Questlove missed Will Smith's slap because he was meditating

When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards on Sunday, audience members both in the Dolby Theatre and at home were stunned. Questlove, though, was meditating.

At the time of the slap, Rock was in the middle of presenting the best documentary feature award. Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and others were nominated in that category for their film "Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)," a documentary about the Harlem Cultural Festival.

Mentally, however, The Roots drummer was simply not there, he told late night host Jimmy Fallon on Monday.
