The couple is going through a complicated period
The Smiths' marriage has been on the rocks since 'the slap'. Following the scandal at the last Oscars ceremony, Will Smith has been banned from the Academy Awards for 10 years.
As a reminder, the video that went viral was triggered by a tasteless joke by comedianChris Rock. Smith 'came to the rescue' of his wife by going on stage and hitting the comedian who was joking about his wife's condition, alopecia.
By comparing her to a bald actress in a film, Rock certainly brought the I Am Legend actor out of his shell. Widely condemned by many of the actors present, the professional consequences of this act of violence were dramatic.
A sultry track that adds to the Smith controversy
It was none other than the Smiths' son, Jaden Smith, who introduced the rapper to his mother in 2015. Alsina and Pinkett reportedly went through a period of 'very strong bonding,' otherwise known as an affair during that time. The singer-songwriter Alsina reportedly joined them on a trip to Hawaii.
Shake the world provokes with lyrics that are, to say the least, evocative of his relationship with Pinkett, and adds fuel to the fire of the controversy. The famous couple, who are facing multiple rumours, do not necessarily need it.
The extra-marital relationship between the two is however public knowledge, since the Smiths appeared on the series Red Table Talk in 2020, and spoke about it at the time (as reported by the website Cweb). Following this appearance, Alsina was reportedly dropped from the show.
