He reacted to a creator’s Tiktok video in which she opened up about an exercise where one can ask inanimate objects what they think of them. In this exercise, she claimed that those objects would reply which in reality would be “an answer in your mind from your intuition.”
After listening to the exercise thoroughly, he brought his Oscars trophy into the frame and started thinking about the same before turning to the camera which could a reference to how his first Academy Award win was overshadowed by The Slap incident on the night.
For the unversed, Smith won his first Academy Award moments after the infamous incident. He was awarded Best Actor for his portrayal of Richard Williams, the determined father in the movie King Richard.

While many of the fans were quite happy with his light-hearted comeback, some also criticized him for his actions. Last year, he slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage while he was presenting an award at the Oscars. The reason behind the altercation was that the latter made fun of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. He might have been unaware of her medical condition alopecia when he commented, “Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it.”
The actress has been vocal about her medical condition which leads to hair loss. The Aladdin star later on publicly apologized to the comedian following his ban from attending Academy Awards ceremonies for the next 10 years.
