Will Smith is back in the spotlight—this time, for his intimate on-stage performance with singer India Martinez at the Premio Lo Nuestro award show in Miami on February 20. Their steamy duet of First Love had fans talking, especially given Smith’s complicated relationship with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Flirty Performance Raises Eyebrows
During the performance, Smith and Martinez got extremely close, almost sharing a kiss. At one point, the Spanish singer placed her hand on the back of Smith’s head, pulling his face near hers. The chemistry didn’t stop there—Smith also put his hand on Martinez’s lower back, fully embracing the early 2000s R&B vibe.
Behind-the-scenes footage showed an even more playful moment, with Martinez jumping into Smith’s arms and wrapping her legs around him. Naturally, fans had a lot to say.
Fans Divided: Was It Too Much?
While some found the performance entertaining, others thought it was inappropriate given Smith’s marriage situation—whether open or not.
🔹 “This is the worst.”
🔹 “Inappropriate, even if it’s just entertainment.”
🔹 “Will plays too much.”
One fan even compared it to a dad doing karaoke with a tipsy local woman!
Others Defend Will Smith
Not everyone was against him. Some reminded critics that Smith is an actor and performer, and kissing co-stars is part of his job.
🔹 “He never actually kissed her. Watch closely, it was a joke.”
🔹 “He deserves unlimited hall passes after everything Jada put him through.”
🔹 “Let this man live! He’s been through enough.”
Will and Jada’s Complicated Relationship
The controversy comes after years of drama in Smith’s marriage. In 2020, Jada publicly admitted to having an “entanglement” with singer August Alsina, a friend of their son, Jaden Smith. She later revealed that she and Will had been secretly separated since 2016.
Despite everything, the couple remains legally married, though Jada says they are “leading their own lives” while still working on their bond. A People report recently confirmed that while they haven’t completely cut ties, they are no longer living together.
Final Thoughts
Smith’s performance with Martinez has only added fuel to the ongoing discussions about his personal life. Was it just harmless entertainment, or was it inappropriate?
Regardless, one thing is clear—Will Smith’s life, both on and off stage, continues to grab attention. What do you think? Was it all in good fun, or did he cross the line?
