Doechii, Janelle Mon\u00e1e and Stevie Wonder are scheduled to be among the performers.<\/p>\n

Smith is reportedly<\/a> set to introduce a tribute to Quincy Jones, who died last November at 91.<\/p>\n

Jones was an executive producer on Smith\u2019s star-making sitcom\u00a0The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.\u00a0<\/em>Smith frequently \u2014 including in his memoir<\/a> \u2014 shared the story of auditioning for the show at Jones\u2019 house.<\/p>\n

Even though he\u2019s now returning to awards shows, Will Smith does not appear to have gotten over the Chris Rock joke about Jada Pinkett Smith that led to \u201cthe slap,\u201d if a report last month from\u00a0In Touch Weekly<\/em> is to be believed.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0In Touch Weekly<\/a>\u2018<\/em>s \u201csource,\u201d Will \u201cwill never forgive Chris for ruining his life, even though he\u2019s managed to pick up the pieces in the last year or so.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added: \u201c[H]e still hates the guy and his smug attitude. Chris isn\u2019t the victim here, not in Will\u2019s opinion. A lot of people would agree with Will and think what\u2019s happening to Chris is karma for refusing to speak to Will or accept his apology.\u201d<\/p>\n

The insider notes that Chris is still feeling a way too, however: \u201cFrom Chris\u2019 end, he\u2019s still haunted by what happened on that Oscars stage. He suffers from PTSD. Like Will, he\u2019s never recovered from that slap.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for a potential reunion, the source stated: \u201cOthers feel the best thing would be for these two egomaniacs to come together and hug it out, but they\u2019re too proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last June, Stephen A. Smith shared his thoughts on the incident\u00a0via his YouTube<\/a> channel amid news<\/a> of\u00a0Bad Boys: Ride or Die<\/em>\u00a0attaining blockbuster status at the box office.<\/p>\n

While he has supported Will Smith since the ordeal, the TV personality wants to see Will \u201csit down and talk to the Black community\u201d about the moment, as he feels Rock \u201cwill never get over that, ever\u201d and is \u201cdamaged\u201d because of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know you wouldn\u2019t have smacked Ricky Gervais, Bill Maher, Bill Burr or a host of others,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe know you wouldn\u2019t have done that. No apology is necessary. I\u2019m just saying a lot of folks ain\u2019t get over that. A lot of folks find it hard to just go to the movies<\/a> to watch you. I\u2019m one of those people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
