Will Smith's slap resurfaces at the Grammys

The slap given by Will Smith to Chris Rock during the evening of Oscars of March 27 has also continued to (subtly) make people talk. In a tone of humor, the presenter of the ceremony Trevor Noah let go, by way of launching the evening: ' We will listen to music, dance, sing, keep people's names out of our mouths '. A barely disguised allusion to the sentence that had been launched by Will Smith to Chris Rock: ' Leave my wife's name out of your fucking mouth! '.

As for the musician Ahmir Questlove Thompson , who announced the winner of the song of the year category, he said, in reference to the now famous slap : ' I am about to present this award and I trust you to stay 500 feet (150 meters) from me '.
