Will Smith raps 'stop the divorce rumors' in triumphant return to music career after 13 year absence

It's been 13 years since he released his last album.

But Will Smith premiered new music on Wednesday, debuting a video from inside the studio, 'Stop the divorce rumors, and mind your damn business,' he raps on the surprise track. 

Earlier it was announced that the 49-year-old multihyphenate would be performing the official 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia song.

He showed off his linguistic agility in the video as he rapped lines such as, 'Rappers make it rain, let that money hit you, if i throw my money up, s*** I probably kill a stripper.'

Big Willie Style may not have needed to cuss to sell records back in the 90s and early 2000s, but in 2018 he has decided to change up his vocabulary, as he dropped multiple curse words in the revival track.

Wearing a navy blue polo with white stripes, the Bad Boys actor interacted with others in the studio throughout the course of the three-minute clip.

The Grammy Award-winning actor, songwriter and artist said it had been a privilege to have been involved in the collaboration:

'It's an honor to be asked to perform at the 2018 FIFA World Cup,' he said.

'This global event brings people from all over the world together to cheer, laugh and experience magic.

'Collaborating with Nicky, Diplo and Era on this track represents harmony, eclectic flavours and genres coming together. At the end of the day, we just want to see the world dance.'
