Will Smith performed a new song at the BET Awards in Los Angeles. The song is titled "You Can Make It," and focuses on faith and perseverance. This is Smith's first solo song release in over five years and first major music release since his 2005 album, "Lost and Found." The performance marks Smith's return to the stage after his famous appearance at the Oscars, where he slapped his co-presenter Chris Rock after he made fun of Smith's wife Jada. Smith performed in a fiery pit and was joined by rapper Kirk Franklin, Chandler Moore, and a group of dancers. Smith ended his performance with an encouraging message to the audience, telling them that there is wisdom in the fire and that every moment of their lives is a new opportunity to succeed. In a recent post, Smith shared that music has always been there to lift him up during his darkest moments and he hopes his music can do the same for others. In other news, Smith is set to star in a new sci-fi film titled "Resistor," based on the bestselling novel "Influx" by Daniel Suarez. Smith has been working on the project for years with producer Todd Black and a team of others from Escape Artists.
