“Everybody went mad, you know? Jada got mad. Jada said she’s not coming,” the 51-year-old said. “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna‘s panties. I wasn’t invited! Though that’s not an invitation I would turn down.”

WHOA! If this is any indication of how the night will go, it’s going to be full of interesting moments!
