Will Smith sparks fury as he breaks cover at the Grammys after Chris Rock slap Viewers tuning into the Grammy Awards on Sunday night were furious when Will Smith walked up on stage to pay tribute to Quincy Jones.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the time, he said: "We don’t have the problem with the Grammy as an award or the Grammys as an institution, we just had a problem with the 1989 design of the awards show.
one confused fan commented while one posted: "How is Will Smith still allowed at award shows, let alone allowed to present?".
After Chris made a joke about Will's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, he took to the stage and slapped the star across the face.
In 1989, Will and musical partner DJ Jazzy Jeff boycotted the show after finding out the presentation of the award for the new category of best rap performance wouldn't be televised.
