Welcome (back) to Miami, Will Smith!

The Oscar winner who famously rapped about the Magic City way back when was spotted on Thursday doing a bit of Baseling.

The Fresh Prince “was in a great mood,” we were told as he walked the around the Miami Beach Convention Center with a curator and a large group that did not include his — we think, estranged — wife Jada Pinkett. According to The Daily Mail, there was a bald-ish woman in the crew who greatly resembled the actress.

All that culture apparently worked up Smith’s appetite. The “I Am Legend: 2” star (yes, there’s a sequel coming) was later seen walking into celebrity magnet pizzeria Lucali on Bay Road, a fave of fellow rapper Jay-Z. But no, unfortunately, Smith did not sing for his supper.

Next up for him? Another “Bad Boys” movie, which was last filmed in the Magic City in 2019, so it’s possible he was here scouting locations for No. 4. That one is set to come out in June 2024, and we are here for it.
