A year after Will Smith&#039;s controversy at the oscars

A Year After Chris Rock Slap Controversy, Juicy J Dishes on Will Smith&#8217;s 2006 Oscars Meltdown

It has been a year since the infamous Oscar incident between Chris Rock and Will
Smith [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/]happened. However, the
controversy refuses to die down. Smith found himself on the receiving end of a
wave of backlash after the 2022 Oscars and even got banned from all the Academy
Awards for 10 years. However, this incident proved to be advantageous for the
ratings of Oscar ceremonies which had been plummeting for a long time. Recently,
American rapper Juicy J opened up about his experience with Smith at the 2006
Academy Awards.

And, from what it seems, this is not the only time the Men In Black actor lost
his temper at the Oscars. Juicy J recalled a memory from the event and expressed
his disappointment with the way the 54-year-old greeted him after the awards. 


WILL SMITH HAS A HISTORY OF OSCAR DRAMA

The ‘Half On A Sack’ singer recently appeared on the Allison Interviews podcast
and recalled the time when his band, Three 6 Mafia, won at the Oscars. He
further went on to share how the Hancock actor was “mad” because the band got an
Oscar before him. The 48-year-old rapper, who had been a fan of Smith and grew
up listening to his music, expressed his honor to meet him. However, Smith had a
cold response to Juicy J’s gesture and said, “Man, what the hell? Y’all got one
before me?”



The rapper acknowledged the possibility of The Fresh Prince just tapping into
his comedic side. However, he highlighted the fact that Black Hollywood totally
ignored the band’s victory. While many Hollywood A-listers came forward to
congratulate Three 6 Mafia, the founder of the Southern Hip Hop group found it
weird how “Nobody Black” walked up to them. Nevertheless, the ‘I Don’t Mind’
singer didn’t let these things get his team down and celebrated their legendary
victory at the Oscars.

Academy Awards incident with Smith

CHRIS ROCK BROKE HIS SILENCE ON THE OSCAR CONTROVERSY

A few months back, Rock did a stand-up special at Baltimore’s Hippodrome
Theatre, where he finally addressed the elephant in the room. Addressing
people’s questions about why he didn’t do anything about the slap the actor said
his parents taught him not to “fight in front of white people”. Rock then went
on to reveal how he reached out to Smith during his fallout with Jada and that
Smith only hit him “because he could”. However, the Bad Boys star ate a humble
pie and apologized for his behavior.

A year after the incident, Smith made a public apology through his social media
channels, saying “I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you”. The Academy
Award winner acknowledged his shortcomings saying, “My behavior was unacceptable
and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.” Apart from Rock, Smith also took
the opportunity to apologize to the other nominees and winners at the Oscars for
tarnishing their moment.
