Daphne Reid and Will Smith in a promo photo for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.fan's dreams come true on Wednesday by reuniting the cast for his Snapchat show,, and in part two of the episode, Daphne Maxwell Reid spilled major tea about how she came to play Aunt Viv.
"We've never really had the conversation about what it must have been [like] for you coming into this cast," Smith told his on-screen mother figure, who joined the cast in Season 4 of the hit sitcom. Reid then revealed that she originally turned down an audition for the series when it was described to her as a starring vehicle for a"young rapper.", I said 'Damn!'" she quipped as Smith and the rest of her former cast mates all burst into laughter.
Of course, at the time, the behind-the-scenes casting drama was no laughing matter, as reported on-set tension between Smith and Janet Hubert -- the original Aunt Viv -- led to the actress' unceremonious ouster as the matriarch of the wealthy Banks brood at the conclusion of Season 3.
