A$AP Rocky is the most recent in a legion of celebrities who have taken to the medium of their choice to discuss Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars. Recently, the rapper appeared on Drink Champs to give his thoughts on the situation and the aftermath.
Chris Rock Shuts Down ‘Fuck Will Smith’ Chant At Comedy Show
In the clip, A$AP says he believes the incident was a culmination of things that were building under the surface.
“I’m a fan of Will, Jada, Chris, all of them. They OGs,” Rocky said, as seen in the clip posted to Instagram. “I think it’s unfortunate that, like, he emasculated another Black man in front of all them people like that. But I do think that, like, it’s some built-up shit that probably wasn’t really targeted at Chris Rock. I don’t know. … Like what you said, it seems like it’s more than just a G.I. Jane joke.”
The aftermath has fed a voracious news cycle with continuous speculation about the details immediately following the incident, especially how ceremony officials initially responded. In an interview with Good Morning America on Friday, Oscars producer Will Packer recalled the moment from his perspective, revealing that Rock “did not get to one joke” that was initially planned as part of his appearance at the ceremony as a presenter.
“He was just immediately freestyling,” Packer told Good Morning America of Chris Rock’s approach that night.
For his part, Rocky is avoiding any drama of late. Recently, the New York Post reported that A$AP Rocky was spotted at One Vanderbilt at an upscale affair that also included New York Mayor Eric Adams, Dr. Oz, Wyclef Jean and many others. Also, Rocky and girlfriend Rihanna are expecting a child any day. A$AP is also entering into a liquor venture with his Mercer whiskey.
send me all info
will all the way
Means you simpin all the way
maybe he was going to punch but still had some control. maybe it was staged. shouting like that i thought was worse.
It wasn’t staged retard, it’s pretty damn obvious by now. The cameras prove it was real and nobody had anything to gain from it either
Says the dude that wears skirts and rocks pearls and painted nails. Lol. Celebs just like to look like they’re socially aware. Not to mention you rap about shooting N*ggas! Please stfu.
He may wear skirts and painted nails but he’s fkin Rihanna.
@foh Rocky smashing a fine billionaire and Will Smith cucked by a milk dud. Obviously one of them is winning
ASAP got a rocky opinion
I thought drink champs is all about giving legends their flowers, is rocky a legend in hip-hop? I guess getting riri pregnant makes you a legend automatically.
Since when has it been about “giving legends their flowers”?? You call French Montana, Trinidad Lames etc. legends? They have had lots of legends on that show but plenty of bums too
Will is being emasculated by his wife so he took out his aggression on a small dude like Chris Rock because he’s being publicly cucked and humiliated by her
nobody real in rap – they all simp. respect to will. he has has billions his awards AND his self-respect unlike these bitch made industry simps
The simpest thing you could do is slap a man over a woman who’s slept around during your marriage and emasculated you during multiples interviews and then cry and apologize on TV for it. Will Smith is a soy boy beta cuck at its finest
again with the homo logic – trying to make it seem like a man shouldn’t defend his wife from bullies. Will made the man’s decision and he will be rewarded handsomely for it. schlocky can look forward to being riri’s doormat for the next 16 years
She openly cheated on him making a mockery of Will and they marriage and you’re praising him for staying in the relationship and even defending her? Son you is a super cuck and simp
lol how does a man know so much about another man’s marital affairs and yet have such an aggressive miltaristic tone? crazy. you are caring about everything wrong. you’re like a guy who thinks if he makes a blog about it people won’t think your interest in tin foil hats makes you crazy just a blogger
How is simply making a little joke equate to bullying? Y’all are oversensitive as hell. Stay in kindergarten if you actually find that bullying.
you not gonna prosper with other people name in your mouth. you gonna get hurt like that. and in real life nobody gone defend a loser with a fat lip
Will Smith’s decision, as a man, was met with numerous rewards. Such rewards include immense guilt to the point of crying, massive criticism and ridicule by the public and the officials themselves, bunches of memes that mocked the event that transpired, and having to voluntarily resign from his position, all thanks to his decision, as a man, to take a violent approach over a minor joke, since a joke is another form of bullying his wife, who cheated on him multiple times and stated it as a way of feeling good since Will Smith can’t do so. Certainly something to look up to.
a real man does not care about the marital affairs of another you can type for the next 100 years nothing will change that basic human fact of existence. a real man does not care about Will Smith’s private affairs with his wife and mistresses.
Why everything have to be about color, why black ppl so racist??
Some of these psychologists below in the comments should stfu, who give a fuck what Wills underlying story is, he caught feelings from a joke, couldn’t handle his shit and enter captain save a ho
Some neighborhood kid in Memphis posted a “joke” about Young Dolph getting shot online and a week later dude was dead. Ain’t nobody crying about dude’s divine right as a “comedian” to say whatever he wanted as long as he was hoping for a laugh. The fact is Chris Rock is a “comedian” because white folks say so, not because of anything he actually does onstage funny or not. That’s why Will slapped him and that’s why Ye gone off script. Internet is changing things and we are seeing decisions being made in real time
CHRIS ROCK WAS NOT EMASCULATED BY THIS. HE KEPT HIS COOL AND WAS A CLASS ACT ABOUT IT. YOU IGNORANT FOOL.
