I know it's a shitpost. I still had to look it up. Honestly couldn't remember when this happened.

And instead of posting the date March 27, 2022 you link the article so everyone has to click on it and make me post a wrong date in a comment to gaslight people. Or am I not?

I thought it was July 27 2022 though?

Sure, that's the correct date. You got me, no way to gaslight you. You debunked me thoroughly /s

Did the article not say that it happened June 2nd, 1998? Coulda swore that's what I read?

Sure, the meme is correct after all. It's a shitpost community so I expect well researched memes. The same can sadly not sad about the comments. They are full of lies and Miss Information

GodFUCKINGdamnit please don't remind me how easily I trust random commenters to report information.

At this point even if I click on it there's no guarantee one of you fuckers hasn't vandalised the page.

wonder how Smith's career doing, not like he needs the money if he used it wisely, but probably didn't

I’m guessing entertainers have the same problem pro athletes do: they’re very good at their trade but tend not to have great money management skills.

I remember a story where he put millions into a mansion over several years and when it was done he wanted to change it.

I'm sure he's made bank over the years but also sure he's blown a lot of it.

I assume all that money went into decorating the entire interior of the mansion like this.

Screenshot of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince in front of the hip-hop background which was their visual signature at the time, bright white walls and floors with colorful but family-friendly 1990s graffiti spray-painted all over every surface

He put out another Bad Boys sequel last year. I'm pretty sure he's doing aight financially. If not, he's a moron and it's funny because it's always funny when rich people go broke.

The title did more on me than the shitpost image

Big up Chris Rock for keeping composure and reacting well.

He's done a whole documentary on black women's hair, he really shouldn't have made the joke he did, everyone kinda sucks here, lol.

I was so shocked that I accidentally refused Eddie Quicksilver's demand for a 30 foot inflatable hamster and he quit the band!
