Having Lots of Sex Didn’t Make Will Smith Happy

Will Smith is a superstar and looks to be one of the happiest and most successful people on this planet.

Opening up on TIDAL’s Rap Radar podcast, the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star talked about his 20-year marriage to fellow actor Jada Pinkett Smith and his new upcoming rap album and the song “The Mountantop.”

“I’m granting myself the freedom to not give a f**k when I don’t give a f**k,” said Smith about the song.

“The idea is… I’ve been to the top of money, I’ve had all the sex that I’ve ever wanted, I’ve had all of the adoration,” he notes. “I’ve been to the top of all those material world mountains and nothing makes you happy other than being useful to others. That’s it. That’s the only thing that ever will satisfy that thing, is that what you’re doing is useful.”

“I haven’t maintained my authenticity per se,” he says. “I’ve maintained the character of Will Smith…[who] signs every autograph, is always happy, and wants to see the fans and that’s not actually authentic. I do want to slap somebody every once in a while.”

That he did. Smith slapped someone at the 2012 premiere of Men in Black 3 in Moscow.

Hollywood prankster Vitalii Sediuk attempted to kiss Smith on the lips and he wasn’t having it.

“I get back and I’m pissed that somebody thinks because you’re famous, they get to do whatever they want to do to you,” he recalls. “So, I’m in my room and I had 10 urgent messages from Jay-Z.”
“So I call him and say, ‘What’s up?’ He said, ‘I just saw the video of you slapping the dude in Russia. I just want you to know you’ll never make a better piece of entertainment. It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.’ He said, ‘Me and Bey, we got a show tonight, and we’re thinking about cancelling it and just staying in and watching you slap this dude.’”
