Mariah Carey will go to her grave regretting the fact she never acted on rapper Tupac Shakur's fondness for her.
The pop superstar was well aware of the compliments Shakur paid her and still thinks he could have been the love of her life if she'd only acted on instinct and dumped her husband Tommy Mottola to be with the late rap icon.
Carey even has a photo of the rapper taking a bubble bath hanging up in her New York home.
She says, "Everybody always told me that he liked my music and I was always complimented by that."
Carey admits her heart still flutters when she remembers her only encounter with Tupac at a post-Grammys party.
She recalls, "He was driving by in this white Rolls Royce -this was when I was still with Tommy - and he just stops and I see him, and he's like, `Hey, Mariah.'
"I just said hi and then had to go back in... It could have been perfect."
