Although a majority of the people were united under the comments on Will Smith’s Instagram post, some reminded the actor about his Oscar slap controversy. The actor had slapped comedian Chris Rock during the 2021 Oscars when the former made a joke about Smith’s wife.

Many people forgave the actor when he posted the photo with Pelé but Will Smith’s latest movie titled Emancipation was received with heavy backlash. Depicting the story of a slave that was on a run from his master, Emancipation received an all-time low earning with barely $3000 per theatre screen. As the world crosses another year off its list, there would be some major highlights in the upcoming year. The world will indeed remember Pelé for being the greatest footballer of all time and for being there when the world looked up to him.
