Actor and rapper Will Smith is set to appear at the BET Awards this Sunday, which will be his first appearance at an award show since his slap at the Oscars in 2022.

Smith’s performance at the show comes two years into a 10-year ban from the Academy Awards, which he received for slapping comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife during the broadcast.
