When Will Smith Went Back to the Rap World With Marc Anthony and Bad Bunny
Oprah Winfrey once said, “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” It seems the iconic actor Will Smith has been following this quote throughout his career. The actor started his career as a rapper. He even launched his own album as well before getting the lead role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
With David Letterman, Smith opened up about many of his life events, including how he got his first break. But before meeting those people and getting the role, Smith left his home to make his name in the music industry. It seems, despite becoming Hollywood’s one of the most successful actors, The Fresh Prince hasn’t left his roots and passion for music as he went back to the world of rapping.
