DJ Jazzy Jeff is still speaking on his friend Will Smith and Chris Rock's infamous Oscars slap back in March. Jazzy Jeff said that it wouldn't have mattered if it was Mike Tyson on stage, Will still would have slapped him.
He told the FAQ Podcast, “When it happened and I saw him walk up there, the one thing I would say – ’cause I’ve had people say, ‘Oh he wouldn’t have done that to no gangsta.' Let me tell you something about Will. Will is somebody that cliff dove in Jamaica and couldn’t swim. Will was the person that whatever he’s afraid of, he runs to. I ain’t got that in me. I don’t have that in me at all. I’ve watched Will almost die numerous times running straight.”
He continued, “Will would’ve slapped Mike Tyson. It did not matter who was there. Will would’ve got his a** beat, but he was going to do what he was going to do regardless of who it was. It wasn’t for fake. It wasn’t for show. I have to protect. If that was a grizzly bear, he would have did it. I know him.”
