The jiggy is again.
Later the slap that shook the Academy Awards in 2022, Will Smith were given his rap groove again on the BET Awards on Sunday evening.
The 53-year-old Oscar and Grammy winner carried out his brandnew unmarried “You Can Make It,” a gospel-charged testimony — that includes Haitian-American singer Fridayy and the Sunday Provider Choir — that was once excepted on Friday.
The efficiency marked the primary date Smith seemed at an awards display since he infamously slapped comic Chris Rock around the face for a comic story on the expense of Smith’s spouse Jada Pinkett Smith.
“The darker the hell you gotta endure/The brighter the heaven you get to enjoy/The harder the fall, the higher you soar/God opens a window when the devil closes the door,” raps Smith, sounding extra just like the Unutilized Preacher.
“Believe me, they tried to bleed Will Smith/In the rearview, I see adversity was the gift/To lift me higher gifts require faith/So dry your eyes and then you’ll find the way,” he continues over the take-you-to-church association.
All of it continues the Oscar Slapgate redemption excursion that Smith has been on since “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” opened to boffo field workplace on June 7, reestablishing the actor as a bankable film megastar.
However now, the “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” MC is having a look to regain the song cred that led DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Unutilized Prince to obtain the primary Grammy for Very best Rap Efficiency in 1989.
Smith wasn’t the one rap icon to pull the level on the 2024 BET Awards: Ms. Lauryn Hill celebrated the twenty fifth per annum of her Magazine of the Hour Grammy win for her 1998 vintage “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.”
Additionally acting on the display — hosted for the fourth date by way of Taraji P. Henson — have been Megan Thee Stallion, Ice Spice, Latto, Victoria Monét, Shaboozey, Tyla and Glorilla.
