The 94th Academy Awards have been doing the rounds on the internet and it isn’t completely for the right reasons. The event witnessed a huge controversy when Will Smith slapped comedian and host Chris Rock, live on stage, over a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s medical condition.
Will Smith apologised for his actions while accepting his Best Actor Award for King Richard, but the night was marred by the drama. During all this chaos, a tweet from 2016 has emerged from a user named Jason, who predicted today’s incident.
The Twitter user was referring to Chris Rock’s joke in 2016 when the comedian made fun of the Smith couple boycotting the Oscars. Rock was quoted as saying, “Jada boycotting…Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties…I wasn’t invited!”
