Guest Guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Why do u guys still call him Fresh Prince and even put "Prince" for interviews that have him as Will Smith? He has said before he doesn't wanna be acknowledged as the Fresh Prince anymore, that he's grown up and hopefully his fans will accept that. Why don't u guys just respect his wishes and call him Will?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Some of us have been down since WAAAY b4 he started calling himself "Will Smith." 2 some of us, he'll always be Fresh Prince. Asking us 2 change how we refur 2 him would be just as ignorant as me asking others 2 not call him Will Smith. And he's NEVER said he didn't wanna be called the Fresh Prince. He still wears his "Fresh Prince" diamond necklace from time 2 time. He's refured 2 himself as the Fresh Prince at least once on each album he's done. One Willennium, he credits himself as The Fresh Prince in the executive producer credits and also for the song "Pump Me Up." In an MTV interveiew in 1997, he was asked if he would go by Fresh Prince or Will Smith. He said he left it blank on the paperwork cuz old heads are always gonna call him Fresh Prince, but that newer fans would call him Will Smith. There's the facts.

Lerkot Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I dont think he doesnt wanna be called Fresh Prince. Actually, I really think he wants to go back to be DJ Jazzy jeff & The Fresh Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I agree with Lerkot... to me, he isnt "Big Will" or "Will Smith" hes "the Fresh Prince" of "DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince"... and i just got into JJFP like 3 years ago too...respect for them. btw this is one of the dumbest topics ever no offense lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshPrincess Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 i agree, what a ridiculous topic, they obviously only did it to get a reaction from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 However he does still refer to himself as 'Big Will' as well. Check the Switch Video! I guess its whatever mood he's in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_mixenmasta.b Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I have to say though I do remember hearing an interview on tv when willie style first cme out he did say he was giving up the fresh prince name and growing I do remember hearing that not to say its bad to call him fp but I am just stating that the guest who started this topic isnt making it up, for the most part that is i dont remember the part of saying he doesnt want to be called fp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseKnuckles Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 we should have an awards thing for the worst posts ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mimi* Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 wow u guys are real mean up here. Seriously, the guest ain't making it up. I heard him say the same quote in an interview not too long ago. I think it's alright to call him the "fresh prince" still if u want, but replacing the name Will with "Fresh Prince" for everything is pretty ridiculuos too. I'm talkin specifically to AJ about the Playboy interview he posted. I'm sure it didn't say "prince" on there. It seems to me that some of u are stuck on nostalgia and keep it old school all the time and refuse to let the old times go. But just because a guest is wondering why some of u call him Fresh Prince all the time doesn't mean u gotta attack the person. If u think it's dumb for asking a simple question and u go on attacking a guest, u just chased away another potential board member. I've seen dumber posts here by members and i think that it was a legit question that guy was asking. If u wonder why some people are standoffish with some of u, read your responses to these people. Will Smith, the man we're all here for is all about the positive. He never blatently attacks people for no reason. yet here u are, his fans, callin people dumb, "making the worst post ever" just cuz maybe he/she was expressing sincere curiousity. Im guessing that since I don't agree with u guys I'll be attacked for my opinions too huh? I guess like the guest, I'll be another dumb, offensive poster right??
