nikka "won" by catching a decade long ban from the Academy Awards leading him to drop rap albums he doesn't need to record that no one will listen to or buy.
By having two commerical successful sequels that grossed 5x the budget. Being constantly booked, including for planes, trains and automobiles for a new generation.
Meanwhile Chris Rock's last special coming off the slap flopped. General consensus has turned to will's side. Etc.
Idk how you can look at each person's career after the slap and walk away thinking Chris Rock even remotely benefitted, just because Smith got banned?
He smacked that nikka into doing paw patrol movies and being listed after Kim Kardashian in cast wtf are we talking about
