Will Smith put on a fiery show at the 2024 BET Awards on Sunday night, performing his new single featuring Sunday Service Choir and Fridayy, “You Can Make It.”
“I don’t know who needs to hear this right now,” the 55-year-old said before launching into the new tune, which dropped on Friday. “But whatever’s going on in your life, I’m here to tell you: You can make it.”
The Oscar-winning actor’s return to his musical roots comes more than two years after his shocking onstage slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. Smith lashed out after apparently getting upset about a joke Rock made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Smith later apologized for the incident and now appears to be having something of a career renaissance.
