Patel recalled walking onstage to accept the award and Smith hugging Questlove, who “handled the moment with grace, giving a speech from the heart.”“What I didn’t hear in that moment walking to stage but was told of afterwards is what Chris Rock said when reading our name from the winner’s card — The winner is ‘Summer of Soul…Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson and…4 white guys.

It wasn’t that Rock was “under stress” after the incident with Smith, Patel continued, “He made the same joke the night before on stage at the Roots Jam!”
