Will Smith continues to try to repair his career after the scandal at the Oscars gala 2022, when he stormed onto the stage and gave comedian Chris Rock a slap.

The album "Based on a true story" is coming on March 28, he announces on Instagram.

Will Smith had a successful music career in the second half of the 90s with songs like "Gettin' jiggy with it" and "Miami". The latest album "Lost and found" came in 2005.
