On more than one occasion, Will Smith has flaunted his Spanish-language skills. (Check out a few examples here.) A few days ago, the Fresh Prince posted a video of himself in the Cayman Islands sort of mimicking the lyrics to “La Bamba,” the Mexican folk song that Ritchie Valens popularized. In the comments section, people made fun of Will for not knowing the lyrics. So on Monday, he came back with a new video to quiet his haters.

“Some of y’all were roasting me in the comments for not knowing the words to La Bamba the other day…,” he captioned the video.

After loudly singing along, Will looks directly at the camera and says, “Now, now, now.” This is the level of petty that I aspire to in life.
