Tyrese is calling out Chris Rock for throwing some major shade at Jada Pinkett Smith at the 88th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, February 28.
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.

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......"
