Will Smith’s Security Confronts Intruder:

Last week, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department responded not once, but twice, to reports of a suspicious dude creepin’ around Will Smith’s gate. It seems the intruder was even asking for someone who didn’t live at Will’s property. Upon the first encounter, Will’s vigilant security team demanded that the man leave, and he complied, disappearing before the authorities arrived.

However, the lurker didn’t give up that easily. He managed to gain access to the grounds a short while later. Luckily, Will’s security acted swiftly, detaining the intruder before he could reach the house. The authorities promptly arrested the 37-year-old suspect, Robert Ogden, on a misdemeanor charge. Officers believed he posed a continuing threat and refused to release him without bail until he had faced a judge.

Not Home at the Time:

Thankfully, Will Smith was not present at the time of this alleged incident. However, it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time the Smith family has encountered unwanted visitors. Back in February 2024, Jada Pinkett-Smith had her own terrifying experience when two individuals reportedly climbed onto her balcony. Jada allegedly scared off the intruders when she came face to face with them as they were supposedly attempting to climb her balcony.

Separate Lives but Shared Security:

Interestingly, Will and Jada live apart, which became public knowledge when Jada revealed that they had actually separated nearly a decade ago. The recent security breaches at their respective homes have raised concerns about the safety of both Hollywood stars. While it’s unclear whether these incidents are connected, it’s undoubtedly a cause for their security teams to be on heightened alert.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are known not only for their acting prowess and marriage drama, but also for their philanthropic efforts through the Will And Jada Smith Family Foundation. However, recent events have led to the unexpected decision to shut down the foundation for good.

It all started with the infamous slap Will Smith gave to Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. The incident caused a serious dent in Will’s image, leading to a decline in high-profile contributors who had previously supported the foundation. Tax records reveal a significant drop in the foundation’s revenue, from $2,138,660 in 2021 to just $365,870 in 2022, representing an 83% year-over-year decrease.

Contributors such as American Airlines and CAA, who had donated crazy amounts in the past, also distanced themselves from the foundation. The departure of these influential donors further contributed to the decline in revenue.

Sources close to the foundation confirmed that Will and Jada had already decided to wind down the organization before the Oscars incident. They now intend to focus on charitable causes privately, ensuring the same level of financial support while avoiding public scrutiny.

Despite the decline in revenue, the Will And Jada Smith Family Foundation made notable contributions to various organizations in 2022. They donated $100,000 to the American Film Institute and $2,500 to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Additionally, smaller organizations such as Rebecoming and World Rebirth Foundation received financial support.

Rebecoming, an organization dedicated to understanding non-ordinary states of consciousness for trauma release, and World Rebirth Foundation, focused on helping those in need with life and job skills, were among the recipients. However, reaching out to these organizations proved challenging, as their websites and contact details were outdated or unresponsive.

The foundation’s financial struggles also included significant expenses, like office equipment and computers. Notably, they incurred a staggering $3,304 in bank overdraft fees.

Despite the closure of their foundation, Will Smith continues to command significant paydays in Hollywood. It is reported that he is set to earn $25 million for both the upcoming sequel “Bad Boys 4” and Netflix’s “Fast and Loose.”

The decision to shut down the Will And Jada Smith Family Foundation was undoubtedly a difficult one. However, it demonstrates the challenges faced by even the most prominent celebrities when their philanthropic efforts are overshadowed by controversy.

As Will and Jada transition to more private philanthropy, only time will tell how their charitable endeavors will continue to make a difference in the world.

As far as their marriage drama goes…well, it seems to be an up-and-down scenario for them thus far. Though, Jada did recently hint that they may be headed toward a reconciliation, after she revealed they’d been living separate lives, in separate homes and whatnot. On the flip side, Will has remained silent on their current situation. At any rate, wishing them the best with their foundation endeavors going forward.

In yet another Jada Pinkett-Smith and Tupac revelation that kinda surprised many fans, it’s been revealed that Jada reportedly turned down a role in the 1995 film, “Dead Presidents,” due to her close friendship with the late rap legend.

Larenz Tate – who, as y’all know, starred in the movie – shared details about Jada’s decision in an interview with HipHollywood.

Larenz Tate Revealed This Information

Larenz explained that during a conversation on the set of their film, “Girls Trip,” in New Orleans, he brought up the topic of Jada turning down the role. “We’re on set in New Orleans talking about that experience,” Larenz explained. “I said, ‘I talked to the Hughes brothers and you were supposed to be in the movie.’ And she says ‘I was.’ She was like, ‘I couldn’t do it because, at the time, I was really close with 2Pac and 2Pac had this beef with the Hughes brothers.’”

At the time, Tupac had ongoing issues with the Hughes brothers, who directed “Dead Presidents.” Jada’s loyalty to her quote unquote friend made it difficult for her to work with the directors. The feud between ‘Pac and the Hughes brothers started during the filming of “Menace II Society” and escalated to a straight up fist-fight, according to “Menace II Society’s” star, Tyrin Turner, who confirmed that fun-fact in an interview on Vlad TV.

And it’s no secret that Jada and Tupac shared a deep bond. Even after his untimely death, their friendship remained intact. Jada’s decision to prioritize her loyalty to Tupac over her acting career shows just how bonded their supposedly non-intimate friendship really was.

Question

Despite the missed opportunity to appear in a ’90s classic, Jada’s choice reflects the values she held dear and the lengths she was willing to go to support ‘Pac. Now, here’s the ever-growing question that seems to have taken on a life of it’s own in these social media streets: I Love Old School Music fam do y’all think Jayda and Tupac, whom Jayda has now referred to as her soulmate that she claims to never have been intimate with –but I digress– were just friends? Or do you think they had a thing goin’ on like Billy Paul sang about in his “Me and Mrs. Jones” classic? Just curious.

For more information, watch the full interview with Larenz Tate on HipHollywood’s YouTube channel.

It’s been since March of this year (20222), that we’ve all last heard a peep out of Will Smith, who’s typically known for his positive, upbeat personality. However, this time…the man is clearly emotional, somber, and remorseful. Will has resurfaced in an emotional video message to his fans, which he shared online Friday morning.

In his video message he admits that he is “deeply remorseful” for slapping the bejeezus outta Chris Rock at Oscars 2022 a few months back.

Will’s video first starts off with words on the screen that read, “It’s been a minute. Over the last few months, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and personal work…,” the statement continued. “You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer.”

He can then be heard sighing, before stepping onto the screen to address why he did not apologize directly to Chris Rock shortly after slapping, as Will was accepting his ‘best actor’ award for his “King Richard Role.”

“I was fogged out by that point,” Smith confessed. “It’s all fuzzy. I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out. So I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you are ready to talk.”

Will then went on to apologize to Chris’s mother and brother/comedic actor, Tony Rock — whom Will had a great friendship with. Though, he has now admitted that his friendship with Tony is likely a done dada:

“We had a great relationship,” Smith says. “Tony Rock was my man and this is probably irreparable.”

FYI: Tony Rock and Will go way back… Tony starred on the Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith produced 2007 sitcom, “All of Us.”

As y’all already know, Chris and Will go far back as well…except their relationship has been filled with crazy tension throughout the years. Chris had reportedly said some foul things about Will and Jada in the past; and Jada once seemingly stirred up beef with Chris in the past (i.e. the time Jada called out Chris Rock for hosting the Oscar Awards a few years ago, when #OscarsSoWhite was trending on social media, over the organization’s lack of inclusion).

Will also addressed the question of whether Jada — who suufers from alopecia — asked him to do something after Chris cracked his “G.I. Jane” joke about her shaved head at the Oscars. Will said that she did not.

Will confessed that he’s “spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuance and the complexities of what happened in that moment. … I’m not going to try to unpack all of that right now, but I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment,” he says. “There’s no part of me that thinks that is the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.”

Smith then ended his video with a very transparent and profound message:

“Disappointing people is my central trauma,” he says.” I hate when I let people down so it hurts.” And to his supporters, Will stated “to putting light and love and joy into the world. … If you hang on I promise we’ll be able to be friends again,” he concluded.

Listen, we’re all human, and most of us have at least one moment in our lives where we’ve looked back on it and realized, ‘Damn…I shouldn’t have done that…it was stupid.’ Only difference is we didn’t have millions of eyes watching us screw up in real time. Therefore, I commend Will for being man enough to publicly acknowledge that moment for him, that is not easy. And I most definitely commend Chris Rock for being man enough to maintain his composure in that now-infamous Oscars-slap-moment.

Hopefully, in the future (hopefully the near future), we’ll see Will and Chris unite to work on a project together or something…now THAT would be one of the biggest moments in Hollywood…hands down.

The post Will Smith Finally Resurfaces In Deeply Apologetic Video, Months After ‘The Slap’ appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Although Will Smith has been laying low ever since that infamous ‘slap‘…claims about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, have been on full blast. This go ’round, an interview has resurfaced, in which former Death Row’s Tha Dogg Pond rapper, Dazz Dillinger, claimed then-22-year-old Jada was allegedly messin’ around with rapper, Chris Kelly (one half of Kriss Kross) when he supposedly was not of legal age back in the day.

Dazz Dillinger’s Claims

Shortly after August Alsina outed Jada over her prior years-long “entanglement” with him during her marriage to Will Smith, Dazz Dillinger added his two cents. During a video interview (below), the rap legend shared what he says he witnessed back in the day between Jada and now-deceased Kriss Kross rapper, Chris Kelly (pictured below, left).

Daz described the close-knit big brother/little bro’ type of friendship he and several other Death Row affiliates had with the So So Def rap group, Kriss Kross, at that time. So much so, that is how Daz says he supposedly found out that Jada was allegedly “entanglin” with teenaged-Chris Kelly at that time:

“[Jada] was entangling with Chris Kelly from motherfu**in’ Kriss Kross,” said Daz. “Kriss Kross was in the room and [Chris] was like, ‘Jada Pinkett is at the door but don’t leave! Take this weed, chill.’ We were like, ‘Damn, he gave us an ounce of weed! We gon’ kick it right here.’ Then he came back in and said, ‘Yeah, that was Jada Pinkett.’ I’m like, damn, that ni&&a was fu**ing Jada Pinkett at a young age. 1993, around that way. She was entanglin’ then! Shout out to Jada.”

It didn’t take long for fans to figure out that Jada was a grown woman and Chris Kelly was still a teen in 1993. Although Daz didn’t elaborate on their ages, he never denied it…and as far as we know, neither has Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Like we mentioned earlier…this is all alleged, so take it this info with a grain of salt. Though, it is also worth noting that so far, many of the claims Daz has publicly made about other celebs have turned out to be valid. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Where Is Will Smith?

On a side note, inquiring minds wanna know…where in the hell is Will Smith? The brotha’s been duckin’ the media and fans ever since he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. We loved his energy and life lessons he’s become known for sharing on social media in recent years. But he hasn’t posted anything on his pages ever since that infamous Oscars night with his wife, Jada, by his side back in March 2022. It’s about time for Will to resurface again. Don’t y’all think? I mean…he’s gonna have to face the music at some point, just sayin.’

Uh-oh ILOSM fam,’ Vivica Foxx is about to “set it OFF” across these social media streets, with her latest statements regarding her former co-star’s ‘self-righteousness.’

In a recent episode of “The Wendy Williams Show”  (video below) — which Vivica Foxx was guest-co-hosting — the “Set It Off” legend let it be known how she really feels about the now-infamous Will-Smith-Chris-Rock-Oscars-Awards slap. She also had a few things to get off her chest about how Jada’s currently handling the situation.

As y’all already know, during Oscars 2022 Will Smith slapped the hell outta Chris Rock, after Chris made a joke about Jada lookin’ like “G.I. Jane.” Apparently, Rock tapped a nerve in Will that had seemingly been brewing for quite some time. It was even more painful because Jada has alopecia, which Chris Rock said he wasn’t aware of at the time.

So, does Vivica Foxx have a good point about Jada’s accountability, or lack thereof? Let us know how you feel about this HERE.

The post Vivica Foxx Calls Out Jada Pinkett’s “Self-Righteous” Views Of Will-Smith-Chris-Rock Slap appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Jada Pinkett-Smith has always been outspoken; quick to share her honest opinion on compelling topics she’s passionate about. So, when she had the opportunity to meet to Eazy-E, she had no reservations about voicing her disapproval of the NWA legend’s misogynistic lyrics. Months ago (pre-Will-Smith-Chris-Rock-slap era), Jada took to Instagram with a rare clip of the time she had the opportunity to confront Eazy. Of course, the then-upcoming actress had her guards up, but she was quite surprised to meet a man who was totally different from what she expected.

Meeting Eazy:

According to Essence magazine, Jada got straight down to business when she had a chance to talk to Eazy. “This is the day I met Eazy! We became the best of friends after this program,” Jada wrote. In the clip, she revealed how she’d planned to give Eazy a piece of her mind and explain why she couldn’t listen to his music. As a woman, Jada was brutally honest with Eazy admitting that she was highly offended by the rapper’s controversial lyrics. She even went a step further advising him of how he could positively use his platform to uplift women. “He, owning his own record company, can make a change within his community to uplift us,” a young Pinkett Smith continued. “When I listen to his music I want to feel good about myself, I want to feel good about my people, and I said ‘Eric, you have the power to do that.”

Watch The Video:

With the Instagram post, Jada admitted that encounter with Eazy actually changed everything. After speaking with him, she discovered there was much more to Eazy than what appeared on the surface. “I told him that before I met him today I would have thought he was a woman hater because of his music that he writes.”

Eazy’s Response:

When the talk show host asked Eazy if he was willing to take Jada’s advice, he seemed to agree with her to a certain extent. “Eric, are you going to do that? Will this change? Does this change the way you think about the music and the way you write?” the talk show host asked. Eazy-E responded, “Yes. To a certain point.” The host continued, “You got now, a young sista here in your face, in your face who is saying I wanna see a change. I want to know what you can do about it?” Making an effort to defend himself, Eazy said, “I do say nice things about sistas.”

Not one to back down, Jada chimed in again. “To me!!” she said in reference to his statement about saying “nice things.” She continued, “But you got a song on the record, me being a young sista, I told Eric, ‘I cannot listen to your music and feel good about myself, now come on.”’

NWA’s Impact On Rap:

Back in the day, NWA quickly rose to fame with their unique brand of hip-hop. Unlike other rap groups who rapped about parties, dancin’, clothes, sneakers, and crushin’ on girls, NWA had a different approach to the rap game focusing on the harsh realities of life in the hood, police brutality, race relations, and other controversial topics. But they didn’t stop there.

When it came to rapping about women, the guys had highly explicit references to women, and their lyrics led to heightened criticism. NWA opened the door for rappers with similar, explicit lyrical content. Although they sold millions of records, that didn’t stop the criticism. Like Jada Pinkett-Smith, lots of women weren’t pleased at all. Props to the then-up-and-coming-actress, Jada, for speakin’ her mind. Now…if Jada would only be as forthcoming about what really went down before, during and after her hubby’s now-infamous ‘slap’ a.k.a. the Will-Smith-Chris-Rock-smackdown. Pretty sure there’s much share…just sayin.’ 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sometimes I Love Old School Music family…this stuff just writes itself. Now, in case you’re like many of us and slept through the otherwise boring Oscars Awards, and are just hoppin’ online, you’ve likely heard by now that Will Smith smacked the $#!* outta Chris Rock on national television. For a hot second, it damn near looked like it was a WWE event. And now, Will Smith’s sister’s got something to say about it (scroll down for her response).

But First, Here’s A Quick Recap

So, last night Chris Rock hosted the Oscars and did what Chris Rock does…be a comedian who scales the controversial line of hilarious and hilariously-cringeworthy jokes. The latter is what he applied to Will’s wife, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, and her new closely cut hairdo, which is pretty dope by the way.

Long story short…Chris threw shade at Jada, by jokingly telling her he couldn’t wait to see ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ which doesn’t exist. As y’all know, “GI Jane” was a film that featured Demi Moore with a shaved head. The crowd was stunned, and initially Will tried to do what he normally does in public — take the high road and laugh it off — but that all changed in a matter of about 2 seconds. Once Will saw that Jada was not laughing at all, he got hella pissed and could no longer contain himself. Will rushed the stage, and to the surprise of everyone, smacked Chris Rock as hard with an open hand…which in my opinion is worse than just punching him. A man smacking another man in the face is a sign that he’s not necessarily trying to break his jaw, he’s trying to break his spirit.

As the crowd loudly gasped, Will walked back to his seat near Jada and yelled twice, “Keep my wife’s name out your fu**ing mouth!” Chris Rock took the slap like a G…meaning he didn’t fall down, but he did have to catch himself from doing so. Rock was clearly stunned and pissed, stating “Will Smith just slapped the sh*t outta me!”

Jada has spoken out in recent years, about her struggles with alopecia, which is what ultimately prompted her to rock a shaved ‘do. With it being such a personally sensitive matter for Jada, Will clearly felt that Chris crossed the line. FYI: Chris Rock’s beef with the Smiths goes back to 2016, when Jada initiated a call to boycott the Oscars, after Will Smith was not nominated, and called out Chris Rock for hosting it that year.

Anywho, during commercial break, Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry pulled Will to the side of the stage and gave him a pep talk.

Minutes later, Will accepted the award for ‘Best Actor’ (for the “King Richard” biopic) with tears streaming down his face, stating that just like Richard Williams — Serena and Venus Williams’ dad, whom Will portrayed in “King Richard” — he, too, is a “fierce defender of his family.” Will also said that Denzel told him minutes earlier, “At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.”

Will Smith’s Sister Speaks Out

Will Smith’s siblings pretty much stay behind the scenes, but they’re extremely close to Will, and are always ridin’ for him. His sister, Ellen, is pretty outspoken (like the time she seemingly shaded Jada online after news surfaced of Jada’s affair with singer, August Alsina), though she tries to practice restraint when speaking publicly about her big bro, Will. However, we knew it was only a matter of time before she at least said something to show her support for Will amid this smackdown fiasco. In a brief online post, Ellen shared a photo of Will holding his new Oscar Award and captioned it with the following message:

“God does not play about HIS children. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Congratulations Bro bro. Your hard work paid off a long time ago. You’ve been a champion, winner and a huge success on several different levels. It’s your turn. It’s your time. You deserve it. #salute #king #kingrichard 🙏🏿🙏🏿🏆🏆🏆” – Ellen Smith

Will’s Mom & Loved Ones Celebrated Him From Home

During his acceptance speech, Will mentioned that his mom opted to stay home with her knitting group and host an Oscar’s watch party instead. Above is a photo of his mom, Caroline Bright; sister, Ellen; and loved ones dressed up as Mrs. Caroline and the group watched  her baby smack Chris Rock and earn his Oscar Award from home. Alls well, that ends well.

As we all know, Will Smith once played boxing icon, Muhammad Ali…but little did we know, the brotha damn near had an Ali-George Forman “Rumble In The Jungle” moment behind the scenes with “In Living Color,” veteran, Tommy Davidson. According to Tommy, the fiasco was over Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. It went down in 1998, as Tommy and Jada were in the midst of filming their movie, “Woo.”

What Had Happened Was…

In his memoir, “Living In Color,” Tommy Davidson revealed that he and Jada Pinkett-Smith formed a very close platonic bond during filming, and would oftentimes have several heartfelt personal talks on set. However, the near-fight with Will was supposedly sparked over something else altogether different…a on-set kiss.

Tommy wrote that he didn’t like the original ending for “Woo,” and the film’s producers agreed.  So, he called a phone meeting with Jada and the producers to discuss his idea for an alternative ending instead: to have his and Jada’s characters dance as the film credits rolled. Everyone liked Tommy’s ending better than the original, and agreed to go forward with his plan.

Though Tommy had previously discussed the kiss he felt his character should do with Jada’s during the dancing scene, he says he failed to mention it to Jada during the phone call:

“I didn’t know this: You have to rehearse a kiss,” Tommy Davidson writes. “You can’t just spring it on your costar … And I didn’t think it was all that big of a deal.”

Nevertheless, Tommy Davidson still felt comfortable enough with Jada to lean in for the kiss as they were filming the closing scene in “Woo.” He says as soon as he went for it, he can sense Jada flinching, likely because the kiss caught her off guard.

Needless to say that soon after the scene was wrapped, the kiss didn’t go over so well with Jada’s hubby, Will Smith – who was her fiancé at that time. According to Tommy, Will barged into his trailer and said, “I didn’t appreciate that.” Tommy says he responded by further provoking Will, seemingly in retaliation for Will steppin’ to him like that inside his trailer…things only got more heated from there:

“Will went all gangsta on me, saying what I did was not cool,” Davidson wrote. “There was a moment there when we might have come to blows. My reactive fight-or-flight instinct was triggered and I could have exploded.”

They’re In A Better Space Today

Thankfully, Tommy and Will’s potential “Rumble In The Jungle” brawl didn’t fully cross that line because Jada broke it up. Tommy wrote that Jada followed Will in hot pursuit as he was headed to Tommy’s trailer because she obviously sensed something was about to pop off. Sure enough Jada’s instincts were right, and she was able to step in to get Will and Tommy to calm down.

The great news is that Tommy Davidson says to this day, whenever he sees Will and Jada everything is super cool between them and neither he nor will hold ill feelings toward each other. On a side note, Tommy even took the time to credit Jada’s mom, Adrienne Banfield-Jones – a recovered drug addict – with helping him to kick his past drug habit years ago.

Gotta luv a happy ending right? Especially one that doesn’t involve “entanglement”…just sayin.’

The post Tommy Davidson Said He And Will Smith Almost Came To Blows Over Jada Pinkett-Smith appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Jada Pinkett-Smith has been sitting on a bombshell of a revelation all these years and has just revealed for the first time ever, what that is. Turns out, our girl, Jada, isn’t as ‘wholesome’ as many of us probably think she is- intelligent, talented, and beautiful, yes…but not entirely ‘wholesome.’

It’s no secret that she and ‘Pac were closer than close back in the day, although she says they were ‘just friends’ (with the exception of that one reported kiss). The thing that has us trippin,’ here at ILOSM, is what Jada revealed during her prior interview on “Sway in the Morning” satellite radio show.

She Was A WHAT?!!

Jada was on the show to promote the then-upcoming movie, Girls Trip. When asked about her relationship with Tupac, she started off by saying, “I haven’t been completely honest.” Then she proceeded to explain that she won’t reveal the whole story because she’s writing a book about her time with ‘Pac, but she did reveal one major fact: Jada was a drug dealer during the time that she and ‘Pac were homies and no, it was NOT Tupac’s doing. Jada was already in the drug game by the time she and ‘Pac became cool.

See what else she said in the video clip below:

“It’s kinda hard because I haven’t really told the whole story. […] When I first met ‘Pac…I was a drug dealer. […] As I was coming out of the life, he was going more into the life.”

Well ain’t that blip?!! Who would’ve ever thought Jada Pinkett-Smith- the talented actress, devoted wife to the legendary Will Smith, dedicated mother to Willow and Jaden, the generous philanthropist- was hustlin’ on the blocks of Baltimore, MD back in the day.

Now, we all know that Jada’s and Will’s marriage has had few bumps in the road, with Will even publicly admitting (on The Breakfast Club a few years ago) that he was jealous of Jada’s and Tupac’s ‘friendship’ back in the day. However, it’s still beautiful to see the 180 degree turn she’s taken in her life, and it’s equally as inspiring to millions of people. Can’t wait to read that book. And by the way, Will Smith is abut to drop his tell-all memoir about their marriage soon too…and it sounds like it’s gonna be hella interesting.
