Will Smith is once again making headlines—this time for his bold return to music. The 55-year-old actor and rapper, best known for his early hits like Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It and Summertime, has stepped back into the rap game after years of focusing on acting. However, his comeback has not been met with the warmest reception.

According to a recent report by RadarOnline.com, several music industry insiders and critics are heavily criticizing Smith’s latest musical efforts. “Will is almost a [old-age] now, and there’s no way he’ll be able to connect with today’s hip-hop crowd,” one source bluntly stated. Another insider didn’t hold back, claiming, “This stinks of desperation — and the music stinks, too. It’s actually some of the worst in history.”

Will Smith’s once-shining career took a significant hit after the infamous 2022 Oscars incident, where he slapped comedian Chris Rock during the live broadcast. Since then, public opinion has been divided, and his recent musical comeback appears to have added fuel to the fire. Critics argue that his attempt to reclaim a spot in the rap world feels forced and out of touch.

“Will has been out of the music game for so long, rap fans just don’t seem to think he’s relevant anymore,” another industry source noted. “He always leaned toward lighter, family-friendly rap, but the current scene is dominated by raw, intense voices like Kendrick Lamar. That just isn’t the world Will Smith fits into anymore.”

Despite the criticism, Will remains determined. One insider revealed that he’s currently testing the waters overseas before planning a full U.S. tour. However, not everyone is optimistic. “He’s now a relic in the rap world,” a source said. “This comeback could backfire so badly that it may end whatever’s left of his music career.”

While Will Smith’s return to rap may be a nostalgic moment for longtime fans, the current hip-hop landscape has evolved dramatically. Whether his comeback becomes a surprise hit or a cautionary tale remains to be seen—but one thing’s for sure: Will Smith is once again at the center of controversy.
