Nicki Minaj shows love to Chris Rock, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Last night at the 94th annual Academy awards, Will Smith won his first-ever Oscar for his role in the Williams’ sister movie “King Richard”. However, the long due moment was overshadowed by one other incident, in which the actor slapped comedian Chris Rock for joking about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. “Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth,” he shouted.

The actor later apologized for smacking Chris Rock, as he addressed his during his speech. “I want to be a vessel for love,” said Smith after winning the Oscar. “I want to be an ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern. I want to apologize to the academy. I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. … Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said … about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things. … Thank you. I hope the academy invites me back.”

The celebrities had been reacting to the viral moment throughout the night, and now Nicki Minaj also shares her views in a series of tweets. “I love Chris Rock. I don’t think he would’ve made that joke had he known what Jada recently shared- but between him & the whole team @ the #Oscars you mean to tell me not ONE of y’all heard this woman just share this heartbreaking story?,” she wrote.
She continues, “The husband gets a front row seat to his wife’s pain… he’s the 1 consoling her… drying her tears behind closed doors when those cameras go off. Social media has made ppl feel that these “husbands” won’t ever run into them in real life. You just got to witness in real time what happens in a man’s soul when he looks over to the woman he loves & sees her holding back tears from a “little joke” at her expense. This is what any & every real man feels in that instant. while y’all seeing the joke he’s seeing her pain.”
“Imagine what it must feel like to be losing your hair to the point where you have to shave it bald. You think that’s easy to deal with for anyone? You don’t think she’s cried about that many times? 2022 y’all gon have to see these men about those jokes you made about their wives.”
Many other celebrities have expressed sympathy for Smith’s zealous defence of his wife, including Cardi B’s husband Offset, who said he would have done the same. “I feel you will smack the Sh*t out one you n****s bout my wife on national tv,” he tweeted. “Will smith the greatest to do it,” the Migos rapper said He also retweeted a message from Hot 97 DJ Ebro that warned, “Don’t play with people’s wives and sh*t… kids too.”
