Will Smith Reveals “Terrified” Feeling W/ Hip-Hop Comeback: “Fear Is The Killer Of Creativity” [Video]

Hollywood actor Will Smith has come forward to speak out on making a strong return to music-making with the release of his new “Fiesta” remix.

Talking to radio personality Zane Lowe, Smith admitted he is slowly feeling his way back into creating new records.

“Terrified and it’s crazy because when you’ve had a certain amount of success, it seems like you should breed confidence,” Smith explained when asked about putting together his newly released “Fiesta” remix. “But it actually doesn’t. It’s the craziest thing. It’s like when you win a lot, you lose the ability to lose. You’re not allowed to lose anymore. You actually lose the ability to create because the reckless abandon, and that’s something I’m getting back from watching my kids, they really don’t care. That kind of reckless abandon and that lack of fear and not trying to protect anything, not trying to live up to a legacy, that freedom. Fear is the killer of creativity.” (Beats 1)

Big Will’s unexpected audio gem premiered online last Friday (October 2).

“When I was told that Will Smith wanted to collaborate on a remix with Bomba, I couldn’t believe it,” founder of the Columbian band Simon Mejia said in a statement. “This opportunity to work with Will was beyond anything we have dreamed of. … It’s just magic.” (Entertainment Weekly)

In August, Smith teamed up with Young Money’s Drake at his OVO Fest.

Sports Illustrated‘s Fansided reports that Will Smith showed up at OVO fest, and asks, “The real question is why did Philadelphia native Will Smith turn his back on fellow Philly resident Meek Mill. Was he oblivious to the beef going on at the moment and didn’t realize he was being used as a pawn by Drake?” (Radio)

Back in February, Will hinted at new music coming together with hip-hop stud Kanye West.

The 46-year-old actor has been in the studio with Kanye West and has even been taking tips from his 16-year-old son Jaden. His last solo album was Lost And Found in 2005. “I went into the studio with Kanye. I’m thinking about it. I’m exploring,” he said at a special screening of his new film, Focus, in London.
