His monologue was funny. He joked how can you boycott something you’re not even invited to? He said something like Jada Smith boycotting the Oscars was like him boycotting Rhianna’s after party.

These are some incredibly thin skinned multi-millionaire celebrities here. That's like 10% the hitting power of a Gervais awards ceremony joke.
The punchline was it was like Chris Rock boycotting Rhianna's panties - - - because he wasn't invited. The joke was that Jada can't boycott an event she's not invited to.
Celebrities, especially Hollywood Royalty like the Smith family are inevitably going to be involved in jokes because jokes rely on a shared point of reference. You need to make jokes about high profile people so that most people will get the joke in the first place.
