Benzino had a few things to add on the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident, and what he said was quite interesting.
Benzino on Smith and Rock
According to Benzino, the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident could have turned out differently. In fact, Benzino believes the Smith could have suffered a similar fate to Tupac. The personality indicates Smith’s actions could lead him to death. In Benzino’s words
“People gotta understand, this is how 2Pac got killed.It was at an event, they seen somebody that supposedly took a chain, they jumped him. Then, later on, ‘Pac got shot up in a car. That shit could’ve happened to Will Smith!
Is Benzino Right?
It is possible events could have spiraled in a million different directions. Fortunately, things did not escalate beyond the current path, and Smith is alive and well. Hopefully, this is a comparison that is never to come up again.
The Unique Perspective
By now, everyone has recounted the Oscar debacle numerous times. Many people have commented on the matter. However, Benizo’s comment gives the masses a different angle to contemplate. The irony of the comparison to Tupac’s not lost on anyone. Everyone has become aware of the ties between former icon Tupac and Jada.
The Smith’s ties to Tupac
Some years ago, Will’s wife shared her endearing feelings for Tupac in a public poem. And a letter Jada penned to Tupac surfaced a while ago. In addition, a letter from young Willow addressed to Tupac was recently found to compound curiosity and deepen the link. However, these are remnants of a long time ago.
The Road Past the Oscars
So much has transpired since the Oscar incident. The list goes from Smith’s resignation to some of his productions put on hold. Regardless of what could have happened, we now bask in the possibilities of what can be. This was an unfortunate incident that should have never taken place. But, unfortunately, it happened, and is impossible to take back. However, there is much one can learn. We hope that the culmination of the matter will eventually overshadow that single moment.
