The pair have been friends for three decades.

However, it’s not just his acting prowess that has made headlines. Martin also saw success off-screen as a real estate entrepreneur. Along with his then-wife, actress Tisha Campbell-Martin, they owned a restaurant and several real estate properties. Their ventures illustrated Martin’s business acumen and further established him as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.

Martin’s name is often associated with Smith due to their close friendship. The two have been friends for years and their bond has sparked several rumors over time. Martin and Smith were so close that Smith loaned Martin $1.4 million to save his home from foreclosure in 2012.
