OJ Simpson loves to weigh in on anything and everything.

While OJ thinks Will Smith was “wrong,” the former NFL player understood “the sentiment.”

OJ tweeted his thoughts in a video that has since gone viral.

“Hey look, it was unfortunate,” said the former superstar running back said. “I think Will was wrong.”

Watch OJ’s take below:

Simpson said he “understood the feeling,” explaining:

“In my life, I’ve been through a lot of crap and I was raising two young kids, and every comedian in the country had an O.J. routine, and don’t think I wouldn’t wanna be slapping a couple of those guys.”

OJ knows a thing or two about snapping on someone, so of course he can relate.

However, at the end of the day, Simpson believes, “You gotta accept that it’s humor.”

“I didn’t even think that [Chris Rock’s joke] was all that egregious,” he said. “I thought it was a semi-unfunny joke.”

OJ really is one understanding dude. His takes always kill.
