Eddie Murphy Makes Hilarious Dig At Will Smith During Golden Globes Speech

Eddie Murphy won big at tonight’s Golden Globe Awards.

The veteran actor and comedian took home the Cecil B. DeMille award.

The award has been handed out since 1952 and is “presented to a talented individual for their outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.”

During his acceptance speech, Murphy went through a long list of family members, friends, managers, directors, producers and more.

However, he offered his three cents to the up-and-coming actors and Hollywood dreamers.

Murphy urged all young actors grinding it out to:

1. “Pay your taxes.”
2. “Mind your business.”
3. “KEEP WILL SMITH’S WIFE'S NAME OUT YOUR F**KING MOUTH!”

He got a massive round of applause and standing ovation by all his peers.

Obviously, this “joke” was a blatant dig at Smith’s outlandish behavior at the 2022 Academy Awards.

He stormed the stage and slapped Chris Rock square across the face.

“Eddie Murphy” instantly began trending on Twitter.

“LMFAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!” one person commented.

“Literally laughed out loud 😂,” another tweeted.

Lil Rey Howery tweeted, “Eddie Murphy will forever be the GOAT to me!!!! Whatever project we do together is going to be legendary!!!!”

“Chicks in the Office” podcast tweeted, “Eddie Murphy’s still got it folks #GoldenGlobes.”

Because of Smith’s “slap heard round the world,” he was banned from attending the Oscars or any event put on by the A.M.P.A.S. for ten years.

We recently reported on the “Fresh Prince” actor being “hurt” over “Emancipation” not getting a Golden Globe nomination.

Ever since he slapped Rock at the Oscars, Smith’s career has taken a significant hit, as evident from the poor performance of his latest film “Emancipation” at the box office.

Smith is reportedly hurt by the film’s poor performance and lack of recognition from the Golden Globes.

The legendary actor allegedly thought that the nine months since the slapping incident was enough time for the industry and moviegoers to forgive him and improve his image. However, that has evidently failed, and now Smith regrets not delaying the project further, especially because he believed the film would be a major point in his career.

Smith is also reportedly upset that another film icon and friend, Tom Cruise, has shunned him personally and professionally. 

His latest film project, “Emancipation,” was one close to Smith’s heart, but its performance at the box office has been a total disappointment. The “Pursuit of Happiness” actor is reportedly angry and hurt by the movie’s poor performance and snub at the 2023 Golden Globe nominations.

According to a report by RadarOnline, Smith was initially upset by the modest performance of “Emancipation,” which has only earned about $3k per cinema, which is too low compared to its $120 million budget. Now, the movie has received no nominations for the next Golden Globe awards, adding salt to injury.
