Will Smith is a man of morals and values. All of this can be proved from his lifestyle and even his wrapping career.

Will Smith in Dave’s Netflix Show Reveals Why He Never Cursed in Any of His Music Records, but Does It Matter After SLAPGATE?

All the fans of Will Smith know how his career began as a successful rapper. His
rap name and persona of Fresh Prince even earned him his own hit TV show with
his rap buddy Jazzy Jeff. Both Will and Jeff created a separate niche for
themselves in the nascent world of rap by including humor in their music. Their
decision to leave the cuss words was not received well by other artists at the
time.

However, both of them firmly stood by their decision. And now, in his hour-long
episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Will reveals his inspiration
behind not using curse words. But after the Oscar incident, does this policy
still hold?


WILL SMITH REVEALS WHY HE DID NOT SWEAR IN HIS MUSIC

Will Smith truly has been one of the most influential and inspirational
personalities in Hollywood for well over two decades. His lifestyle values and
morals are the best. Ever since Will rose to fame, he has made sure he uses his
platform to educate and inspire people, which also reflects in his music.

Will started his rap career in the late 80s. And while discussing his early rap
days with David letterman [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/david-letterman/] on
the Netflix Original. [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] Smith
points out how their “major distinguishing quality” at that time was to put
jokes and punchlines into their music.

The reason why the Academy Winning actor did not use swear words was because his
grandmother, after finding his first rap book, wrote him a letter and gave him
life-altering advice.

Will shared the beautiful message of the letter on the show. It said, “Dear
Willard, truly intelligent people do not have to use words like these to express
themselves. Please show the world that you are as smart as we think you are.”
