At the Grammys on Sunday, the hosts took the chance to make subtle digs at Will Smith’s already-infamous altercation at the Oscars. The 94th Academy Awards saw milestone wins for CODA, but it was overshadowed by one event - after Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia, Will walked on stage and slapped him.
Grammys host Trevor Noah made a subtle jab at the Oscar winner in his opening monologue at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas by saying “we’re going to keep people’s names out of our mouth.” Trevor, 38, quipped: “We’re going to be listening to some music, we’re going to be dancing, we’re going to be singing, we’re going to be keeping names out of people’s mouths and we’re going to be giving out awards.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and reality tv news straight to your inbox with OK! daily newsletter .

The presenter was referring to Will’s response to Chris as he sat back down after the slap and shouted up to the comedian: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth.” Later on in the show, Questlove came on to present the Song of the Year award and alluded to the Oscars slap. Questlove, 51, also won the Oscar for Best Documentary for Summer of Soul moments after the Will and Chris altercation as Chris was on stage to present that award.
Questlove walked to the podium and said: “Alright, I’m going to present this award and I trust that you people are going to stay 500 feet away from me.” Become an OK!
