Soon enough, the beef between Smith and Eminem spilled over from the VMA stage and into Smith's music as well. In the year 2000, in fact, the "King Richard" actor shot back at Eminem in his own song called — appropriately enough — "Mr. Niceguy" from the album "Lost and Found" (via AllMusic). With a video available to watch now on Youtube, Smith claims he's innocent and that he didn't mean to start anything with the "Eight Mile" star. In the song, Smith raps, "Dissed by Eminem, but didn't bother him ... I'm a nice guy why y'all harassing me, huh."
Before that, the Smith-Eminem feud also showed up in Dr. Dre and Eminem's cut "Forgot About Dre," in which Em is heard sarcastically dropping Smith's name (via IMDb). So how seriously was the Eminem-Will Smith feud, really? Not very, according to Smith's long-time music collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff, who worked with Smith when he performed as the Fresh Prince. At one point, according to Hip Hop 24X7, Em even asked DJ Jazzy Jeff if Smith was really mad about what had happened, to which Jeff responded, "Nah, [Smith] doesn't care about that stuff."
