The 2024 Bet Awards has formally been flipped-turned the wrong way up—all because of Will Smith.
The Recent Prince of Bel Air alum graced the stage on the award present held on the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on June 30 to carry out his new single “You Can Make It” about redemption. (And for much more highlights, check out every star in attendance here.)
Showing in a hoop of fireplace on the stage, Will rapped about enduring via tough occasions alongside The Sunday Service Choir.
“The darker the hell you gotta endure, the brighter the heaven you get to take pleasure in,” he sang. “Each storm runs out of rain, maintain on.”
Will’s efficiency—his first solo present within the wake of his 2022 Oscars slap—additionally inspired listeners to bounce of their darkest occasions.
“No one will get a simple trip. All of us have a cross to bear,” the 55-year-old rapped. “However there’s knowledge in that fireplace.”
The debut of his catchy ballad serves as his first solo track launched in more than six years—however it isn’t the primary time in current months that Will has picked his mic again up.
