Spencer Pratt releases Fresh Prince of Bel-Air themed campaign ad for Los Angeles mayor race
Spencer Pratt, a candidate challenging incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, released a campaign ad parodying the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song. The ad references his house burning down in the 2025 Palisades fire and includes imagery of him spray-painting 'They let us burn.' The ad emerged amid reports that Pratt was staying at a hotel while his wife and children lived elsewhere, contradicting claims he was living in a trailer at his destroyed home.
