During the 2022 Academy Awards on March 27, a incident happened on national television. While Chris Rock was doing a comedy skit, he made a comment about Jada Smith’s health condition. The actress was obviously uncomfortable with the joke. That’s when her husband Will Smith walked onto the stage and slapped Chris.

Right after that incident, during the commercial break, Denzel Washington and other personalities approached Will Smith. Later that night, while Will was giving his acceptance speech for the Best Actor award, he mentioned that Denzel warned him about the Devil minutes ago.

Oscars incident

Denzel revealed to everyone what really happened right after the incident and what did he said to Will Smith during that time. At T.D. Jakes’ International Leadership Summit in Charlotte, North Carolina, he talked about why he approached Will.

“There’s a saying when the devil ignores you, then you know you’re doing something wrong,” Denzel told Jakes. “… The devil goes, ‘Oh, no, leave him alone – he’s my favorite. Don’t bother him.’ Conversely, when the devil comes at you, maybe it’s because you’re trying to do something right. And for whatever reason, the devil got ahold of him, of that circumstance that night.”

Prayer is the solution

Denzel revealed that they prayed during that time. There was no condemnation that happened, only prayers and sharing of the grace of God. The well-known actor also believes that in any circumstance, the only solution was prayer.

“Fortunately, there were people there – not just me but others in the gap. [Actor] Tyler Perry came, immediately, right over there with me, and some prayers [were said] … I don’t want to say what we talked about,” he added. “There but for the grace of God go any of us – you know? – who are we to condemn? I don’t know all the ins and outs of this situation, but I know the only solution was prayer – the way I saw it.”

“Denzel [Washington] said to me a few minutes ago, ‘At your highest moment, be careful. That’s when the devil comes for you,’” Will revealed. “I want to be a vessel for love.”

The father of three, then continued to explain why he reacted that way and apologized to the Academy. He also compared himself to Richard Williams and how he defended his family.

“Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family. At this time in my life, at this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in this world,” Smith said with tears streaming down his face.

American rapper and singer Pharrell Williams quoted scripture while presenting one of the awards at the Oscars last weekend.

Pharrell Williams At The Oscars

As many celebrities gathered at the annual Academy Awards to present and accept the much sought-after golden statues, Pharrell was asked to present the Best Animated Feature Award along with actress Michelle Yeoh.  He brought a significant spiritual impact to the night, by quoting a Bible verse.

Actress Reigina King also mentioned God, while giving her acceptance speech.

The scripture Pharrell quoted was 1 Corinthians 3:11  –  “The Bible says, ‘When I was a child I spoke as a child. I understood as a child. I thought as a child. And when I became a man, I put away childish things,’” he said.

Michelle Yeoh then added “When we move to adulthood, we look back fondly” on the years that we experienced as children and the “creativity exhibited” within them.

Pharrell then commended every single nominee in the Best Animated Feature category by acknowledging their ability. There’s “no need to put things away but instead embrace and enjoy a shared experience,” he stated.

The rapper and singer received mixed comments for quoting Scripture. Some commended him but others were furious at what he did.

Some referred to his use of the Bible as “weird and unnecessary.” “No thanks for the weird and unnecessary Bible references,” Jason Connor posted on his Twitter.


However other tweets gave glory to God for what Pharrell did.

“@Pharrell quoting holy Bible on the #Oscars2019 !! Glory to God,” Gustavo Coelho twitted.

Katie Lansford was also happy to hear the Bible verse being shared at the Oscars.
