Will Smith is back in the spotlight, and this time it's with a fiery freestyle rap that seems to directly address his infamous 2022 Oscars slap of Chris Rock. The actor and musician recently appeared on British DJ Charlie Sloth's "Fire in the Booth," dropping some pointed lyrics that have the internet buzzing.
A Subtle, Yet Powerful Diss
While Smith doesn't explicitly name Rock, the references are hard to miss. He raps, "If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the stage." He continues with, "Jokers dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it / City full of real ones, wasn’t raised to fake it." These lines are widely interpreted as a direct response to Rock's joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head at the Oscars, which triggered the shocking altercation.
Reclaiming the Narrative
The freestyle is seen as Smith reclaiming control of his narrative after a period of reflection and self-examination. In a recent interview, Smith acknowledged the difficult period following the Oscars, stating he needed to dissolve his addiction to the approval of others. This new music seems to be a way for him to address the past head-on and move forward.
