Hollywood actor Eddie Murphy has taken a swipe at his younger colleague Will Smith over his infamous Oscar Award slap which he (Will) landed on comedian Chris Rock.
Eddie Murphy took a sly dig at Will Smith while delivering his acceptance speech at the 2022 Golden Globes after bagging the coveted Cecil B DeMille award at the 80th annual ceremony which was staged on Tuesday January 11, 2022.
While delivering his acceptance speech, Eddie Murphy said; ‘’I’ve been in show business for 46 years, and I’ve been in the movie business for 41 years, so this has been a long time in the making and greatly appreciated.’

He continued: ‘Like I said, I’ve been doing this for a long time so I could literally stand up here and keep saying thank you till they play the piano.
”But I’m going to wrap it up and say something to all the new up-and-coming dreamers and artists that are in the room tonight. I want to let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind.
‘It’s a blueprint and I followed it my whole life, it’s very simple. There’s three things you just do: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out of your f*****g mouth.’
