Oscar 2022: Nicki Minaj Speaks As Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock Over Jada joke

Ace rapper, Nicki Minaj has spoken on the incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars award. Recall that Will Smith, before he won Best Actor for his role in ‘King Richard’, slapped presenter, Chris Rock for joking about his wife, Jada Pinkett.

Chris Rock, presenting the award for best documentary, said “Jada I love you, ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ cannot wait to see it.” Minutes after, Will Smith walked up to the stage and slapped Rock, warning him not to mention his wife’s name, as he returned to his seat.

Reacting, Nicki Minaj on her Twitter page said she doesn’t think Rock would have made the joke if he knew about Jada’s predicament.

”I love Chris Rock. I don’t think he would’ve made that joke had he known what Jada recently shared- but between him & the whole team @ the #Oscars you mean to tell me not ONE of y’all heard this woman just share this heartbreaking story?#ComeOnSon”

The husband gets a front row seat to his wife’s pain… he’s the one consoling her… drying her tears behind closed doors when those cameras go off. Social media has made people feel that these “husbands” won’t ever run into them in real life.”

“You just got to witness in real time what happens in a man’s soul when he looks over to the woman he loves & sees.

Meanwhile, the man at the center of this controversy, Will Smith, has rendered public apology to Chris Rock, the Academy producer, all attendees and those who saw the action on TV. He admitted the fact that, he crossed the line on the night.
