Will Smith‘s name is being dragged into a legal battle between his ex Jada Pinkett Smith and his former friend Bilaal Salaam.

Salaam (also known as Brother Bilaal) is seeking the Oscar winner’s testimony in his lawsuit against Pinkett Smith, who he accuses of orchestrating a smear campaign against him after an alleged confrontation at Smith’s birthday party in 2021, according to court documents obtained by E! News.

In an email exchange attached to motion filed by Pinkett Smith’s legal team on July 15, Salaam—who is representing himself in the case—said he wanted to devote the first 10 minutes of a 30-minute call with the actress’ counsel to addressing his request to depose Smith.

However, Pinkett Smith’s lawyer—who stated in her filing that her client “denies all such allegations” from Salaam—argued that there “is nothing to meet and confer about” regarding Smith.

“Mr. Smith is not a party to this litigation,” the attorney continued in her email response to Salaam. “To the extent you seek his deposition, you must comply with the applicable procedures for obtaining discovery from a nonparty. As far as we are aware, no subpoena has been served on Mr. Smith.”
