Over the past few months, a number of celebrities have called out the I Am Legend actor for his actions. And among them was Michael Jai who had a few words for Smith during an interview with DJ Vlad. The actor called Smith, a bully.

Furthermore, Jai spoke, “It Hurt me to the soul. It’s not an excuse but I do understand the situation and the world that they start to build where you think whatever whims you have is justified.” Furthermore, he revealed he was extremely unhappy to see Smith humiliate Rock at the Oscars. However, recently, Rock took a dig at the Emancipation star as he returned to the Oscars for a stage show.
