Not at all. The name "Smith" is very common, and Bessie lived in an entirely different era from Will-- she was performing in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s, where Will is from the modern era of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. That said, I would be shocked in Will Smith had never heard of Bessie, who was an internationally known and admired blues singer.
