Will Smith finally admits to copying Rakim’s style on his hit single, “Summertime.” For years, fans speculated that Rakim was a ghostwriter on the song but he shut down those rumors in a 2016 interview. “When they came out with it, a lot of people thought it was me because of the style he used,” he said. However, Rakim also talked about the similarities between his style of rap and what is displayed on Smith’s song. “But it was one of those things where that was them. I didn’t write it. That was [all DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince].”During this past Sunday’s “Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop” Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, as well as Rakim, all performed to celebrate Hip-Hop and after the show Smith told Rakim the truth. “I was absolutely trying to sound like you ‘Summertime.’”He went on to explain his reason for the“copy-cat style” on the song. “Cause I had been screaming all night, and I couldn’t get my ‘happy-go-lucky’ high voice. And Hula just said, ‘Yo, just gimme that Rakim s__t.'”Watch the video below. <a href="https://youtu.be/rtLZMgPhcHU">https://youtu.be/rtLZMgPhcHU</a>

<a href="https://www.wbls.com/wbls-news/rapper-rick-ross-donates-30k-to-save-georgia-clinic">Rick Ross</a> gave his two cents regarding <a href="https://www.wbls.com/wbls-news/jada-pinkett-smith-reveals-details-about-her-sex-life-with-will-smith-its-hard">Jada Pinkett Smith</a> in an interview with <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/rick-ross-interview-las-vegas-drais-nightclub-dj-envy-drake-jada-pinkett-smith-1234868574/">Rolling Stone</a>. When asked how he felt about her “Worthy” book tour, he said, “I don’t think I agree with Jada Pinkett.”Ross continued, “To me, she’s psychologically lost and needs some counseling. Jesus! What you going to tell us next? When you tell us you haven’t been together in six year, you haven’t had sex in this many years, you don’t have a prenuptial agreement—OK, what’s next?"The topic was brought up during the sit-down due to Rick Ross previously working with Pinkett Smiths' former lover, singer August Alsina, 31.As you may recall, the musical artists dropped their collaboration single “Entanglements” in 2020, seemingly in reference to Jada Pinkett Smith, 52, admitting to having an “entanglement” with Alsina while separated from her husband, actor Will Smith, 55. The New Orleans native never outright says Pinkett Smith’s name in the song, but he does sing, “Jaded by her beauty, but her reputation real solid,” and makes references to the movie she starred in, “The Matrix,” and her childhood friend “2Pac.”The Maybach Music rapper continued, “I heard the book flopped because she already told us everything. No one cares. That’s what they don’t understand. Sometimes as celebrities you can get out of touch. Will Smith isn’t the same Will Smith as he was 20 years ago. Jada Pinkett … come on, Jada! Chill out, baby! You were in the movie Set It Off, and that’s all we know you from. You got $15K for that role and that’s it.”

Will Smith takes a stroll down memory lane as he celebrates the 33rd anniversary of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” The show premiered on September 10, 1990, on NBC, and would later become a staple in the world of pop culture and entertainment. On his Instagram, Smith took a picture of himself standing in front of the now-iconic Brentwood home with the caption that read “Moved in 33 years ago today.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CxBDZIbuAO-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Fans immediately began reminiscing with the actor in his comment section. “Wow. Memories of my childhood thx u Will and the whole cast of The Fresh Prince. Can’t believe it's been that long. Still watch and laugh at episodes like they’re new. That is credited to how great you all are. Thx u,” one fan wrote. Actress Daphne Reid also commented and said, “Sorry I didn’t move in with you then! Thank you for having me as your step-aunt.” Reid played the second Aunt Viv in the fourth season and remained until the show ended in 1996. The show had many guests such as Tyra Banks, Nia Long, Don Cheadle, BBD, Jada Pinkett Smith, and more. In 2022, the iconic show was rebooted as a drama called “Bel-Air” which follows the same sentiment of Will, played by actor Jabari Banks, who moves from Philadelphia to live with his aunt and uncle in Bel-Air. In a previous<a href="https://www.revolt.tv/article/2023-09-10/325842/will-smith-marks-the-33rd-anniversary-of-the-fresh-prince/"> interview</a>, Banks spoke about the reboot and said, “I say it like this: If you took all of the characters from the ‘90s but you dove into all of their diaries and all of their journals and what they were feeling internally, that’s what our show is.” He continued, “So that’s going to be super exciting for old fans and new fans to watch, and you’re going to see a lot of callbacks to the original, a lot of tidbits, and a lot of Easter eggs, so that’s going to be exciting as well.” The third season of “Bel-Air” has been delayed until 2024 due to the ongoing writers and actors strike. The first two seasons are currently playing on Peacock. What is your favorite “The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air” episode?

Since she stated how she felt about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, actress Vivica A.Fox has revealed that she has not spoken to Will or Jada since. While on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the actress was asked if she and the Smiths would ever salvage their friendship. “Can I say, there’s no beef,” she said. “I just said, ‘Due to the situation that happened, just take accountability so that everyone can then move forward.’” She continued, “I love Jada, I love Will, I love their whole family. I don’t have beef with them.” Cohen then asked Vivica, “Do they have beef with you?” She replied, “Not that I know of.” In June 2022, Fox appeared on The Wendy Williams Show to express how she felt about the slap that took place three months prior. “I just wish we could have just a little more accountability, and for it to not seem so self-righteous on Jada’s part and that’s my feelings.” Vivica added, “Will Smith was defending her honor. That’s the reason he walked on stage and slapped him because he felt like his wife had been offended. So for me to see no accountability as a partner. Also, let’s not forget, Chris Rock was assaulted. We cannot forget that for basically telling a joke that I really felt wasn’t that bad.” Months after the slap, <a href="https://www.wbls.com/wbls-news/will-smith-releases-statement-after-slapping-chris-rock-at-oscars-unacceptable-and-inexcusable">Will Smith</a> returned to social media and gave Chris Rock an apology.

The two were rising stars in the 90's and Simon believed that it would've been a good look for the show but Smith did not agree. "I remember him saying that would be a really bad idea," Simon said. "And I said, 'No, listen, hear my story," he explained.After a few more tries, Simon realized that Will Smith was not backing down. He recalled that the actor repeatedly refused and kept saying it was a bad idea. "The reason he would say no is because of his image. Period. The End," Simon said.
