The singer and actor, who appealed for Rock to boycott the event in January, claimed the Oscar host used the movie award stage to make fun of Will Smith's wife despite her trying to create a brighter future for the 'Black' community.
Jada Pinkett had called for the boycott of this year's Oscar awards due to lack of diversity. She and her actor husband as well as other top Black stars didn’t show up for the Hollywood movie show down.

In her defense, Tyrese posteda video on his Intsagram account lambasting Rock for slamming Jada while revealing he venever watched the show. He wrote:
"I didn't watch - I didn't - but online people are talking and someone posted the tasteless joke that Chris Rock did in his opening - 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???? Not when someone is trying to affect change......... Not when someone is willing to put it ALL on the line to affect change for our daughters and sons of the future........ Shame on you Chris Rock - Now let me run to YouTube and watch Leo's acceptance speech............ So fucking proud of you Leo......"
Well, looks Tyrese was happy about one thing though -- Leonardo Dicaprio finally got the gold! Watch Chris Rock's opening monolgue below:
