Will Smith feud with Chris Rock may have been years in the making leading up to the Oscars slap.
When Rock hosted the Academy Awards in 2016, he devoted a portion of his monologue to Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. At the time, "Saturday Night Live" alum poked fun at the actress’ plans to boycott the ceremony due to the lack of diversity among the nominees.
"Jada went mad... Jada said she’s not coming," Rock said during his opening monologue. "Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited."
