Will Smith’s Tour Video Has More Fingers Than Fans
*Will Smith dropped a promo video to hype up his music tour—and accidentally added a few extra fingers along the way.
The Instagram clip, meant to show off packed venues, is now being roasted for obvious AI glitches.
From six-fingered fans to blurry human blobs, the crowd looks more like a Sims glitch than a real audience. Welcome to the metaverse, Will.
AI Fail or Artistic Choice? Internet Says “Nah”
The video dropped on August 18, 2025, just before the UK leg of Smith’s “Based On A True Story” tour. But instead of cheering, fans were counting fingers—and not in a good way.
Lipstick Alley was first to sound the alarm, posting screenshots that showed mutant-looking hands and duplicate body parts. Critics say the AI-made crowd was supposed to make the tour look bigger than it is. Spoiler: it didn’t.

From Comeback King to Copy-Paste Crowds
Let’s be real—this is Smith’s first album in 20 years, and people expected a grand return. Instead, they got AI gremlins in the audience and questions about whether the hype is real.
Some venues were reportedly half-full, which only fuels the theory that someone tried to “enhance” reality just a bit too hard. Nothing says “back on top” like a Photoshop fail.
Social Media Users Are Ruthless—and Hilarious
The internet wasted no time dragging the whole mess. One user wrote, “Nobody is checking for Will Smith anymore. People swear that nothing changed after that slap. But that’s not true. Even Will knows that he f***d himself.”
Others tried to keep the faith, with one fan writing, “No big deal. He’ll pivot and do better. Still a great.” But yeah… those extra hands beg to differ.
Online Comments Are Brutal, as Expected
Will’s own followers weren’t holding back. One said, “Lots of distorted faces, excess fingers. Nobody checking quality before letting this out?” Another joked the audience looked like they were rendered on a 2003 PlayStation game.
Despite the finger frenzy, some fans just vibed with the music and shrugged off the chaos. Respect to the ride-or-dies.
AI Is Everywhere, But Still Can’t Count Fingers
Using AI in promo content isn’t new. But as Wired pointed out last year, AI still struggles with basic anatomy. Like, you had *one job*, Midjourney. One job.
We’ve seen this before with other celebs (hi, deepfake Taylor), but Will’s team may have taken “digital makeover” a bit too far.
Team Smith Says … Absolutely Nothing
So far, no statement from Will or anyone on Team Fresh Prince.
Some say the clip might’ve come from an outside editor, but the silence isn’t helping.
Is it strategic silence? Or did they just not notice the hand horror show before posting? Either way, the internet noticed.
Will Smith’s Comeback Tour Takes a Weird Turn
“Based On A True Story” was supposed to be Smith’s big music revival moment. Instead, it’s trending because of fake fans and freaky fingers.
He’s still got upcoming shows in the UK. If real fans show up—preferably with five fingers each—it might be the redemption arc he needs.
Why This Story Has Legs… and Too Many Hands
This isn’t just about some botched video edit. It’s about how fast fans can sniff out fakery—and how quick they’ll call you out for it.
With AI creeping into every corner of entertainment, Smith’s flub is a reminder: if you’re gonna fake it, maybe double-check the hands next time.
