Will Smith Starred in a 1999 Megaflop, but Its Song Featuring Sisqó Remains a Favorite Amongst Fans
Even the biggest flops of Will Smith are remembered fondly. The Oscar winner is perhaps one of the most versatile celebrities in today’s era. We may know him for his different roles, but it was his musical career that became the base of his long journey that helped climb the ladders of Hollywood. Although he focused his career on the big screens, his passion as the Fresh Prince dripped through his movies in the following years.
One such movie was Wild Wild West. There was a question on Twitter, asking about a song in which the featured artist took things to another level. The clear winner of the answer was Sisqó in the song ‘Wild Wild West’. It was part of the 1999 mega-flop movie of the same title starring Will Smith. Both the artists sang and danced in a full-fledged video, giving visual treats with hats, dancers, and colorful clothing.

While the movie itself still remains a laughing matter for fans, they remember it fondly for Smith’s performance.
