Eddie Murphy is a legendary comedian who has made audiences laugh for decades.

On Tuesday, he was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 80th Annual Golden Globe Ceremony, where he made a joke about Will Smith and Chris Rock.

The joke was about the moment at the last year’s Academy Awards when Smith hit Rock on stage over a comment about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

“It’s very simple, just do these three things, pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your effing mouth,” said Murphy, as he shared the blueprint for success he has followed his entire career.

The joke made the entire hall burst out laughing, but it seems Smith, the punchline of the joke, might not have found it funny.

This is why social media went into a frenzy after the joke was made, with most people asking questions about what could have led Murphy to make such a joke and how Smith would react.

However, Murphy didn’t have a problem talking about it, and even spoke his piece right after the awards show ended.

“No, but I love Will. I love Will and I love Chris,” said Murphy when asked by reporters backstage if he’s spoken to Smith or Rock since the incident.

He also spoke to Extra and told the reporters that he didn’t feel bad about making the joke and that he would have made fun of the now infamous moment at the Oscars if he were hosting the ceremony in March.

“I would have worked the joke that I did right in some kind of way,” said Murphy.

It seems like this feud between the two veterans is going to get a lot more interesting in the coming days.

However, one thing is for sure, the comedic talent of Eddie Murphy is unmatched, and he has always found a way to make audiences laugh.
