was sent to jail, Keisha took out time and visited him daily. According to the rapper, he wanted people to take her seriously and know that she was his wife. On the other hand, he wanted her to visit him daily so that he could get out of his cell.
