DJ Jazzy Jeff defends Will Smith over Oscars slap

During the 2022 Academy Awards on 27 March, the King Richard actor walked onto the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock after he compared his wife Jada Pinkett Smith - who has the medical condition alopecia - to G.I. Jane. Appearing on Closed Sessions Legend Conversation recently, Smith's longtime collaborator Jazzy Jeff defended his friend. "Don't get it twisted that it was something he was proud of. It was a lapse in judgment, you know?" DJ Jazzy Jeff via Closed Sessions Legend Conversation.
