Will Smith performs new “You Can Make It” single at BET Awards
In a stunning and heartfelt performance at the BET Awards, Will Smith took to the stage to debut a new gospel song, “You Can Make It,” alongside the renowned Sunday Service Choir and Kirk Franklin. The unexpected appearance of Smith in the gospel genre comes as a refreshing surprise to fans, marking a significant pivot from his iconic status as an actor and rapper.
Released just a day before the awards ceremony, “You Can Make It” quickly captivated audiences with its uplifting lyrics and powerful vocals, cementing its place as a standout in Smith’s musical repertoire. The collaboration with Sunday Service Choir, known for their association with Kanye West’s Sunday Service gatherings, added a transcendent quality to the performance, resonating deeply with the audience at Crypto.com Arena.
Smith’s foray into gospel music follows closely on the heels of the recent success of “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die,” the latest installment in the beloved “Bad Boys” film series co-starring Martin Lawrence. The film, which saw its fourth installment released to critical acclaim earlier this month, solidified Smith’s status as a box office powerhouse.
Beyond its musical and cinematic accomplishments, “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die” featured cameos from industry heavyweights including DJ Khaled and Tiffany Haddish, further elevating its cultural impact and box office appeal. The synergy between Smith’s musical and acting careers has never been more evident, showcasing his versatility and enduring popularity.
