The Golden Globes are notorious for their unpredictable and often chaotic nature, where free-flowing booze leads to unfiltered speeches and unexpected drama. This year, the event featured a prank so epic it left one star, Will Smith, feeling rather embarrassed in front of millions. The prankster? None other than comedy legend Eddie Murphy. However, Will Smith, who has been through a lot in the past year, was not amused.

During the awards ceremony, Eddie Murphy was honored with the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, a recognition for his comedic genius. As he took the stage, the audience erupted in applause, knowing they were in for something special. Once the applause died down, Eddie launched into his speech, offering some sage advice and ending with a punchline that left the audience in stitches and jaws on the floor. He said, “Listen up, ladies and gents, I’m about to spill the secret sauce of success, so pay attention. It’s as easy as one, two, three. I want to let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind. Just do these three things: pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your mouth.”

As the audience laughed, a camera cut to Will Smith, who managed to crack a smile. The internet exploded with reactions to the joke. Fans took to social media, with one Twitter user pointing out a scene from “The Nutty Professor” in 1996, where Eddie Murphy’s character attacks a comedian played by Dave Chappelle, ironically with Jada Pinkett Smith also in the scene. Others praised Eddie Murphy for making light of the infamous Oscar slap involving Will Smith and Chris Rock, with one user stating, “The only person who could have made the Will Smith slap funny is Eddie Murphy. What an end to that speech!”

Despite the internet’s amusement, the joke created some tension backstage. Many guests were on edge, fearing a repeat of the Oscars incident. However, Eddie Murphy took the time to clarify his intentions. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Eddie explained that he had no ill will towards Will Smith or Chris Rock. “In reality, I’ve worked with Jada. I love Will and I love Chris. It’s all love,” he said. Eddie and Jada Pinkett Smith indeed go way back, having shared the screen in “The Nutty Professor.” The joke, Eddie explained, was the kind of banter that old friends might share.

Eddie’s clarification helped calm things down, with fans breathing a sigh of relief that there wouldn’t be any physical altercations. However, the drama didn’t end there. When asked by Extra about his expectations of hearing from Will Smith after the joke, Eddie simply smiled and said, “No, I haven’t, but I love both of them.” He reiterated his love for both Will and Chris during the chat, and also shared that if he were hosting the upcoming Oscars, he wouldn’t have let the infamous slap moment slip by without a joke. “If I was hosting the Oscars, I would have worked that joke that I did right in there some kind of way. I think you have to say something about it,” Eddie said.

Eddie’s ability to poke fun without holding grudges is well-known, but not everyone was as forgiving. During a recent appearance on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Chris Rock’s brother, Tony Rock, set the record straight about the supposed lack of contact between Will Smith and Chris Rock following the Oscars slap. According to Tony, Will’s claim that he reached out to Chris after the slap was simply not true. “I’ve reached out to him, he didn’t want to talk—that wasn’t true,” Tony stated. He shared his surprise that he hadn’t heard from Will Smith, despite starring in the Smith-produced sitcom “All of Us.” “He doesn’t owe me anything. I just thought we were better than that. My phone number has never changed, so I just thought I’d get a phone call one day like, ‘Hey man, let’s just you and I talk,’ you know? It hasn’t happened, so I guess it’s not gonna happen.”

While Eddie Murphy tried to smooth things over, reports suggested that Will Smith was pretty upset with Eddie for poking fun at him and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Will reportedly took the joke personally, feeling that Eddie crossed a line. The subject of public scrutiny surrounding his personal life is a sensitive one for Will, who has been in the spotlight for various personal issues, including the infamous slap and Jada’s public admission of an affair on “Red Table Talk.”

The Golden Globes incident highlighted the ongoing tensions and complexities of public scrutiny in Hollywood. While Eddie Murphy’s joke may have been intended as harmless fun, it touched on sensitive subjects for Will Smith. Despite the drama, the Golden Globes continue to be a platform for unscripted, unpredictable moments that keep audiences on the edge of their seats. As the awards season continues, it will be interesting to see if more lighthearted jabs or serious confrontations arise from these high-profile events.
