Before Will Smith began headlining blockbuster films and starring on a hit sitcom, he was a massively popular rapper, who went by the moniker The Fresh Prince. He and his partner, Jeff Townes (a.k.a. DJ Jazzy Jeff) crafted a number of hit singles back in the day. Smith’s days as a hip hop phenom have long since passed, but he may be seeking to make a comeback in that regard. That’s right, rumor has it that the A-lister is pondering the notion of reviving his rap career. While that possibility may delight some, I have somewhat mixed feelings on that theoretically happening.
Speculation regarding the 55-year-old’s supposed return to rap was reported on by RadarOnline, who spoke with several insiders who made the claims. Per the sources, the Oscar winner is considering this career move because his acting opportunities have dried up as of late. Said drought is allegedly due to the infamous Oscars slap involving Chris Rock, which occurred back in early 2022. At this point, the star himself has not confirmed whether he’s making such plans. However, there may be evidence to back up these claims.
