Will Smith is set to make a grand return to the stage this weekend. But not just any stage – the legendary BET Awards. The award show is known for celebrating Black excellence in entertainment. It will be graced by Smith’s presence on Sunday, June 30th. The actor will not only attend but also deliver a highly anticipated performance.
According to a press release from BET, the biggest highlight of Smith’s appearance will be the debut of a brand-new song. The statement reads, “From his start as a rapper to The Fresh Prince to being a box office king as one of the Bad Boys, Will Smith is truly a global icon, and we are honoured to welcome him back to grace the BET Awards stage.”
“We look forward to Will adding to yet another defining night for the culture that is not to be missed.”
This marks a significant moment for fans, as it’s been six years since Smith released any new solo music. His last album, Lost and Found, dropped in 2017. Ever since, movie roles have taken centre stage in his career.
The BET Awards will serve as the platform for Smith to release his latest musical offering. The public does not yet know the details of the song’s genre or title, but the anticipation is visible.
Additionally, this performance also signifies Smith’s first return to the BET Awards. He co-hosted the ceremony with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith back in 2005.
Adding to the excitement, the news of Smith’s musical return comes just weeks after the box office success of his latest film, Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
With his career flourishing on both the big screen and potentially, the music scene, all eyes will be on Will Smith at the BET Awards this weekend.
