Will Smith is addressing the infamous moment when he slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars in his new music. The actor and rapper has released his first album in nearly two decades titled “Based on a True Story.” The 56-year-old includes lyrics about the shocking moment throughout the 14-track project. In the opening track, a person can be heard saying, “Will Smith is cancelled.” On another track titled, “You Lookin’ for Me?” Smith raps, “Took a lot, I’m back on top/ Y’all gon’ have to get acclimated/ Won’t stop, my shit still hot/ Even though I won’t get nominated.” While Smith is not barred from being nominated, he was banned from attending Academy events for 10 years and resigned his Academy membership after the incident.
