The 56-year-old actor and rapper was reportedly the second person offered the role of Dom Cobb in the movie, which was released in 2010, after Brad Pitt turned it down.
Will also turned down, and it eventually landed on Leonardo DiCaprio.
Now, Will is revealing why he said no to the Christopher Nolan movie.

“I don’t think I’ve ever said it publicly but I am going to say it because we are opening up to one another,” Will said on the Kiss Xtra radio station. “Chris Nolan brought me Inception first and I didn’t get it. I’ve never said that out loud. Now that I think about it, it’s those movies that go into those alternate realities… they don’t pitch well. But I am hurt by those two.”
Other movies Will has revealed he turned down include The Matrix, which he said “hurts too bad to talk about.” He also said no to Django Unchained.
Earlier this year, Will toyed with the idea of returning for a fifth Men In Black movie.
