What’s the point of buying the book if everybody is just going to write articles about it? Do I even need to read the book at this point?
Crazily, I agreeI don’t
but based on how much Will Smith has achieved only few black men in the entertainment industry could top that

He goes on to admit he felt a “twisted kind of victory” when she spent more time with him than Tupac.
“If she chose me over Tupac, there was no way I could be a coward,” Will Smith says. “I have rarely felt more validated… I was in a room with Tupac on multiple occasions, but I never spoke to him. The way Jada loved Pac rendered me incapable of being friends with him. I was too immature.”

All you’re getting from these click bait headlines is just shyt to gossip about…here’s a little context of that statement he made

In a weird way, I think I understand what he’s doing. He’s trying demonstrate what it truly means to be free in this society. Not trying to sound existential but imagine being in a place where you can literally say eff it and say everything that you’ve ever bottled up and share that without care of judgement. The stuff that Will is talking about is not something people don’t get or understand. We all get it. It’s just most of us wouldn’t reveal it bc of how others will judge us or how we perceive we would like to others by admitting we are envious, jealous and have failures. Most people hide their failures. Most try not to be vulnerable. Most wish they could literally shed the weight of the masks they wear every single day interacting with different groups of people. I don’t always agree with what the Smiths say but I think I understand what they are doing. They are removing all the weight that comes with being them. If you’ve watched Will for awhile from all of his interviews and his YouTube videos you could see this was germinating for awhile. All of his expectations and weight he felt to carry as a black man and the world top actor has changed as he’s grown. He’s in a place where he’s life screw what everybody else thinks. I’m gonna be me, not the version people want to see. The real me. It’s real freedom.
that’s my thoughts. Based on peoples reactions and commentary about him, you could see how society tries to box you in and even in honesty they judge you and clown your for it.
He tried that before.Will bout to drop a Trap Album![]()
