Following Will Smith’s public apology and responses from Jada Pinkett Smith and his mother, Chris Rock’s brother Tony Rock is saying his piece regarding the Oscars slap fiasco between Chris and Will.
On Friday (April 1), a video began circulating of Tony Rock’s latest stand-up show. During the short video clip, Tony Rock appears to open his set by addressing Will Smith’s decision to physically assault Chris Rock at the Oscars on March 27 after the veteran comic made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald appearance, which is caused by a medical condition called alopecia.
Unlike Wiz Khalifa, who joked about shooting anyone who got the idea to approach him on stage like Will Smith during the premiere of his Still Rolling Papers documentary, Tony Rock made it very clear he was serious about the consequences for anyone who may attempt to inflict the same sort of violence on him.
“If you think you going to walk up on this stage, this ain’t the muthafucking Oscars!” Tony Rock said. “And if you walk your ass up here, you ain’t nominated for shit but these muthafucking hands! Oh, we going to pop the rest of the year, n-gga. Every time you see me do a show, pop!”
