Will Smith Shouldn’t Have Punched Chris Rock, It Was Beneath Him – Linda Ikeji Says

Nigerian billionaire blogger, Linda Ikeji has given her two cents on the altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars award.

KOKO TV news reported that Will Smith gave the world something controversial to talk about when he attacked comedian, Chris Rock on stage for joking about his wife’s health condition.

Jada who suffers from alopecia had to cut off her hairs and Chris Rock decided to make fun of it.

To protect and defend his wife, Will Smith slapped the comedian on stage and this has elicited mixed reactions from many.

Weighing in, Linda Ikeji agreed with many, that the actor’s action was uncalled for and beneath him.

She noted how Will Smith had always carried himself with grace and at such, his unthoughtful action had tainted his image.

What was supposed to be the best night of his career became a disaster with his action.

“I personally think Will Smith should not have slapped Chris Rock. Will carries himself with grace so this was beneath him. It also wasn’t the time or place. After nearly four decades in entertainment, this was his big night, now completely overshadowed by his behavior….which should never be tolerated (I hope the Oscars do something about it).

Now imagine if Chris Rock decides to file charges Will Smith will be arrested possibly handcuffed, TMZ will be there to capture the images and videos. There will be a mugshot, going to trial for months and maybe do community service if not jail time.

All of this will impact on all his achievements and accomplishments. This is what people will remember more than anything else. I love Will but this behavior isn’t okay. And like he rightfully said, it’s at your highest points that the devil will try it. Don’t let the devil win. I hope God heals everyone involved”.
