Twice, the actor met an A-list musician hours before they died.
Will Smith is sharing one of the strangest and most chilling personal facts of his life.
The Oscar winner revealed during a “Broken Record Podcast” interview released Tuesday that he was fortunate enough to meet the Notorious B.I.G. and speak with Prince when they were still alive — but both artists died hours later.
When podcast host Justin Richmond asked about the rumor, the actor hesitated to share.
“Let me tell you,” said Smith. “I don’t even want to say this out loud, ’cause it’s like, a terrible jinx. I met Biggie four hours before he got killed. And I talked to Prince eight hours before he died.
“I talked to Prince and, he called and he was pitching. He was saying me, him and Jay-Z should start an entertainment company,” he continued. “And he said he had talked to Jay and he wanted to do it. We talked that night, and in the morning, he was gone. I don’t know what that says about me.”
