Will Smith is back to making music that "slaps" after dropping "Based on a True Story" on Friday, following a 20-year hiatus from releasing albums — and he immediately addresses his infamous Oscars incident with Chris Rock in 2022.

The album's opening song, “Int. Barbershop — Day,” features DJ Jazzy Jeff, B. Simone and Smith as characters gossiping about Smith's reputation.

“Will Smith is canceled,” the song opens with the barbershop chatter. “Who the f--- Will Smith think he is? ... I ain’t never gone forgive him for that stuff he did.”

Smith then talks in character about the moment that led him to be banned from the Oscars for a decade, when he slapped Rock during the live television broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony.

“I heard he down bad / I heard he won the Oscar, but had to give it back / And you know they only made him do that s*** because he’s Black,” the song goes.
