Chet Hanks appeared on Instagram this week to once again declare that it will be a ‘white boy summer,’ a term he coined in 2021.
The 33-year-old social media figure, whose father is Tom Hanks, shared a post with her 547,000 followers on Monday in which she made the statement.
It comes amid Chet going viral for explaining Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rap beef to his famous father in a recent social media post.
When he first used the term, Chet was mercilessly mocked online, with one social media user joking, “Someone tell Chet Hanks that we’re already several thousand years into a white boy summer.”
In his latest post, Chet wore a white crew-neck t-shirt and rectangular sunglasses with clear frames and lenses with a subtle blue tint.
The star also wore a Cuban link chain and diamond earrings while sitting inside a Ferrari with black leather seats.
Chet wrote in the caption: “I checked with the heavens, I felt a westward breeze, I walked outside a strip club and saw my shadow… this is going to be a #WBS #iHaveSpoken.”
Chet Hanks appeared on Instagram this week to once again declare that it will be a ‘white boy summer,’ a term he coined back in 2021.
Chet sported a haircut in his selfie and also sported a blonde beard.
It comes several years after the personality joined Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer campaign.
At that time, he clarified that the name of his ‘movement’ is not racial in nature, and that it does not refer to ‘Trump and Nascar type whites.’
The phrase attracted attention despite his claim that it is about “good vibes.”
Hanks also defended his wardrobe staple: a white ribbed tank top, which some colloquially refer to as a “wife beater.”
The actor stated in 2021: ‘Someone also asked me if we could ban those who beat their wives.’ What if we’re talking about real people who beat their wives? Yeah.
‘If we talk about sleeveless t-shirts? Absolutely not. I don’t know anything more White Boy Summer than a wife beater.
He also made it clear that “prejudice” is not “white boy summer.”
‘You know what’s not white boy summer? Having ill will or prejudice towards someone of a different background, race or lifestyle than your own, you know?… That’s not White Boy Summer, my friend. That’s the shit we have to elevate and get rid of, straight up… Because the real vibe is having nothing but good vibes towards everyone,” he noted.

Days ago, Chet took to social media to share a humorous exchange with his iconic actor father.
Tom, 67, reached out to his son via iMessage to ask him to explain the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
Chet happily accepted, breaking up the exchange between the two rappers, which sent the internet into a frenzy earlier this month.
Chet responded, “Yeah, so Drake and this other guy, J Cole, have been saying that they, along with Kendrick, are the ‘Big 3’ of rap.” Then Kendrick came out with a song that said, ‘Fuck the Big 3, it’s just ME,’ starting the fight.
Chet, one of Tom’s four sons, added: “Then Drake said, ‘You have small feet because you’re like 5-foot-5 or whatever.'” And then Kendrick said, ‘You’re a burned-out dad,’ and made fun of his Canadian accent.”
He continued passionately, “But it didn’t even matter because then Kendrick dropped another West Coast hit in which he really went about labeling Drake a pedophile, which was pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took .me to your school.” high school in Oakland and We walked into the basketball game and everyone started going crazy.
“Like if you heard it, you’d automatically know how to make Crip walk around with a stinky face while holding an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then punch him and say ‘Town Bidness,’ which solidified the win not just for Kendrick but the entire west coast.
