Grammy award winning Doechii breaks the internet with “Anxiety”

Published on

 

After winning the Best Rap Album award at the Grammy Awards this year, Doechii is now breaking the internet by reuniting Fresh Prince of Bel-Air siblings Will Smith and Ashley Banks, played by Tatyana Ali, as part of the new viral TikTok dance trend inspired by their show and her song, “Anxiety.”

 

Doechii makes a surprise cameo in the video posted by Smith as the actors recreate the popular scene from a classic episode on the show.

The video, set to Doechii’s newly released song “Anxiety”, has gained over 208 million views and reached nearly 30 million likes.

 

According to the 26-year-old Grammy award-winning singer, she originally recorded the song in her bedroom for her 2019 self-released Coven Music Sessions mixtape. Social Media users have however been remaking a beloved scene from Fresh Prince, where Will walks in on Ashley dancing to the music in her headphones, using the song.

Docheii’s original version of “Anxiety” was never released but due to fan demand, the singer re-recorded her vocals and released a new version this month.

 

 

The moment she teased the release of her newly recorded “Anxiety” on TikTok, the song reached 11.2 billion views across 2.3 million videos created using the song.

 

” “Anxiety” itself is getting streamed more than 7 million times a day globally, quickly approaching 50 million this week.”
