As the whole oscars drama continues to make headlines with Chris Rock’s special comedy digs, Will Smith chooses music over it all!
The American actor is still trying to come to terms with the aftermath of the scene he caused during the 94th Academy Awards, where he slapped the “Everybody Hates Chris” star for making comments about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Although he has taken steps to rectify the mistake – issuing a public apology and resigning from the Academy, the comedian remains unhappy. In fact, Rock expressed his sadness at the infamous incident during a recent stand-up performance, where he addressed it at length. While the project is making waves online, there has yet to be a direct response from Smith, who is focusing on his music.
Will Smith Puts Music First While Chris Rock Grills Him In Comedy Special
In a recent Instagram post, the producer channeled his musical roots and shared a video of himself spitting some bars with a talented bassist and drummer. The “Men in Black” star sang his song “Just the Two of Us,” which was inspired by Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr.’s love song. with the same title.
After rapping his verse, he ends the video with a gleeful laugh, apparently excited for the chance to flex his skills. He then wrote in the caption, “Wow!! @ellenplaysbass, this is GREAT. You are the sweetest! Tagging @jacross @elewrockjazz… Put something on it.”
The video was well received by his followers, who seconded the comment to give him credit. The young bassist led the rest by expressing her appreciation for the iconic star’s caption, “❤️❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU ?.”
One older fan took it upon himself to remind everyone that the “Independence Day” star is nothing new at this by stating, “OK PEOPLE you forgot he’s a rapper with 4 Grammys this song is classic KIDS.”
As expected, several people also decided to address her ongoing drama with Rock and praised her for handling it well. Like this person who wrote, “You are a classy and generous man, Mr. Smith. We all fail, and God grants us, Grace! You NEVER tear others down to make yourself feel validated ❤️❤️❤️??.”
A third felt that Smith refused to deal with things on purpose and remarked, “Will, I love how you really don’t care.” While other users just want to tell him that he deserves grace regardless of his actions and tell the musician that they love him and that his mistakes don’t define him.
The reason they addressed the drama before even though it’s been over a year since it happened may be because of Chris Rock’s recently released comedy special. The show reportedly included several jokes at Smith’s expense, and The Blast shared that he not only made jokes about the slap, he also shaded Pinkett’s famous “engagement.”
The 58-year-old opened up to the live audience and expressed his refusal to be considered a victim and instead wanted to continue and focus on his work in comedy despite the pain he was feeling at the time.
