Will Smith FINALLY Speaks On Gay Affair With Duane Martin

The situation took a dramatic turn when Brother Bilaal, a former assistant and friend of Will Smith, made startling claims in an interview. Bilaal alleged that he personally witnessed Smith and Martin in a compromising position, which he interpreted as more than just a friendly relationship.

This statement has reignited the rumors and speculation about the nature of Smith and Martin’s relationship. The allegations by Brother Bilaal are not the first instance where the nature of Smith and Martin’s relationship has been questioned.

During the 2016 Chapter 7 bankruptcy of Duane Martin and his wife Tisha Campbell-Martin, a trustee overseeing the case hinted at a close relationship between Smith and Martin. The trustee pointed out that Duane’s personal laptop contained photos and videos, which he wanted to keep private, depicting an unusually close bond between the two men.

Additionally, the trustee suggested that Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, might have helped the Martins protect their home and other assets during their financial crisis.

The Will Smith And Duane Martin Rumors Explained

Will Smith is no stranger to salacious rumors about himself and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. His sexuality, in particular, has been a topic of debate for years, with the “I Am Legend” star being called gay and even being accused of having an open marriage with Jada. The Oscar winner’s close friendship with fellow actor Duane Martin has only fueled the homosexuality whispers, with some speculating that the friends are actually secret lovers.

In a 2007 Essence interview (updated in 2020), Martin and his former spouse, Tisha Campbell, laughed off the rumors, apparently not wanting to make a big deal of the baseless chatter. However, Campbell once again addressed the allegations in a March 2012 tweet, urging people to stop spreading the lies. Unfortunately, her pleas did nothing to sway the hearsay about the longtime pals, whose friendship stems from the early 1990s, when Martin appeared on Will’s hit TV sitcom, “The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.” Will even lent Martin money ahead of his divorce from Campbell that ultimately left her penniless.

Previously, both men had seemed to be unbothered by the tales. However, with the rumors resurfacing yet again, it seems the Smiths are not taking the reports so lightly this time around.
