Accepting the award, Murphy said: "I've been doing this for a long time, so I can literally stand up here and keep saying thank you until they play the piano.
"But I'm gonna wrap it up and just say something to all the new up and coming dreamers and artists that are in the room tonight.
"I want to let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind.
"There's a blueprint and I followed it my whole career, it's very simple.
"There's three things you just do these three things: Pay your taxes. Mind your business and keep Will Smith's wife's name out of your f****** mouth!"
