He has been in the news for some time now, but his life has not been a bright one. He originally made his debut in the entertainment industry with his talent for rapping. He later became a star through his work in MIB and other productions and became a very famous star as he is today. However, it might have been a bit difficult after he met his life partner. She was originally related to the rapper 2pac, and her daughter wrote a letter to 2pac when she was a little girl asking him to come home, even though Smith was already there. Other than that, they are having an affair with their son's best friend, and they have said they are free to have a relationship after marriage, but the degree is bad. And I think he is starving for love right now. I think that's why he acted the way he did at the Academy Awards. So what I have learned is that love is very important, but sometimes it has a fang.
