After a two-year hiatus from awards show stages, Will Smith returned triumphantly at the 2024 BET Awards in Los Angeles. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air star performed his new track 'You Can Make It' live, featuring Fridayy and Kanye West’s Sunday Service Choir. Smith's emotional performance, introduced by Taraji P Henson, provided a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. Embracing the wisdom gained from life's challenges, Smith encouraged the audience to find opportunities for growth in every moment. Joined by the choir and gospel artist Kirk Franklin, Smith's performance marked a powerful moment of redemption and renewal. This performance followed the release of his new single from his upcoming album, Dance in Your Darkest Moments, continuing his musical legacy after nearly two decades. Smith's surprise appearance at Coachella earlier in the year further solidified his enduring impact in the entertainment industry.
