Barbershop — Day,” where he declares: “Will Smith is canceled.” Then he hints it’s because of his skin color… which is an interesting take, considering, well… 2022 Oscars, anyone? Maybe the cancellation had a little more… punch to it.

Fans were left wondering if he had a pressing engagement or just really, really wanted to beat the traffic. Moments later, he posted a photo of a plane with the caption, “Get me to God’s country.” Guess when Morgan says, “Last Night”, he means right now!
