Tony Rock Drags Will Smith’s New Album: “It’s Trash, I Refuse to Listen”

Tony Rock is not here for Will Smith’s new music.

When asked by TMZ how he feels about Based on a True Story, Will’s first album in a decade, Tony didn’t hold back: “Will Smith has an album out and it’s a piece of sh*t and he addresses the Oscars.”

“Everybody keeps telling me to stop talking about it but then he f*cking puts it on a song,” Tony said.

“So that gives me leeway to talk about it again. Album’s trash. I’m just assuming. I haven’t listened to it. I refuse to listen to it.”

And he’s not done.

“This album is probably shtty as fck because I haven’t heard anything about it other than ‘Oh, he addresses your brother.’ If that’s the only selling point, that’s a sh*tty album.”

As you know,  Based on a True Story dropped March 28 and features Big Sean, Russ, Joyner Lucas, and Jaden Smith.

Unfortunately, the album didn’t chart. Critics hated it. And Tony Rock’s already calling it a flop.

#WillSmith released his first album in 20 years, “Based on a True Story,” last month to mostly closed ears … the album failed to hit any #Billboard Charts … a new career low!!!
