Will Smith and Doechii have brought a viral TikTok trend to life, recreating the iconic Fresh Prince of Bel-Air dance scene that has resurfaced thanks to Doechii’s hit song, “Anxiety.”
The clip, shared on Friday, features Smith and his former co-star Tatyana Ali mimicking their classic dance moves from the show’s 1990 pilot episode.
As the dance unfolds, Doechii joins the scene, adding her own flair to the routine. “Waited 35 years for this dance to trend,” Smith captioned the post, referencing the newfound popularity of the scene, which has gained traction on TikTok.
The Fresh Prince dance went viral several weeks ago after fans paired it with Doechii’s “Anxiety,” a song that samples Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.” Smith previously reposted the original clip to the song, praising the trend and tagging Ali and Doechii. The rapper later released the full version of "Anxiety" after fan demand surged.

In addition to the viral dance, Smith is preparing to release his new album, Based on a True Story, on March 28. The 14-track project features collaborations with Teyana Taylor, Jaden Smith, and Obanga. Smith has been teasing the album with singles like “Beautiful Scars” with Big Sean and “First Love.”
With nostalgia and music colliding, Smith and Doechii’s dance video has only amplified excitement for both the viral trend and Smith’s upcoming album.
