Smith was booked as a hip-hop artist but during the concert, the audience was also treated to the unexpected Oscar segment, reports DR. With the statuette in hand, he stated that what should have crowned his career was actually about to ruin it.
The last few years of my life have been tough. During the evening that should have been the crowning of my career, something terribly wrong happened, said Will Smith according to DR.
It was during the Olympic Games gala 2022 that Will Smith stormed onto the stage and gave the evening's host Chris Rock a slap after the latter joked about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's hair loss.
Later that same evening, Smith received an Oscar for best actor for his role in "King Richard".
