'Fool Alec Baldwin took a woman’s life & got sympathy': The Game calls Oscars RACIST for wanting to discipline Will Smith
Rapper The Game has decided to speak up on the Will Smith slapgate. All hell broke loose after Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards after Rock made a "GI Jane 2" joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's baldness. There is an ongoing debate regarding the consequences of Will's actions and the 'Hate It Or Love It' rapper decided to weigh in.
The rapper has accused the Academy of being racist for seeking disciplinary actions against Smith. He took to his Instagram on Wednesday and said, "They didn't even want to give it to him in the first place… he acted off impulse & imposed a slap down out of frustration & embarrassment on behalf of his wife."

He continued, "Most people with opinions on the situation don’t have a committed relationship let alone a marriage of over 20 years to weigh against his feelings in the matter." The rapper went on to say, "He’s human & comedy is not always an excuse to publicly humiliate people especially while sitting front & center. Although violence anywhere is & should always be depicted in a negative light, this was a lul ass slap in defense of a woman battling a very delicate health issue."
The Game further added, "I’ll close by saying, they don’t want us to be equal, never have & never will…. This fool Alec Baldwin took a woman’s life on set & got sympathy from the same Hollywood that is trying to condemn one of our greatest actors in history. It just so happens that he’s black !!!! Harvey Weinstein didn’t have to forfeit any accolades or awards & Roman Polanski was guilty of having sex with a minor & then vanished, became a fugitive & was still given an award. un-related to Hollywood but still an example of white privilege, Kyle whatever tf his name is killed people purposely & didn’t get a single day in prison… but y’all investigating a pimp slap… foh fr fr…."
In conclusion, the rapper said, "We ain’t gone ever wake up. And really, behind closed doors they’re all laughing at our black ass, cause low & behold they probably wrote the joke in Chris’s prompt and set them both up….. oh’ & 100 years after Emmett Till’s gruesome hanging… "
Talking about the current laws and leadership, he said, "The now president signs an anti lynching law… so what that mean for the other 100,000 + lynchings done before then and along the way ??? They weren’t illegal ? Mannnn…. Stop expecting them to ever view us as humans too…. We wayyyyyy too nice. Nuts how we got billionaire black folk & cant just come together & create other BIGGER platforms in addition to what we already have that really gives us the true glory we deserve. Maybe next life time……@willsmith".
Meanwhile, the Academy revealed that they tried to remove Will from the Oscars following his assault on Rock, but the actor refused to leave. "Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated," the organization said in a statement on Wednesday. "While we would like to clarify that Mr Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently."
They added that "consistent with the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, as well as California law, Mr. Smith is being provided at least 15 days' notice of a vote regarding his violations and sanctions, and the opportunity to be heard beforehand by means of a written response."
They said disciplinary action for Will could include suspension, expulsion or other sanctions.
