Smith confessed to having a longstanding crush on Pepa but had previously refrained from expressing his feelings as she was always in a relationship. Seizing the opportunity when both would be in L.A., Smith rented a white Mercedes convertible and planned a romantic evening driving around Hollywood Hills, watching the sunset.
During the podcast, Pepa remembered the date vividly, highlighting one standout moment. She recalled encountering a homeless person during their outing, and Smith spontaneously gave the individual $100. Despite Smith’s attempt to impress her, he admitted that his main concern was his own safety, confessing he was “the most terrified” while trying to make a move on Pepa.
While their brief fling didn’t lead to a lasting romance, Smith shared that he, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Salt-N-Pepa continued to have a great relationship over the years. The podcast episode provided fans with a charming glimpse into the Fresh Prince’s past, revealing a vulnerable and humorous side to his pursuit of love.
