Everyone has an opinion on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Everyone. Every single person.
Questlove says he missed the viral moment when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at last week’s Oscars because he was meditating.At the Oscars ceremony on Sunday (March 27), Smith struck the comedian on-stage following a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. In 2018, Pinkett Smith revealed she has alopecia.Minutes after the incident, Questlove was awarded Best Documentary for his film Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) by Rock, but admitted that he had no idea what had just transpired on stage.He told Jimmy Fallon: “They tell you ahead of time, this is your category, and so, in that moment, you’re either going to be full of anxiety or, for me, I’ve been like meditating for the past couple of years.“And when the commercial break happened, I was in my ‘Mmmm.’ So when I opened my eyes, I didn’t realise.
