Mic On? Social Media Reacts To Chet Hanks’ Vocals
Social media users rushed to The Shade Room’s comment section to humorously weigh in on the actor’s latest cover.

While Instagram user @asiasomethingelse referred to when Hanks went viral for speaking Patois at the 2020 Golden Globes, “I need him to do that Jamaican accent actually.” Here’s What Summer Walker Has Recently Been Up To
Sumer Walker has yet to weigh in on Hanks’ vocals. However, her fans are definitely ready for the singer to return with her own. According to Pitchfork, Walker’s last project, ‘Clear 2: Soft Life EP,’ was released in May 2023.
Since then, fans have not held back with their pleas for another album from her.
Additionally, fans are also hoping that the singer will continue to collaborate with rapper Sexyy Red.
Fans may actually get their wish as the singer recently took to Instagram to show that she was posted up with the rapper.
“Now we both got pictures pregnant together lol,” Walker wrote in the caption of her post.
