Eddie Murphy’s joke was never meant as a shade to Will Smith and was all in good fun. According to the “Daddy Day Care” star, he has nothing but love for everyone involved in the controversy. “Yeah, because in reality, I’ve worked with Jada,” he told ET when asked why he made the joke. “I love Will. I love Will, and I love Chris — and it’s all love.” He also told Extra that if he were the host at the time, he would have alluded to the slap anyway just to clear the air. “I would have worked that joke that I did right in there some kind of way… You have to say something about it, then you move on,” he said.

But he added that Smith has yet to reach out to him regarding his joke, although he’s not exactly expecting him to. “No, I haven’t heard from anybody,” he dished to E! News. “But I don’t think it’s something that you would even call about. It was a good joke, a funny joke. And I love him, I love Chris, and it’s all love.” If Eddie Murphy says it’s all love twice, then it must really be all love!
