DJ Drama References Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock on New Dreamville Mixtape

Drama and J. Cole’s Dreamville’s roster released the new project D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape on Thursday (March 31), which is heavily narrated by Mr. Thanksgiving. On the Wyldefyre-produced track “Starting 5” featuring Omen, Lute and Cozz, Drama closes out the song with a rant that references the Will Smith smack seen around the world.

Will Smith openly hand-slapped Chris Rock at the 94th annual Oscars on March 27 for making an insensitive G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett Smith—who suffers from alopecia, a medical diagnosis that causes hair loss. The internet was going nuts for close to a week following the slap. The incident has been the topic of social media debates, endless memes and myriad think pieces dedicated to the wild moment.

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” Will said of the slap. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”
