Boston rapper Michael Christmas is at the center of a viral moment after a casual comment online led to an official remix of Will Smith’s new single, “Pretty Girls.”
The single which dropped last Friday has quickly sparked mixed reactions on social media.
Michael Christmas, known for his laid-back humor and internet presence, didn’t dismiss the track—but offered a specific note:
“This is just a tempo issue,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“Speed it up to 1.25 or slow it down to .75 and watch, much more fire song.”
The suggestion spread quickly. Fans began adjusting the tempo and sharing their edits online. The sped-up version in particular gained momentum, with many noting that it brought new life to the track.
Shortly after, Smith himself acknowledged the buzz. On his Instagram, the rapper-actor shared:
“It’s official! ‘Pretty Girls’ the sped up @michaelchristmas remix is streaming everywhere now!!”
The track, now credited as the “Michael Christmas Remix,” is available across major platforms.
The remix marks a viral moment rooted in instinct, humor, and timing — and one that officially puts a Boston stamp on Will Smith’s return to music.
