Will Smith and Doechii recreate viral ‘Anxiety' dance from Fresh Prince pilot
Will Smith and Doechii have brought a viral TikTok trend to life, recreating the iconic Fresh Prince of Bel-Air dance scene that has resurfaced thanks to Doechii's hit song, 'Anxiety.'
The clip, shared on Friday, features Smith and his former co-star Tatyana Ali mimicking their classic dance moves from the show's 1990 pilot episode.
As the dance unfolds, Doechii joins the scene, adding her own flair to the routine. 'Waited 35 years for this dance to trend,' Smith captioned the post, referencing the newfound popularity of the scene, which has gained traction on TikTok.
The Fresh Prince dance went viral several weeks ago after fans paired it with Doechii's 'Anxiety,' a song that samples Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used to Know.' Smith previously reposted the original clip to the song, praising the trend and tagging Ali and Doechii. The rapper later released the full version of "Anxiety" after fan demand surged.

The 14-track project features collaborations with Teyana Taylor, Jaden Smith, and Obanga. Smith has been teasing the album with singles like 'Beautiful Scars' with Big Sean and 'First Love.'
With nostalgia and music colliding, Smith and Doechii's dance video has only amplified excitement for both the viral trend and Smith's upcoming album.

Country singer Conner Smith involved in fatal crosswalk collision
Country singer Conner Smith is under investigation following a tragic car accident in Nashville that resulted in the death of a 77-year-old woman. The incident occurred on June 8, 2025, when Smith, 24, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado and allegedly struck Dorothy Dobbins as she crossed the street in a marked crosswalk. According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, Dobbins, a local resident, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she later died from her injuries. Preliminary findings indicate Smith failed to yield the right of way, though police confirmed he showed no signs of impairment. "There are no charges at present," officials stated, noting that the investigation is still ongoing. Smith's attorney released a statement confirming his involvement in the accident and expressed condolences to the victim's family: "His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins' family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation." Sources close to the situation say the crash was not caused by distraction or substance use. The fatal incident took place on the final day of CMA Fest, a major country music event in Nashville. Signed to Big Machine Records' Valory label, Smith released his debut album Smoky Mountains last year and recently collaborated on the Twisters soundtrack. He was also nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards. Smith married professional surfer Leah Thompson in April 2024.

Kendrick Lamar wins big at 2025 BET Awards
Kendrick Lamar was the top winner at the BET Awards on Monday night, an awards ceremony honouring black actors, singers and sports stars. The 30 For 30 rapper won the best male hip-hop artist award, best album of the year and the video of the year award for Not Like Us. Lamar and filmmaker Dave Free also took home the video director of the year award at the event held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and broadcast on the BET cable channel. "BET has always made sure they're representing the culture right and always put me in the midst of the cycle of what we represent," Lamar said on stage when accepting his award. Host comedian Kevin Hart opened the ceremony by recognising the BET Awards' 25th anniversary and all of the "history that has been made" on the stage. The ceremony traversed the evolution of black music, starting with a performance by R&B artist Ashanti that featured a compilation of songs, including her 2002 song Foolish. Additional performances included other 2000s songs Ballin' by Mustard, 1 Thing by Amerie and Like You by Bow Wow. Hart led with jokes while also highlighting the BET Ultimate Icon Award winners of the night, including Kirk Franklin, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg. The special award was given to those that have paid homage to music, entertainment, advocacy and community impact. Presented by Stevie Wonder, Foxx accepted his award and reflected on his recovery journey after having a stroke in 2023. "I have to be honest, when I saw the in memoriam, I was, 'Man, that could have been me,'" he said. Another honour included the best female hip-hop artist award for rising rapper Doechii. "(US President Donald) Trump is using military forces to stop protest," Doechii said in her acceptance speech. "I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be, when every time we exercise our democratic rights to protest, the military is deployed against us." Reuters

TikToker im.krispy finds out she's colorblind after viral blue chair debate
A TikTok creator known as went viral in early June 2025 after a surprising realization: she might be colorblind. The content creator, Kristin, had posted a video about giving away her 'blue' chair on Facebook Marketplace to someone in need. However, confusion began when the potential buyer responded, saying the chair looked grey instead. In the viral TikTok clip, Kristin asked, 'Is this chair grey or blue?' and showed both the chair and her matching couch. This sparked an online debate with over 133,000 comments, and most viewers agreed the chair was clearly grey, not blue. One user commented, 'It's not only gray, it's very freaking gray.' Another wrote, 'Was I just gaslit into expecting a blue chair only to see it's gray?' The strong reaction pushed Kristin to take an online color blind test. The results suggested she may have protan color blindness, a type of red-green deficiency that affects how red tones are seen. Kristin shared her results in a follow-up video and said she plans to visit an eye doctor for a professional diagnosis. @ Results are in but the doctor will be the deciding factor 🤓 ♬ original sound - kristin As the video gained more attention, Wayfair offered to send her the actual blue chair and couch she originally thought she had. Kristin's unexpected discovery has not only made her question how she sees colors but also sparked wider discussions about color perception, TikTok trends, and online optical illusions.
