Will revealed a haunting detail about his connection to two music icons, sharing that he spoke with both Prince and The Notorious B.I.G. just hours before their untimely deaths.
The 56-year-old actor and musician opened up on the Broken Record Podcast, recalling two separate moments that left him shaken. He first recounted meeting Biggie Smalls just four hours before the rapper was killed in a 1997 drive-by shooting. Nearly two decades later, he spoke with Prince eight hours before the legendary musician passed away in 2016. Prince’s final conversation with Smith wasn’t just casual chatter—it was about business. The “Purple Rain” icon had reached out to propose an ambitious partnership involving Smith, Jay-Z, and himself.
