Scandal-scarred Will Smith is accused of getting jiggy with his latest video, using AI to create a cheering audience, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The slap-happy star, 56, who released his first full-length album in two decades in March, is on a global tour to promote it.
Creating Fake Fans?
Will Smith is accused of using AI to make his concert audience appear larger.
But many fans are convinced that Smith, apparently not satisfied with the size of the crowds at his concerts, tinkered with a promotional video so it looks like the audience is bigger.
The Summertime rapper posted the minute-long clip on YouTube, which shows him performing in front of fans who display a creepy, almost cult-like adoration.
Others hold up signs praising him, like "Love you, Fresh Prince," and "Now this is a story all about how you changed my son's life. Can he come onstage please?"
Smith captioned the video: "My favorite part of tour is seeing you all up close. Thank you for seeing me too."
Will's Struggling Career
Chris Rock was slapped by Smith at the 2022 Oscars during the Slapgate incident.
But eagle-eyed viewers weren't fooled. "Wtf why is the crowd fake??" one posted.
Another noted: "AI crowd, bot-made comments ... and an artist that has lost all authenticity and resonance. When people create, they add to the world, as Smith used to. This is just a bunch of algorithms circle-jerking each other."
A third commented: "It's over, bro. Just enjoy your retirement."
This is the latest misstep for the once-invincible box-office powerhouse who's been on a steep downhill trajectory ever since Slapgate, when he smacked Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
He claimed he was defending his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 53, even though they'd been separated since 2016.
