J Balvin and Will Smith Team Up for Out-of-This-World Performance at Coachella 2024
Fans at Coachella 2024 were in for a surprise when J Balvin brought out none other than Will Smith for a performance that was truly out of this world. The duo took the stage together, with Smith recreating his iconic rap and dance moves from the 1997 “Men in Black” music video.
In exclusive footage obtained by E! News, J Balvin praised Smith, calling him a legend and expressing his excitement at working with him. The collaboration was a dream come true for the singer, who couldn’t contain his admiration for the actor.
“Men in Black,” the movie that spawned the hit song, stars Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as agents investigating extraterrestrial life on Earth. Despite the success of the film and its sequels, Smith recently revealed that he almost turned down the role due to concerns about making two alien movies back to back.
However, with some persuasion from executive producer Steven Spielberg, Smith ultimately took on the role, leading to a successful franchise that has spanned nearly three decades.
The surprise performance at Coachella was a highlight of the festival, which also featured headliners like Lana Del Rey, Tyler The Creator, Doja Cat, and No Doubt. Balvin’s intergalactic set with Smith was a standout moment that left fans in awe of the unexpected collaboration between the Latin music star and the Hollywood icon.
