In conversation, Majlak asked him if Smith should face repercussions for his actions. Charlemagne responded by saying, “I don’t think we are at a point where repercussions are not okay. Like what Will did is what he did. That’s a choice he made. You know I’m not gonna sit here and say whether it’s right or wrong. I don’t know whether it was right or wrong.”

Logan Paul capitalizes on the Will Smith slap incident

The businessman in Logan Paul could not resist capitalizing on the Will Smith-Chris Rock controversy. In fact, he used the incident as a vehicle to promote his hydration drink, Prime.

Paul tweeted a picture of the infamous incident. However, he also replaced Smith’s face with Prime, while Rock’s face was replaced with Gatorade. This was to portray Prime becoming the hydration drink of choice by slapping Gatorade off the shelves.
