*Will Smith recently appeared on TIDAL’s Rap Radar podcast, where he talked about his 20-year marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith and of course, his sex life.
Because Will and Jada have been inviting us into their bedroom for two decades… you might be wondering, what’s left for either of them to say on the subject?
Well, Willy kinda breaks it down even further on the track “The Mountaintop” from off his upcoming album.
“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 says. “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.”
The intimate interview also had Smith addressing his “nice guy” image in Hollywood.

“I haven’t maintained my authenticity per se,” Smith states. “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.”

You may recall when Smith actually did slap someone at the 2012 Moscow premiere of “Men in Black 3,” when Hollywood prankster Vitalii Sediuk attempted to kiss him on the lips. Smith recalls how JAY-Z called him after the incident.
“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 sounds winded,” Smith continues with a laugh. “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 canceling it and just staying in and watching you slap this dude.’”
However, Smith does admit that he’s been bothered with criticism that he’s “soft,” specifically when it comes to his music.
“That was a difficult time coming up. … It was always difficult [to hear] people say I was soft and my music was cotton candy,” he acknowledges. “I always wanted to fight to prove myself. Fighting yourself to maintain positivity is the hardest fight you ever gon’ have. That struggle to just stay my course, be the person in the world that I wanted to be no matter what people said. I started to call it offensive positivity.”
Will also recalls Kanye and Kim Kardashian’s reaction to his son, Jaden, wearing a Batman costume to their 2014 wedding.
“Ye was cool. ‘Yo, I love that!’” he says of West’s reaction. “Kim was a little bit like, ‘Jaden…’”
Smith previously addressed the persistent divorce rumors surrounding his and Jada’s marriage in a preview of his upcoming music.
