• Hollywood star Will Smith is accused by fans of using Chris Rock’s apology video to promote his own goods.
• On Friday, July 29, Jada Pinkett Smith’s husband spoke about his famous argument with Chris at the Oscars earlier this year on YouTube.
• The actor discussed the fallout in his most recent video and expressed regret to the comedian for his actions.

However, while some have interpreted the Fresh Prince’s display of emotion as a sincere act of repentance, others are less persuaded.

While watching the video, some keen viewers noticed a bottle of water set on the table next to him.

However, it was a bottle from a lesser-known company called Just Water, which is also his son’s business. Many people claimed in their tweets that this wasn’t a sincere apology, but rather a blatant case of self-promotion.

Will Smith promoting his own bottled water business during his apology video, according to on, makes it completely disingenuous.

Another contributed: “The clever placement of Just Water in the Will Smith apology video was my favourite element. Even after you apologise, you still need to get that paper.”

“Will Smith was incredibly sincere in his apology video, but he still intends to launch his son’s water company. For legal reasons, he must add #WaterPartner to the description “One more wrote.

While another added: “See this is why you just give your apology to who it belongs to smh. #willsmith lost me at the product placement.”

Smith, in his apology, said: “It’s all fuzzy. I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is he’s not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out. There’s no part of me that thinks that’s the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.”

Will Smith also responded to a question about whether or not his wife had told him to do something that night, saying: “No. It’s like, you know, I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences, from my history with Chris. Jada had nothing to do with it. I’m sorry, babe. I wanna say sorry to my kids and my family for the heat that I brought on all of us.”
