Will Smith Releases First Album in 20 Years
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 Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
