Tyrese Defends Jada Pinkett After Chris Rock’s “Tastless” Oscars Jab

Days after the Oscars, Tyrese is clapping back at Chris Rock for the “tasteless joke” he made during his opening monologue. Chris spoke on everything from the Oscars lacking diversity to black people needing to focus their energy on other issues going on in the world. But he really struck a nerve when he called out Jada Pinkett for calling for a boycott after Will Smith was snubbed in the nominations.

In an Instagram video and post, Tyrese claims he didn’t watch the telecast, but he heard what Chris had to say through the grapevine. In case you missed it, Chris said, “Jada got mad, Jada says she’s not coming, protesting, I’m like – doesn’t she have a TV show? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.”

“Did you really use your STAGE to tear down and diminish one of the strongest most fearless black women IN this town as the world watched??? Jokes are just jokes right?” ~ Tyrese

Do you agree with Tyrese?

  1. In 2016, Back people got a problem with Hollywood and the Oscars…in 2016. Yet, BET, Ebony, Essence, and most of urban radio stations are owned by white corporations.
    Keep playing victim, Black people, the democrats hear your cry.

    • All of those companies you mentioned are owned by white people because too many black C.E.O.'s are eager to sell their businesses to the white man. It's a shame that many of our most successful business men and business women care more about making money than building and strengthening the black race!

    • Got something else to say, guess what white people are buying from black people now, BARBERSHOPS! The future looks very dim for us. I am scared!

    • All the media you mentioned are not white owned but they are kosher owned…
      People still have difficulties to differentiate the koshers from the caucasians, from the arabs (many koshers look like arabs), and now from the blacks (the latest kosher trend), and tomorrow from the asians…
      For example : Charlie Sheen is an "acting caucasian" kosher male
      Lisa Bonet is an "acting african" kosher female
      Sarah Chain is an "acting arab" kosher female
      Once the kosher tribe sets foot in a country, they blend their DNA with the native's DNA in order to look "as native as possible" but they still keep among themselves and their ancestral kosher culture…
      Divide and conquer …

  2. I bet you Tyrese is on Wilma Smith's payroll. If that's true, I bet you Tyrese had to do something sexual to Wilma Smith to get on that payroll. If you think I'm lying, ask Wilma's best friends Duane Martin and Benny Medina!

  3. Chris Rock: "Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties – I wasn't invited!”

    C'mon now that was some funny shit.

  4. Tyrese just can't help himself. He just can't resist cooning. After his massa Paul Walker's death, he had to find another, is that why he's on Leo DiCaprio's dick?

    • IKR… leo would blast these niccas that keep claiming him and leave them to bleed out there in the streets, if it would take him further in the industry.

  5. Tyrese would be back riding the coco cola bus singing for his supper if not for his butt-stand in Dubai. He and Will are regulars in Dubai

  6. Chris Rock did an excellent job. He kept it fair and pointed out both sides of the argument. He pointed out hollywoods racism and they still sat there and watched! It takes a great comedian to do that.

  7. Tyrese is back peddling trying to get bw back on his side naw boo get the white boys who dicks you suck to ride for your cripsy critter phony ass

  8. So I'm gonna hazard a guess here: Tyrese wasn't invited to the Oscars either, right?

    Perhaps it's time to bring back the Tree of Life Awards (aka The Black Oscars). Of course, in order to be invited to that, you had to be black and nominated for an Oscar or you had to have created work that was important or influential to the black community. So I guess Tyrese and Jada wouldn't be invited to that either. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-mn-black-oscars-20160204-story.html

  9. This from a POS that allowed Jon Benet's name to be used in his movie. Please!

  10. THEY KNOW RIHANNAS A HOE CHRIS ROCK JUST CALLED IT OUT EVERYBODY IN HOLLYWOOD HAS RUN THROUGH HERPES GIRL.

  11. Everybody in hollywood has ran through Tyrese! Remember what that comedian said about Tyrese being on the DL? That shit is true!

  12. I think that if Hollywood Oscars nominations were to reflect the real reality of the movie industry then only gay jhews artists should be nominated and/or invited…
    Exit the caucasians, exit the africans, exit the native americans, exit the latin americans, exit the asians, etc…
