Will Smith’s box office entry this year was a sight to behold, but his return to the rap game was the one fans cherished even more. However, unlike his billion-dollar wheeler, which warmed up the blockbuster slate for its successors to sit back and enjoy, everyone was not sold on his musical comeback. But that did not dent Smith’s larger-than-life ambitions of making music a part of his artistic renaissance. Recently, the Bad Boys star dropped a new rap verse, and fans are comparing his razor-sharp flow to Joyner Lucas, sparking a lot of polarity.

No lungs went into making Joyner Lucas, but Will Smith’s latest verse has fans wondering if god lent him the same magic trick. The 56-year-old star kicked off November in high musical spirits to remind the rapper from Philly still has the bars by sharing an Instagram reel with a fresh verse, filmed from outside with Smith inside his car in a red leather jacket with dark pants. Smith tagged Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba in the caption, declaring his version, a Team Tomodachi remix is available now. 

Will Smith unleashes an impeccably tight flow in his latest verse, seemingly directed at skeptics who once doubted his musical comeback and even cracked jokes. Unlike his immediate success on the big screen, Smith’s return to rap did not exactly soar off the shelves right out of the gate. Still, he has been vocal about the unique freedom music brings him; something no other pursuit can match. However, skeptics kept at it, raising eyebrows at his gangland tribute and making note of his age.

While his rhythmic precision and perfectly interlocking syllables ring in a Joyner Lucas vibe, this verse left fans both hyped and divided, leaving a mixed state of emotions.

Will Smith is on a mission to reclaim his musical legacy, making it clear that no barriers can hold him back. Despite his powerful flow, scathing lyrics, blemish-free execution, and comparisons to Joyner Lucas, some are struggling to accept that the verse is genuinely Smith’s. Others who do believe it grapple with the shade he is throwing, considering his age.

Meanwhile, even with the disbelief, fans have been floored by the mastery Smith just showed in a 30-second verse alone.

Smith may have aimed to prove he still got the bars to spark a rap battle at any moment and even delivered. But even after dropping a fire verse, some skeptics stick around, reminding everyone that, no matter how high you climb, there will always be a few trying to pull you back down.
