According to Jada as reiterated by Jimmy on the show, Will used to panhandle, go onto the streets and ask strangers for money. This was the case when he did not have any cash or any wallet on him. Elaborating Will narrated a story about the incident. As Smith said, once when they were walking down the streets of New York, they came across the first palate of whole food.
