Will Smith Addresses Chris Rock Oscars Slap on New Album: ‘My S— Still Hot Even Though I Won’t Get Nominated’


Will Smith confronts slapping Chris Rock on the Oscars stage on his new solo album 'Based on a True Story.'

The song, which features Smith’s Fresh Prince collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff and B. Simone, sees differently-pitched voices trade rumors and opinions about the actor and rapper in a freestyle manner. The song later references Smith’s infamous response to Rock’s joke with the line: “Him and Jada both crazy girl, what you talkin’ bout?/ You better keep his wife’s name out of your mouth.” Months later, Smith navigated a limited promotional cycle for his next prestige picture, Apple’s historical drama “Emancipation.” Last summer, he co-starred with Martin Lawrence in “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” the fourth entry in Sony’s buddy cop franchise was a box office hit, earning more than $400 million worldwide.
