Will Smith Says He Spoke to Prince & The Notorious B.I.G. Hours Before They Died

The entertainer revealed that Prince had called him with a business idea involving another legend and that he met Biggie the day he died.

During a sit-down with the Broken Record podcast with co-host Justin Richmond, the entertainer revealed that he talked to The Notorious B.I.G. and Prince before their untimely deaths, with his run-in with Biggie being the first time he and the Brooklyn rapper crossed paths, and it was on the night he died of gunshot wounds after a drive-by shooting in L.A. He then added, “The Biggie one made me cry, ’cause it was like stupid and it was like just centered on hip-hop — for rapping,” Smith said of the reason Big was killed.
