Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second

In a well-deserved tax, Will Smith has been honored with a street named “Will Smith Way” in West Philadelphia, the neighborhood where he was born and raised.VideoThe celebration took place on Wednesday, with Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker and city leaders renaming a section of 59th Street, right next to Smith's alma mater, Overbrook High School.A obviously moved Smith addressed the crowd, saying, “Philly, I love you. I am yours.” He reflects on the lessons he learned from his parents, emphasizing the value of hard work and education. “No one can ride a bike easily,” he said. “This is one of the things these streets in Philadelphia taught me: There’s nothing wrong with a tough day’s job.” The event also reunited with a former teacher, the first to call him “The Charming Prince,” a nickname that later became his iconic “Fresh Prince” on Baird’s TV show “Bell Bell Pris Prince.” “The name “Fresh Prince” was written in that building. I added “Fresh” because it was hip-hop.” In addition to this enormous honor, Smith will release his much-anticipated fifth studio album, Based on the Truth Story, last Friday – he was the first of twenty years.
