Will Smith's Grammy Appearance Criticized Online After Oscar Scandal

Will Smith's appearance at the Grammy Awards has been criticized online, with users recalling an incident that occurred at the 2022 Oscars, when the actor hit Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife.

Not all viewers were positive about Smith's return after the "cancellation" due to the slapping scandal. Some criticized him for focusing on himself during the tribute. Others recalled the incident at the 2022 Oscars, when Smith slapped host Chris Rock for making an inappropriate joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. After that incident, the actor was expelled from the Academy and banned from participating in the Academy Awards for 10 years.

"How can Will Smith even introduce anyone on any TV show or awards ceremony? Hollywood doesn't even care", "Why the hell is Will Smith on my TV screen announcing anything? He doesn't deserve to be in the spotlight after he attacked Chris Rock", "Why is Will Smith at the Grammys? He shouldn't be at any awards ceremony anymore!" - the social network X (former Twitter) was outraged.

Will Smith performed at the 67th Grammy Awards to honor producer Quincy Jones, who passed away last November. In his speech, Smith noted Jones' influence on his career: "You probably wouldn't know who Will Smith is if it weren't for Quincy Jones." He described how Quincy changed his life by producing the series "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," which brought Smith widespread fame.

Recall that in 2022, a scandal erupted at the Oscars ceremony with Will Smith. Smith did not like a joke made on stage about his wife, and he publicly slapped the host, comedian Chris Rock. The actor later apologized, but this did not convince the public, and Smith took a forced break from his career.
