Will Smith controversially slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, incensed social media watchdogs swarmed the verified Twitter timeline of Will Smith — a random Twitch gamer and podcaster with the same name as the best actor Academy Award winner for “King Richard.” Now, Smith’s wrongfully accused digital doppelgänger has decided to troll those who thought he was the Oscar winner, racking up hundreds of thousands of likes on Twitter,.For those who’ve been living under a pop culture rock, the incident occurred after Smith, 53 (the actor) smacked the 57-year-old comic for cracking a divisive bald joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who’s been open about her ongoing struggle with alopecia.Needless to say, Will Smith, a previously little-known gamer with a blue check mark, was quick to react to his celebrity counterpart’s smackdown, tweeting: “whelp.”“I’m sorry if you’re offended,” added Smith in a followup Tweet.

The social media civilian even commented how the viral Oscars incident contrasted with the “In Memoriam” segment, writing: “Hopefully all anyone remembers at the end of the show is this inappropriately upbeat ‘In Memoriam’ segment.”“Gonna keep tweeting through it,” Smith added, before retweeting a follower who had quipped “Everybody hates Chris.”Whelp.The comments came after an army of social media bozos mistook the gamer for the “Hancock” actor — despite that fact that he explicitly mentions that he’s “notthatwillsmith” on his Twitter bio.“Bruh control ur anger issues,” tweeted one social media Sherlock Holmes, to which a Smith defender replied, “Bruh, learn to tweet the right person.”Another Twitter sleuth wrote, “I over react to stuff all the time.
