A week after the famous slap at the Oscars, Will Smith was definitely on the minds of some Grammy attendees.
Denzel Washington speaks publicly about Will Smith's slap at the Oscars: "Who are we to condemn?"
During the preliminary ceremony of the 64th edition of the awards, LeVar Burton joked while introducing a guest.
"I want to warn everyone that our next guest is a comedian," Burton said.
"If you understand what I mean. So I have to warn everyone: stay in your seats and keep your hands to yourself. Okay?"

What still remains unresolved after Will Smith's slap
After slapping Rock, Smith returned to his seat and yelled that the comedian should keep his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's name out of his mouth.
The slap occurred after Rock joked about Pinkett Smith's shaved head.
She suffers from alopecia, which is hair loss due to an autoimmune response.

The musician Questlove was one of the presenters of the Grammys on Sunday night.
It was just in the category of the Oscars in which he won, the best documentary, when Rock made the comment and the incident was unleashed.
During the Grammys, Questlove uttered a few words that many took as a reference to the slap.
"I'm going to present this award and I trust you guys to stay 500 feet away from me," he joked.
