When we think of Will Smith, many of us envision a charismatic and versatile entertainer who has left a lasting impression on both the hip-hop and acting industries. From his early days as a rapper to his blockbuster success as an actor, Will Smith’s career has been a testament to his incredible talent, work ethic, and undeniable star power. And now, even though he has left his hip-hop glam behind, his interests certainly resided there.

Well, he is not only into it, but he also promotes and supports new artists in the industry. On that record, the Pursuit of Happyness actor’s new favorite rapper is Joyner Lucas. A few days ago, Will Smith apparently shared a glimpse of Lucas’s brand new single, ‘Broskie,’ on his Facebook handle announcing that the 34-year-old American rapper is his “Favorite Rapper!”

The video song apparently stars rapper and actor Rotimi and portrays how your best pals can change once money and power come into the picture. ‘Broski’ is notably one song among many others from the rapper’s brand new Long Play, ‘Not Now, I’m Busy.’ The other songs include ‘Cut You Off,’ ‘Devil’s Work Part 2,’ ‘What’s That,’ and a few more. Notably, this will mark his very first album since  2020.

You see, a few friendships know no bounds! One such extraordinary collaboration in the world of hip-hop is that of Smith and Lucas. Who would create a whole song about you otherwise, right? As soon as the Emancipation actor came across the song, he said he was “humbled and honored.” And just a few months later fans got a remix of the song featuring Will Smith. 

Well, Lucas not only considers Smith his “idol” but is also good friends with his son, Jaden Smith. Furthermore, in his latest album also, the rapper could not stop but talk about the Emancipation actor, reversing the whole slap-gate controversy. In ‘Devil’s Work Part 2,’ he raps- “Erase that Will Smith slap and turn him back around/ Or wait ’til they get backstage so they could have it out,” Joyner raps. He further suggests through the lyrics that Chris Rock could also have chosen some different joke that would not hurt Will Smith’s wife.
