It's been three years since Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, and the rapper and actor seems to be reflecting on the moment in his latest release.

Earlier this week, the Academy Award-winning actor, 56, appeared on Fire in the Booth with British DJ Charlie Sloth, where he seemingly referenced the viral moment from 2022 with the comedian, 60.

During verse two of his freestyle, Smith raps: "If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the stage."

"Jokers dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it/ City full of real ones, wasn't raised to fake it," the Philadelphia native continues.

While Smith did not mention Rock by name, his words were reminiscent of the 2022 Academy Awards where the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star left his seat, walked on stage and physically struck Rock on live television, moments after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's hair.

As he was introducing the award for Best Documentary, Rock incorporated Pinkett Smith, 53, into his commentary while making note of her bald head.

"Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can't wait to see ya," Rock said of his Madagascar costar, who has alopecia and has been open about her "issues with hair loss."

Rock appeared to be visibly stunned after the slap.

"Keep my wife's name out your f---ing mouth!" Smith yelled up to the stage at Rock after taking his seat again.

The King Richard star later issued a public apology to Rock.

"Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive," Smith wrote, in part, on Instagram. "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."

Smith then resigned from the Academy and was banned from attending their ceremonies for the next 10 years.

Several months after the incident, in July 2022, Rock said that although the slap "hurt," he was "not a victim."

In March 2025, Smith released Based on a True Story — his first album in 20 years — and seemed to reference the slap on two different tracks.
