In a interview with The Art of Dialogue, Desiree Smith — the woman who appeared in the tape — spoke at length about the incident and insisted she was neither underage or intoxicated at the time of their tryst.

“We were just having fun. We was drinking, but I wasn’t intoxicated like I didn’t know my surroundings. We had some weed, we drank and we was just having fun. He had a camcorder he had just got and we did what some people do. I usually don’t do that, but I did it with him, and I didn’t expect for it to go the way it went. It was his lawyer that was the one that came and met me and told the cops and the press that he had interviewed the person. And they took that tape when they came to arrest him for the sexual assault. They saw that tape.

“What’s hilarious is, we weren’t that fucked up. It was weed. It was a drink or two or three. And you know, what ended up happening with that is they put that out. He called me and told me his lawyer would be contacting me and that he was going to come have lunch with me and we would discuss. He needed to interview me to see what direction he was going to need to take. I’m not going to say my age, but I’m sure I don’t look how old I really am. When I was young, I looked younger than I was, but I wasn’t underage.”

DAILY NEWS VIDEO TAPE

November 26, 1993 Tupac Shakur, who is already facing two criminal charges, may also be in trouble for having sex with a drugged- up, underage girl. Police told New York's Daily News they found a videotape of Shakur having sex with the girl during a search of the Parker Meridien Hotel room where Shakur is accused of sexually abusing a 20-year-old woman.

'She does not look like she's in her right frame of mind,' the police source said. 'She looks like she's underage...and under the influence of drugs. Shakur is believed to have shot the videotape himself, but attorney Michael Warren questioned Friday whether the girl is underage or intoxicated.

'It's purely speculative if they don't know who the young lady is, what her age is, and whether she's intoxicated,' Warren said. Investigators want to find the woman in the videotape. They also are trying to locate other women who sent Shakur their telephone numbers and photographs to determine whether he may have abused any of them.

Warren has dismissed much of the police efforts as harassment, saying law enforcement officials are pursuing a vendetta against Shakur because he is accused of shooting two off-duty police officers in Atlanta last month.
