Will Smith is letting it all fly on his new album. And of course, he addresses the OSCARS slap. On the second track, “You Lookin’ for Me?” Smith gets right to it:
Took a lot, I’m back on top
Y’all gon’ have to get acclimated
Won’t stop, my shit still hot
Even though I won’t get nominated.”
The bar is a nod to the Oscars ban he is currently under.
You can hear the song below.
Chris Rock is willing to return as the Oscars host. Speaking with E! News at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Rock revealed he is open to the gig again.
“You never know. This is what I would say, the most miserable people on earth are people that can’t forgive,” Rock said. “And not just people, you have to forgive yourself sometimes. So, hey, you never know.”
When asked if he had reached forgiveness, presumably of Will Smith, Rock answered, “I live in forgiveness.”
