Viewers tuning into the Grammy Awards on Sunday night were furious when Will Smith walked up on stage to pay tribute to Quincy Jones.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor paid tribute to the music mogul, who passed away in November at the age of 91. Will introduced the tribute, calling Jones "one of the most influential and groundbreaking figures of our times." The late producer was honoured with a medley of some of the hundreds of songs he worked on throughout his prolific career.

Will had his acting debut on Fresh Prince - which saw Jones as the executive producer and the composer. During his speech, Will noted how Jones "changed his life forever". He said: "You probably wouldn’t even know who Will Smith was if it wasn’t for Quincy Jones. He made so many greats across multiple genres sound even better."

His appearance at the Grammy Awards comes almost three years after he was banned from the Oscars. The last time he joined an awards show stage he slapped comedian Chris Rock. After Chris made a joke about Will's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, he took to the stage and slapped the star across the face.

He was soon banned from the Oscar Awards for a decade, with the Academy confirming in a statement: "During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room." Fans were furious that the Pursuit of Happyness star took part in the show, with many rushing to social media to slam him.

Writing on X/Twitter, one user said: "Why the heck is Will Smith on the Grammys? Are you out of your mind? Get him the heck off!" and another furious fan added: "Why the F**K is Will Smith on my TV screen at the Grammys announcing anything??? He doesn't deserve to be in the spotlight after his assault on Chris Rock."

"Can someone explain why did we have to listen to Will Smith’s yapping for 10 minutes straight at the Grammys? Is he even nominated?" one confused fan commented while one posted: "How is Will Smith still allowed at award shows, let alone allowed to present?"

Some fans noted how Will previously boycotted the Grammys. In 1989, Will and musical partner DJ Jazzy Jeff boycotted the show after finding out the presentation of the award for the new category of best rap performance wouldn't be televised. The duo were nominated and won the Grammy for Parents Just Don't Understand.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the time, he said: "We don’t have the problem with the Grammy as an award or the Grammys as an institution, we just had a problem with the 1989 design of the awards show. We chose to boycott. We feel that it’s a slap in the face.”

After winning an award, Will said to the LA Times he was "more than happy to accept it" but added: "I’m not as happy as I could have been. … [The presentation not being televised] detracts from the excitement of the award.” On his decision to boycott the show, he said: "Absolutely no second feelings. The way it happened was exactly the way I wanted it to happen.”

Jang Ryul, Chani, Son Woo Hyeon, And More Are Joseon’s Most Eligible Bachelors Ready To Steal Hearts In “The Scandal Of Chunhwa”

Jang Ryul, Chani, Son Woo Hyeon, And More Are Joseon’s Most Eligible Bachelors Ready To Steal Hearts In “The Scandal Of Chunhwa”

“The Scandal of Chunhwa” has introduced a dashing lineup of Joseon's most sought-after bachelors! “The Scandal of Chunhwa” is a historical romance drama that tells the story of Princess Hwa Ri (Go Ara) who, after experiencing the heartbreak of her first love, declares her intention to choose her future husband herself. Her groundbreaking decision throws the royal palace into turmoil and entangles her with two men: Choi Hwan (Jang Ryul), the city’s most notorious playboy, and Jang Won (SF9’s Chani), the city’s most eligible bachelor. The drama features five captivating men who will showcase different shades of romance: Choi Hwan, Jang Won, Crown Prince Yi Seung (Son Woo Hyeon), painter Kim Min Hong (Bae Yoon Kyu), and Prince Yi Yeol (Kim Taek). First up is Choi Hwan, the city's most infamous playboy. With immense wealth and a smooth demeanor, he exudes an undeniable aura that makes him the center of attention. His reputation precedes him, leaving behind a trail of women who couldn’t escape his charm. But what compels him to be the first to volunteer as Hwa Ri’s suitor? On the other end of the spectrum, Jang Won embodies the ideal son-in-law. Handsome, intelligent, and possessing impeccable character, Jang Won is the eldest son of a distinguished family, making him the top choice for marriage among noble families. Yet, despite the attention, he remains unmoved—until Hwa Ri’s unexpected proclamation pulls him into an unexpected whirlwind of romance. Crown Prince Yi Seung is Hwa Ri’s older brother and the king’s eldest son. A model prince, he dedicates himself tirelessly to his studies and the responsibilities of the throne, ensuring he leaves no room for criticism. Yet, behind his seemingly flawless exterior lies a quiet melancholy that hints at a deeper story. Adding an artistic flair to the mix is painter Kim Min Hong, whose talent is his greatest allure. Renowned as a genius artist, he also shares a special bond with Hwa Ri, having been both her painting mentor and the keeper of one of her deepest secrets. As they navigate their complex relationship, subtle sparks begin to fly. Rounding out the group is Prince Yi Yeol, Hwa Ri’s second older brother, known for his undying devotion to his wife. With a positive mindset, he is a man of action—energetic, straightforward, and more attuned to martial arts than academics. His unwavering love for his friend’s sister, Lee Ji Won (Han Seung Yeon), leads him to marriage, making him the drama’s ultimate romantic fool. The first two episodes of “The Scandal of Chunhwa” will premiere on February 6 at 12 p.m. KST! Watch Chani in his drama “Miracle” below!
