Will Smith wins Oscar: The last years have been tough

It wasn't just the music that came into the spotlight during rapper and actor Will Smith's concert at Smukfest Thursday evening.

About an hour into the concert, he raised his Oscar statuette, which he won in 2022, high. He received the award that evening, where he infamously slapped comedian Chris Rock.

- The last three years I have carried a big shame and a big guilt feeling from that night. I want to share something with you. And often one doesn't get permission to do it face to face said Will Smith to Smukfests audience.

He lifted the statuette, and the audience cheered loudly.

- I have dedicated my entire career to giving joy and love to this world. I just want to say thank you to all of you who stayed by my side, continued Will Smith.
