He first gained recognition as part of a hip hop duo with DJ Jazzy Jeff, with whom he released five studio albums which contained five ''Billboard'' Hot 100-top 20 singles—"Parents Just Don't Understand", "A Nightmare on My Street", "Summertime", "Ring My Bell", and "Boom!

He has won four Grammy Awards for his recording career.
Smith achieved wider fame as a leading man for the action film ''Bad Boys'' (1995), and the science fiction comedy ''Men in Black'' (1997); he later reprised both roles in several sequels. After starring in the thrillers ''Independence Day'' (1996) and ''Enemy of the State'' (1998), he received Academy Award for Best Actor nominations for his portrayals of Muhammad Ali in ''Ali'' (2001), and Chris Gardner in ''The Pursuit of Happyness'' (2006).

For his portrayal of Richard Williams in the biographical sports drama ''King Richard'' (2021), Smith won the Academy Award for Best Actor. At the 2022 ceremony, shortly before winning, Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock after Rock made an unscripted joke referencing Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The controversial event earned substantial media coverage and criticism, with Smith ultimately resigning from the Academy along with being banned from attending all their events for ten years.
