J Balvin ‘Felt’ Will Smith’s ‘Pain’ After Infamous Slap: ‘A Mistake Cannot Define You’


J Balvin said he related to the 'pain' Will Smith went through after facing criticism for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.

In an interview with Rolling Stone Tuesday, the Colombian musician revealed why he felt very “connected” to the actor, since both of them went through intense criticism around the same time in 2022. You cannot judge a person for some mistakes,” he told Rolling Stone, referring to the backlash Smith faced for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Balvin released his comeback album Rayo on Friday, while Smith returned to his role in Bad Boys for a sequel called Ride or Die.
