"I love Chris Rock. I don’t think he would’ve made that joke had he known what Jada recently shared- but between him & the whole team @ the #Oscars you mean to tell me not ONE of y’all heard this woman just share this heartbreaking story."
The rapper continued by saying that Will's reaction is an eye opener for everyone because he got front row seat to his wife's pain being laughed at because people do not think that there are consequences.
Nicki also highlighted how horrible it must feel for Jada to shave her hair because it keeps coming off and how much she must have cried about it.
"The husband gets a front row seat to his wife’s pain… he’s the 1 consoling her… drying her tears behind closed doors when those cameras go off. Social media has made ppl feel that these “husbands” won’t ever run into them in real life."
"Imagine what it must feel like to be losing your hair to the point where you have to shave it bald. You think that’s easy to deal with for anyone? You don’t think she’s cried about that many times? 2022 y’all gon have to see these men about those jokes you made about their wives."
