    I think I might be OOTL. Why does everyone here hate him? I know he slapped the comedian, but it didn’t seem SO unprovoked, and AFAIK its the only thing. It’s not great that he did that, but I wouldn’t hang him for that

      Unprovoked‽ Bro, dude is a known less than PC comedian they brought to HOST the ceremony. Idc if he said he fucked will Smith’s wife, that’s part of the act! Would say it’s unprovoked if some nobody walked on stage and slapped Jeff Acuri? Will Smith’s has suffered less than zero consequences as proven by this vanity tour.

      Asking he go to jail for a month or two isn’t calling for him to be hanged. It’s calling for actual consequences from someone who performed an entirely unprovoked act of violence. Anybody not famous would probably spend close to a year in jail if they did that to any performer.

      He’s very dated and shows no self awareness about that. He was always bland, fun rap, which is fine, but it’s not highly skilled. He also recently did a truly cringy music video where he’s in his 50s and perving after 20 year old. He just don’t seem to have moved forwards from the 90s
