After a throwback picture of the Men In Black star Will Smith and Mariah Carey resurfaces online

“Keep Mariah’s name out ff&#8230;” &#8211; Redditors Frenzy on Will Smith and Mariah Carey’s Resurfaced Picture Is Hilarious

Will Smith is one biggest actor in the industry today. Throughout his career, he
has given countless hit movies and shows. The Men In Black actor has cemented
himself as one of the greatest actors of our generation. As we all know, before
making it big in Hollywood, Smith was enjoying a successful career in the
hip-hop industry as well. On another side of the spectrum, we have another
popular individual Mariah Carey.



The Songbird Supreme is an incredibly popular musician and songwriter. The Fresh
Prince and the Queen Of Christmas go back a long way. Both started their career
simultaneously as they struggled to carve a niche out for themselves. Not long
after they met in 1988, the two became household names in the mid ’90s. And
previously, a throwback picture of the two surfaced online, and the internet
went frenzy. 


MARIAH CAREY AND WILL SMITH IN 1988

Mariah Carey and Will Smith are two very popular pop culture icons both in their
own right. Back when the industry wasn’t as welcoming for minorities and amidst
all the struggles and adversities, the two formed a strong bond that withstood
the test of time.

Their duo first met when Smith was one half of the hip-hop duo along with DJ
Jazzy Jeff, while Carey was a backup singer for Puerto Rican star Brenda K.
Starr. And after a throwback picture of Smith and Carey back in 1988 surfaced
online, the fans had a hilarious reaction to it.

While some fans started comparing Carey with Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith,
others called Carey adorable. One fan even took a hilarious jab at Smith in
reference to his Oscar slap gate

Interestingly, Carey even opened up about Smith in her memoir The Meaning of
Mariah Carey, where she spoke about her friendship with Smith and how it
started. Previously, in 2018 the All I want for Christmas is You singer even
took to Instagram
[https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn85Bc4HMZK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link] to post
an adorable picture with Smith.

It is not known whether or not the duo still maintains the same bond today.
However, it does not matter much since the two of them were there for each other
during their tough times, and that is all that matters.

What are your favorite friendships in Hollywood? Feel free to let us know in the
