The internet went into meltdown after seeing Will Smith slap Chris Rock at the Oscars 2022, and TikTok musicians have been quick to remix the audio into a viral sound.

Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock in the face after the comedian joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia — a medical condition that causes hair loss — at the 2022 Oscars.

The smack set the internet alight and drew reactions from some of the biggest content creators and influencers in the scene, such as Logan Paul, Hasan, Myth, Shroud, Ethan Klein, and more.

Musicians on TikTok are now remixing the audio from the slap heard around the world, causing the sound itself to go viral after the incident itself.
