Viewers slam Will Smith for ‘inappropriate’ act with singer India Martinez onstage at awards show

Viewers are slamming Will Smith for an ‘inappropriate’ act with singer India Martínez onstage.

The pair were performing their song ‘First Love’ with Marcin at the Premio Lo Nuestro awards on 20 February in Miami as they got pretty up close and personal.

While Will has been married to Jada Pinkett Smith for over 27 years, she revealed in 2023 that the pair have actually been separated since 2016.

The star said it isn’t ‘a divorce on paper’ and remain married but are in more of a ‘partnership’.

But fans still think it’s ‘inappropriate’ for how flirty his performance was with Martínez at the Spanish-language awards show which honours Latin music.

Will danced up close to the star for the romantic song, in an appearance that really had the energy of a noughties R&B performance of a singer and rapper teaming up.

And it’s probably important to remember, it was a performance, and in that sense, a performance featuring an actor.

The Fresh Prince star seemed to be in his element with the Spanish singer who, at one point, kept singing into the mic as she placed her hand on the back of his head, pulling his face in close to hers.

Some viewers reckon the pair kissed at this point, but it does seem like Martínez was still singing, so it would have had to be a very, very quick peck.

Fans said he was ‘living life’ and they ‘love to see it’ as one commented: “Go ahead Will live your life bro!”

And in one backstage snap, the singer seemed to have jumped into Will’s arms, wrapping her legs around his waist as he hugged her back and smiled.

But this didn’t sit right with everyone, as some fans said it was ‘inappropriate’ and said he’s ‘the worst’.

However, one pointed out: “This man is an actor and has kissed plenty of women who is [sic] not his wife, he is a paid entertainer this is legit his job.”

Plenty defended the allegation they 'kissed' too, as they said: "If you actually look. You can tell the attempt was a joke. They never actually kissed. The 2nd attempt when she came back still no kiss he leaned his forehead down as to get their lips further apart and backed away."

While others joked: "We Don’t Talk About Jada - We just Watch Will’s Newest Entanglement Live!!"

LADbible has contacted Will’s reps for comment.
