‘True definition of a Mentor’
The relationship between Will Smith and Quincy Jones runs deep. The famed story of Jones having Smith audition for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air goes down in HIp-Hop history. Following Jones’s death, Will Smith hit Instagram to share a touching message:
Quincy Jones is the true definition of a Mentor, a Father and a Friend. He pointed me toward the greatest parts of myself. He defended me. He nurtured me. He encouraged me. He inspired me. He checked me when he needed to. He let me use his wings until mine were strong enough to fly.
