All we have heard this week is about the aftermath of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, which overshadowed the news cycle.
It is entirely understandable if you are done with this story. But by the looks of things, netizens and content creators of memes, remixes, Tik Tok, and Instagram videos have been busy.
A Tik Tok user known as jcruraps did a remix to the now infamous slap. He used Smith’s profanities when he shouted at the Rock: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f*** mouth”.

The repercussions for Will Smith have been immense so far. The best actor winner announced his resignation from the Oscars Academy on Friday.
The actor said his actions overshadowed Hollywood’s glamorous night of the year and were “shocking, painful and inexcusable.”
“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” Smith said in a statement.
“I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.”
The Academy Awards released a scathing statement on Thursday that Smith’s behaviour was a “deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in person and on television.”
