So, back in Oscar 2016, right before the awards, Will Smith‘s wife Jada Pinkett Smith had announced that she would not attend the award show due to the lack of diversity among the nominees. Citing to this, Chris Rock during his monologue took an unwanted jibe at her by saying, “Jada got mad, said she’s not coming. Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s p*nties. I wasn’t invited.”
During that time, the comedian also went on to take a dig at Will who at that year was not receive a nomination for his film Concussion. Joking on it, Rock said, “It’s not fair that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated. It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West.”
