Jaden Smith has a pretty straightforward and clear take on his dad Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars: “And That’s How We Do It”. Jaden posted his reaction to Twitter not long after the incident between Smith and Rock went down onstage, and needless to say, it provoked a big reaction. Words from the Smith child immediately caught the social media spotlight; at the time of writing this, Jaden’s post is soaring towards a million likes and over 140K retweets – that said, the post has also sparked over 20K comments in response – not all of them supportive:

The sped-up version of the slap is both funnier and worse.

So many .gifs over this.
Your Dad Should Apologize
You assault comedians for telling bad lazy jokes on live television? What kind of example is violence? That outburst by Will was embarrassing. Your Dad should apologize, not be celebrated. pic.twitter.com/h7fAefC6O6

This incident may single-handedly revive Rock’s 2005 biopic series.

It’s never good when SpongeBob memes sync with real life.

Like two young lovers kissing by the lockers
One of the most fun trends right now is imaging what kind of song lyrics Drake is going to make out of all this.

It Was All A Bit

A lot of viewers still can’t accept that this was all real. They insist that it’s all one long joke being played on us all. If so, there’s only one culprit that could be behind it…
