Will Smith recently released new music after a long hiatus from the music industry. In his latest track, Smith raps about overcoming adversity and having faith in the face of challenges. This could be seen as a reflection of the difficult past few years he has had since the infamous Academy Awards incident.
One of the most significant events that has overshadowed Smith in recent years was the “Slap Heard ‘Round the World.” This incident occurred when he slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. This led to intense public scrutiny over the state of Smith’s marriage with Pinkett Smith, which has been rocky since 2016.
Despite their marital issues, Smith and Pinkett Smith have confirmed that they have been separated since 2016 but have no plans to legally divorce. They have managed to maintain an amicable relationship despite their personal struggles.
Smith’s last full-length album was released back in 2005, titled “Lost and Found.” However, he surprised fans by releasing a new single, “Light ‘Em Up,” featuring Sean Paul for the soundtrack of the movie “Bad Boys 4.” This marks the first time in almost two decades that Smith has offered fans new music to enjoy.
