There was another bar many fans attempted to connect to Rock as Will Smith subliminally referred to a joker being able to dish it out, but not take it. “Jokers dish it out, cry foul when it’s time to take it/ City full of real ones, wasn’t raised to fake it,” Smith spews.

It’s not the first time Smith’s possibly made reference to the Chris Rock slap. He seemingly referenced the viral moment on his Based On a True Story album earlier this year. “Took a lot, I’m back on top, y’all gon’ have to get acclimatеd/ Won’t stop, my s–t’s still hot even though I won’t get nominatеd/ Personal life with my wife, mind your business, it’s complicated,” he raps on “You Lookin’ For Me?”

The album opener also consisted of different fan conversations speaking about various narratives from Smith’s decorated career. “Him and Jada both crazy, girl, what you talkin’ bout/ You better keep his wife’s name out of your mouth,” one person says on “Int. Barbershop — Day.”

Smith was hit with a 10-year ban from theAcademy Awardsforslapping Rock,which saw him tell the comic legend to “keep my wife’s name out of your f—ing mouth” following aG.I. Janejoke about Pinkett-Smith made by Rock.
