00:00 In a recent episode of a podcast, Will Smith opened up about a particularly nerve-wracking
00:06 experience.
00:08 His one and only date with Sandra "Peppa" Denton from Salt-N-Pepa, revealing the underlining
00:14 apprehension he felt during their late 80s outing.
00:18 During their appearance on the show, Smith disclosed his long-standing admiration for
00:23 Denton, admitting that she had always been involved with someone else until she was suddenly
00:29 single.
00:30 "I saw an opportunity," he recounted.
00:32 "We were both going to be in L.A. at the same time, so I decided to shoot my shot."
00:38 In a bid to impress her, Smith rented a white Mercedes convertible, intending to take her
00:44 on a scenic tour of the Hollywood Hills to watch the sunset.
00:48 However, behind his confident facade, Smith confessed, "I always faked like I had a game.
00:54 I didn't really have a game."
00:55 Denton, on the other hand, remembered the night differently, recalling Smith's gesture
01:00 of kindness towards a homeless person they encountered and their subsequent visit to
01:05 the Hollywood sign.
01:06 However, Smith admitted that in reality, he was anxious, fearing for his safety.
01:12 "My concern was that I was going to get killed," he said.
01:15 "That was my concern when I was trying to spit my game.
01:19 But I ain't really have nothing."
01:21 The romantic encounter didn't lead to much beyond that evening, and the relationship
01:26 fizzled out.
01:27 Although they remained on good terms, Smith later tied the knot with Jada Pinkett Smith
01:32 in 1997, while Denton briefly married rapper Tretch from 1999 to 2001.
