Surprise! Watch the crowd go wild as Will Smith sings classic hit ‘Miami' — in Miami
Talk about bringing down the house.
Will Smith pulled off an unforgettable performance on Thursday night at the Premio Lo Nuestro awards at the Kaseya Center downtown.
To say the 'Bad Boys' star did justice to his classic 1997 hit 'Miami' would be the understatement of the millennium.
After a sizzling duet of his latest track 'First Love' with Spanish singer India Martínez, a breathless Smith began to take off his tuxedo.
'Where we at?' he asks DJ Khaled, who is off to the side of the stage.
'You know you can't come in the 305 and just give us one?' the local rap star shouts into the mic, adding his signature phrase, 'You gotta give us another one!'
As the audience cheers, two dancers help put a guayabera festooned with palm trees on Smith.
'South Beach bringing the heat!' the 56 year old begins. 'Y'all feel that? Y'all feel that!?'
Smith then starts strutting through the crowd, belting out the lyrics of the beloved track off his first solo album, 'Big Willie Style,' which samples Whisper's 'And the Beat Goes On.'
Suddenly Thalia, in a sparkly silver dress, appears to bring an assist for the chorus, and Khaled tells everyone to 'put their hands up!'
The unlikely trio shake their stuff as backup dancers in yellow gyrate and smoke machines blast to the rafters.
The song closes out with a snippet of another unforgettable tune, Miami Sound Machine's 'Conga,' which turns 40 this year.
'C'mon, shake your body, baby do the conga,' a now hoarse Smith sings as fans go wild. 'I know you can't control yourself any longer.'
Thalia posted a few pictures of the performance on her Instagram to rave reviews. Apparently, this triple threat ensemble was a collaboration no one know they needed.
'Spectacular.'
'Loved this.'
'So hot.'

Fact Check: Barron Trump didn't marry Princess Leonor of Spain
Claim: In 2025, Barron Trump married Princess Leonor of Spain in a royal wedding held at a European palace. Rating: In May 2025, a rumor spread across social media claiming that Barron Trump, the youngest son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, had married Princess Leonor of Spain. The story was pushed by several YouTube videos, one of which was titled, "Barron Trump & Princess Leonor's Grand Royal Wedding at a Magnificent Palace," and reached over 146,000 views. The video's description read: Step into a world of elegance and history as we unveil Barron Trump & Princess Leonor's Grand Royal Wedding at a Magnificent Palace. Set in a timeless European palace, this royal ceremony captures the grace, tradition, and grandeur of old-world nobility. From the majestic processional to the heartfelt vows, every moment feels like a scene from a fairytale. Witness the union of American and Spanish heritage in a wedding unlike any other. Similar videos about the alleged wedding of Barron Trump and Princess Leonor appeared in early 2025, including titles such as "Barron Trump & Princess Leonor's Singing - Double Happiness | Royal Wedding at the Royal Palace," "Barron Trump and Princess Leonor's Royal Wedding at the Spanish Royal Palace," and "Barron Trump Marries Princess Leonor – A Royal Love Story Come True." Most of these videos featured sentimental music, portraying the pair singing romantic duets. Similar clips spread on other social media platforms, including TikTok and Facebook. However, none of these videos was based in reality. First, there were no credible news reports or official announcements from either the Spanish royal family or the Trump family confirming any such relationship or marriage between the two individuals. Princess Leonor, born in 2005 and currently heir to the Spanish throne, has been the subject of significant media attention, and any real engagement or marriage would have made news headlines. Additionally, the videos spreading the claim were explicitly labeled AI-generated, and many of the clips used in these videos displayed clear signs of artificial creation, including distorted facial features, unnatural skin textures, and inconsistent lighting or backgrounds. Therefore, we have rated this claim as false. The videos seemed to originate from the Lovely Trump Family YouTube channel (archived), which featured multiple videos with the same narrative (see screenshot below): (YouTube channel Lovely Trump Family) One YouTube video that featured a romantic song and allegedly showed scenes from Barron Trump's wedding reached over 1.8 million views as of this writing. It was captioned: Experience the magical royal wedding as Barron Trump and Princess Leonor of Spain perform a series of heartfelt songs at their grand wedding celebration. With their soulful voices, they sing beautiful ballads like "Our Forever Begins," "A Love Meant to Be," and "Promise of Forever." Each song is a tribute to true love, faith, and the journey of two hearts coming together. Set against the stunning backdrop of a royal palace and a luxurious setting, their emotional performance captures the essence of a fairytale romance. The enchanting lyrics, heartfelt melodies, and the radiant smiles of Barron and Princess Leonor create an unforgettable moment, making this royal wedding a truly magical event. Witness the joy, love, and celebration of two souls united in a grand and elegant ceremony. Like the other videos, it included an "AI Disclaimer" stating, "This video was created using AI technology for entertainment purposes. The voices, visuals, and performances of Barron Trump and Princess Leonor are generated using advanced AI software and do not represent real-life events." Despite this disclaimer, many users in the comments appeared to take the content at face value, praising the supposed couple and reacting as if the wedding had genuinely taken place. Additionally, a Google search for "Barron Trump Princess Leonor wedding" returned no relevant results beyond AI-generated content. ( In addition to disclaimers labeling the videos as AI-generated, the content itself contained numerous visual cues that it was artificially created. These included distorted facial features, unnatural skin textures, and lighting inconsistencies that are common artifacts of AI. For example, in one scene, a car's license plate appeared with jumbled, nonsensical characters that did not resemble any real-world format. In another scene purportedly showing a crowd at the alleged wedding, many of the attendees' faces were blurred, asymmetrical and unnaturally rendered. (YouTube channel Lovely Trump Family) The rumor appears to have originated purely from speculative posts on social media. One of the earliest and most widely shared examples came from an X user in October 2024, who wrote, "Barron Trump and the Princess of Spain Leonor are a match made in heaven. Same age, no previous relationships, good values, good looking and with a powerful family," reaching over 7 million views. The post was not based on any confirmed relationship, interaction or credible report involving the two individuals. Snopes has previously debunked several false claims involving Barron Trump, including a viral rumor that he was rejected by Harvard University and AI-generated videos that falsely portrayed him singing on America's Got Talent.

Netflix's new crime thriller movie is now streaming — and it's based on a shocking true story
Netflix is no stranger to releasing a steady stream of crime thrillers, but it's the ones rooted in real events that tend to leave the deepest impression, at least for me. That's definitely the case with 'A Widow's Game,' the latest Spanish crime thriller to hit the streaming service. 'A Widow's Game' draws directly from the 2017 murder case in Valencia, Spain, involving María Jesús Moreno Canto, known as 'Maje,' who was dubbed the 'Black Widow of Patraix.' The trailer showed just enough of this compelling case to grab my attention, and it's definitely a tense thriller, to say the least. Directed by Carlos Sedes (best known for 'The Asunta Case') this new crime thriller exposes the sinister possibilities of human nature when obsession and deceit take root. It's a haunting portrait of how easily truth can be twisted and how far some will go to get what they want. So, if you're browsing Netflix and want something that doesn't just thrill but unsettles, this Spanish thriller should be added to your watchlist. Here's why 'A Widow's Game' is worth watching now. In the summer of 2017, the quiet city of Valencia was rocked by a brutal crime: a man was found stabbed seven times in a residential parking lot. At first glance, it appears to be a tragic crime of passion. The case lands in the hands of the city's Homicide Group, led by a seasoned inspector determined to uncover the truth before the trail goes cold. As the investigation unfolds, suspicion begins to fall on an unlikely figure — Maje (Ivana Baquero), the victim's young widow. Known for her sweet, composed demeanor, Maje had been married to the victim for less than a year, and her calm presence seemed at odds with the violence of the crime. 'A Widow's Game' is a slow-burning thriller inspired by true events, and it invites viewers to question how well we really know the people closest to us and what they might be capable of when pushed to the edge. Instead of focusing solely on the murder, 'A Widow's Game' digs into the mindset, emotions, and motivations of the people involved. At first, I was worried that spending so much time examining the darker psychology behind it all might take away from the gravity of the crime, but thankfully, the movie handles it well. It stays neutral, never trying to excuse or soften what happened. You're not swayed to feel sympathy, just a growing sense of discomfort and repulsion for those capable of doing something so awful. Rather than asking who did it, 'A Widow's Game' leans into why they did it and how dangerously easy it is to fall under the influence of manipulation. We're first introduced to the Valencia homicide team, led by Inspector Eva Torres (Carmen Machi), who's juggling a personal issue with her daughter at school. That character detail felt a little jarring, especially since the mother-daughter thread is never really explored again. But I assume it was meant to show how ordinary life can feel right before something unexpectedly terrible happens in that line of work. From there, Eva gets a call about the murder scene, which is when the story kicks off and the investigation begins. After some suspect interviews, the narrative switches, and the name 'Maje' pops up on screen. Ivana Baquero's performance as Maje is what gives 'A Widow's Game' its quietly unsettling feel. This is when we watch the widow's story unfold completely, from her getting married, to her affairs, and ultimately, to the cold, calculated manipulation at the heart of it all. Ivana Baquero's performance as Maje is what gives 'A Widow's Game' its quietly unsettling feel. She plays the role of the innocent, grieving widow with such calm conviction that it's easy to understand why those around her were so easily taken in. But behind closed doors, Baquero reveals a chillingly calculated side, especially in the way Maje emotionally wears down the men she's involved with — most notably Salvador, her co-worker at the hospital, who has a wife and child. We see how she slowly gains control over him with subtle emotional pressure. One particularly clever scene shows Maje at her second job in a care home, where she tells an elderly woman that her children will visit her later that day. She then turns to a colleague and casually calls it a 'white lie' to make the elderly woman 'feel better.' It's a small moment, but it speaks volumes to how her manipulation isn't limited to romantic relationships. However, there are a few obvious flaws, one being that 'A Widow's Game' plays it very safe when it comes to storytelling. The movie dedicates a lot of time to exploring Maje's actions and what may have driven her, yet it never fully dives beneath the surface. Instead of unraveling a layered mystery, it feels more like we're simply waiting for one of the culprits to slip up in conversation. The tension is steady, but there's little in the way of surprise or true suspense. I found 'A Widow's Game' to be an engaging watch, though I was occasionally thrown off by its mix of documentary and dramatized storytelling. The blend didn't always feel seamless and left parts of the narrative feeling a bit unclear, especially around the middle. Still, what really stood out for me were the performances and the layered, morally murky characters. And I'm sure anyone who enjoys crime thrillers will find themselves invested in this one as well. If you're looking for your next tense watch this weekend, 'A Widow's Game' is now streaming on Netflix. For more streaming recommendations, see what's being added to Netflix in June 2025.
