The American actor and rapper Will Smith refers to the famous slap that gave Chris Rock in the 2022 Oscar gala in his new album ‘Based on a True Story’, in which he marks his return to music after a 20 -year hiatus.

Subsequently, one of the accompanying voices adds: “I heard that he won the Oscar but had to return it”, referring to the award for best actor he obtained in 2022 in ‘King Richards’ (‘The Wiliams method’) shortly after giving him a slap in the face of the comedian Chris Rock during the retransmission of the gala.
Smith slapped Rock as a reaction to a joke he made about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who was sitting among the public. When the actor returned to his seat, he shouted: “Keep my wife’s name outside your fucking mouth!”
