On her talk show, the 56-year-old host joked around with the audience about him  his online presence and appearance  for a while before revealing he was killed. Williams, instead of getting right to the heart of the topic, starts off her segment on Swavy by saying how she has no idea who this person is and neither does one person in this building.  She then put up a photo of the TikToker and asked her audience if anyone knew of him and told them to clap if they did. Only a select few audience members did, and then she asked DJ Suss, and he told her: Its not my cup of tea that I got going on right now, before he chuckled and the audience chuckled. Williams then added a few more details about him, but only to say that hes a TikTok star and has more followers than me, 2.5million.  Her producer clarified that he had more TikTok followers but she has more Instagram followers, leading the whole crowd to clap for her. As far as TikTok, I dont use that, at all, Williams said. I dont know what that is, I dont want to be involved.  After everyone laughed some more, the longtime host pointed up to the image of Swavy again, said, Here he is, and proceeded to look him up and down multiple times, as if shes making fun of how he looks, making the audience laugh again.
