It seems that Will Smith is not able to get out of the controversy trap, and the news about Will Smith and Chris Rock resurfaced on the internet once again. But this time it is in the trend for another reason. A few days ago at the premiere of the actor’s upcoming movie, Emancipation, he revealed that legendary boxer, Floyd Mayweather called him every day for ten days after the Oscar incident happened.

Popular media house Wion has confirmed it in one of their episodes. Smith also added that before the incident, they were not ‘so-called’ friends. But after the fanatic incident, Mayweather went beyond friendship to support the actor. Fans however have acted weirdly and made some cheeky comments on the internet.

How did Floyd Mayweather help, Will Smith? 

On the evening of the Oscars 2022, the host was famous comedian Chris Rock who was making fun of the celebrities present there. But the whole table turned when he tried to mock Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett for her medical condition, alopecia. The sarcasm was not taken lightly by Smith and he went straight up to the stage and threw a right hand at Rock. The incident drew heavy criticism.

But in the crisis, Floyd Mayweather came as a ‘messiah’ and he called Smith for ten consecutive days. He also revealed how Mayweather used to call him and say that he is his hero. Mayweather told Smith, “you know you the champ, right? You good? You know you the champ, right? I want you to hear my voice say it.”
