The Twitter timeline is still exploding with reactions to Will Smith and Chris Rock’s altercation at the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday night (March 27). Rock attempted to make a joke at Jada Pinkett’s expense, calling her “G.I. Jane” due to her bald head. But either he didn’t get the memo or didn’t care about Pinkett’s alopecia, an autoimmune diseases that causes hair loss. The actress has been vocal about her struggles with the condition since 2018 when she revealed her diagnosis.
While many understood why Smith defended his wife, others thought it was in poor taste, especially on live television. But Nicki Minaj falls into the former category. On Monday morning (March 28), the self-described Black Barbie shared several tweets expressing her take on the situation.
“I love Chris Rock,” she began. “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 1 consoling her… drying her tears behind closed doors when those cameras go off. Social media has made ppl feel that these ‘husbands’ won’t ever run into them in real life.”
The second the G.I. Jane jab flew out of Chris Rock’s mouth, the look on Jada Pinkett’s face noticeably changed from happy to visibly offended. While Smith initially laughed, his wife’s look likely prompted him to march up to the stage and slap Rock across the face. Once back in his seat, he repeated, “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth!” In an uncensored clip of the confrontation, Rock humbly replied, “I’m going to, OK?”
Will Smith's 1st Oscar Could Possibly Be Stripped Over Chris Rock Incident
Nicki spoke about that moment in another tweet, writing, “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 her holding back tears from a ‘little joke’ at her expense. This is what any & every real man feels in that instant. while y’all seeing the joke he’s seeing her pain.”
She added, “Imagine what it must feel like to be losing your hair to the point where you have to shave it bald. You think that’s easy to deal with for anyone?” You don’t think she’s cried about that many times? 2022 y’all gon have to see these men about those jokes you made about their wives.”
Following the slap, Smith won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his work in King Richard, his first. While he didn’t directly apologize to Rock in his speech, he did express regret over causing a scene.
“And I know to do what we do, you gotta be able to take abuse, you gotta be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business, you gotta have people disrespecting you and you gotta smile and you gotta pretend that it’s ok …. I want to apologize to the Academy, I wanna apologize to all my fellow nominees.
“This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me. It’s about being able to shine a light on all of the people … art imitates life. I look like the crazy father. Love will make you do crazy things.”
While Smith was able to collect his Oscar during the ceremony, there’s a chance he could have it stripped. The Academy of of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a strict policy that prohibits any kind of violence.
“It’s basically assault,” an insider told The New York Post. “Everyone was just so shocked in the room, it was so uncomfortable. I think Will would not want to give his Oscar back, but who knows what will happen now.”
This is the reason why the black community is so violent. Black boys being raised by single, unwed women who always resort to unnecessary violence to solve their problems.
You sound soooo stupid!! I can also come at you and say this is when the white community pay and buy college entries for their kids because they ‘re not educated enough to get in on their own!! I am proud that Will Smith a Black Man stood up for his wife and slapped tha taste out of Chris Rock’s mouth for being disrespectful!
Both Chris and Will grew up in 2 parent households, the fuck are you talking about?
“And they say it’s the white man I should fear, but it’s my own kind doing all the killing here.” – 2Pac
The most violent people in the history of this planet aren’t black. And most of ya’ll had both parents too…
Oh shut up nicki. Men suffer from it more than women. Nobody bat’s an eyelid. A woman gets alopecia and the world ends. It was a light joke and will was weak for that. Chris rock was the one I respected because he handled it with maturity.
Wait till your wife loses her hair because of a disease and someone makes a joke out of it in front of 20 million people. Oh that’s right, you’re still just a virgin with baby nuts.
Oh no, a woman loses her hair. Unless she’s battling cancer, you sound like a sensitive little bitch crying about it. Women shave their heads but going balled is such a crime. You’re as weak as Will and Nikki with her pedo brother
It’s always a place and time for crap and Chris walking on stage, didn’t greet the audience but when in on a Jada hair joke!! Good for Will!! Because Chris have been talkin crap about the Smith’s at the Oscars for a minute now!! Question is.. Did Chris understand the memo this time!! Your humor doesn’t have to be a someone’s expense!! I agree with Nicki this time..
There’s a time and place for everything, and there definitely wasn’t a time for him to go up there in the middle of the Oscars and slap him. Will should have kept himself professional and tactful like his wife, who only looked slightly annoyed since she was able to control herself, and kept himself quiet so that Chris would look like the bigger fool and take whatever little backlash he was gonna get like he sometimes does with his other dumb shticks. But now Will looks much worse. He looked a lot more sensitive, unpredictable, and irrational with what he did. That’s why he later went up there and cried after. All of this was embarrassing as hell and he looked pathetic, and it’s all in the Oscars. This ain’t no ordinary place and event. lmao Y’all can have your opinions, but it doesn’t mean we won’t call ya dumb as hell, like Nicki is looking like right now.
People in jail right now for the same thing or something similar. Only rich folks get away with this crap. Keep your hands to yourself or end up 6 feet deep. Double Dog Dare him to try that with a NINJA in the streets. Ain’t no fight fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop it. People get put in cuffs and release within an hour for slapping ppl, assuming they pressed charges unlike Chris rock
This the type of chick who demands you stand up for her honor and will go fuck a next nigga while you locked up.
If she can see the pain in that throw backs face why she couldn’t see the pain in her step niece face after being raped multiple times by her brother? She was a kid for Christ sakes…
Retire already Nicki!
Will saw that look of anger and decided to do some impromptu acting. All that sh!t Jada’s put him through gotta be psychologically unbearable. he best shake that h0, the hell with losing half, gain your peace Will
Nicki dumb AF
YOU WISH A MAN WOULD FIGHT FOR YOU BUT YOU ONLY FIGHT FOR LOWLIVES LIKE MR PETTY, SIXNINE, AND YOUR SCUMBAG BROTHER.
Am I only the only one that thought this whole was staged and bs. ??
It’s done exactly what’s it’s meant to do and got everyone talking about the Oscar’s .
No, you’re not the only idiot that thinks this is staged. There’s a lot of dumbasses out there just like you. People will talk about the Oscars no matter what. They don’t need to stage some ridiculous spectacle so retards like Chunker99 will talk about it. Use your brain, you slobbering mutant fuck.
I’m not saying he should’ve slap’d him, but I understand.
this all bs , vain about looks and hair , i had alopecia in my mid 30s .. get bald jokes all the time , never trip nor had any of my girls trip on the next women for a joke , there is a more underlying reason for this ..
Sure buddy, none of your “girls” tripped on the next women. You’re a 52 year old virgin with dick cancer. I hope your testicles fall off and you slip on em and crack your stupid bald head on the floor. JOKES BITCH!!!!!

This is a woman who has two p*dos in her family, her brother and her husband. Of course she wouldn’t want to be made fun about that fact in the next BET awards lol. Now coming to Will Smith, that’s the fakest family in Hollywood. All of them are attention w_hores. Will speaks in a loud tone to subdue voices around him, Jada has had affairs with basically everybody remotely famous, willow still doesn’t know where she stands and jaden tries to act like he should be respected irrespective of his family. Will is a c*uck for still having jada around. I lose testosterone just by looking at him.
