Will Smith, the renowned actor and rapper, has made a notable return to the music scene with the release of his album “Based on a True Story” on March 28, 2025. This marks his first musical project in two decades, following his 2005 album “Lost and Found.” The new album delves into significant personal events, including the widely publicized 2022 Oscars incident where Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock, as well as offering insights into his marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith.
The opening track, “Int. Barbershop – Day,” sets the tone by directly addressing the Oscars controversy. In this song, Smith engages in a candid dialogue about his legacy and public perception, featuring lyrics that reflect on the slap and its aftermath. He raps, “I heard he won the Oscar but he had to give it back,” acknowledging the incident and the subsequent fallout.
Another notable track, “You Lookin’ for Me?,” explores Smith’s personal life, touching upon his complex relationship with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The song suggests that their marriage is “complicated” and urges others to mind their own business, highlighting the couple’s desire for privacy amidst public scrutiny.
“Based on a True Story” comprises 14 tracks and features collaborations with several artists, including DJ Jazzy Jeff, B. Simone, India Martínez, Teyana Taylor, Joyner Lucas, and Smith’s son, Jaden Smith. These collaborations bring a diverse range of styles and perspectives to the album, enriching its overall composition.
In conjunction with the album release, Smith has announced a European tour set to begin in June 2025, with performances scheduled in various cities, including dates in Spain.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
