Chris Rock's brother Tony Rock slams Will Smith after he slapped the comic
Tony Rock has shared his thoughts on his brother, Chris Rock, being smacked by Will Smith during the Oscars last weekend.
During his stand-up comedy gig on Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina, the 47-year-old comic kicked things off by refreshing the crowd's memory of the incident which involved his 57-year-old brother and 53-year-old actor Will Smith.
Issuing a warning to his crowd, he said: "If you think you gonna walk up on this stage, this ain't the motherf***ing Oscars. And if you walk your a** up here, you ain't nominated for s*** but these motherf***ing hands. Oh, we going to pop the rest of the year, n****. Every time you see me do a show, pop!"
“I didn’t want to start the show like that!” he went on as he threw his hands in the air. “You gonna hit my motherf***ing brother because your b**** gave you a side-eye?”
The day after his stand-up show, Rock was asked by a fan on Twitter if he "approved" of Smith's apology to his brother, to which he replied with a firm "No."
Also, when a fan asked whether P Diddy had been lying when he said Rock and Smith had made up after their altercation, Tony replied: "Yep".
Smith has since apologized to Rock for hitting him at the Oscars, which he did in response to a joke the comic had made about his wife Jada Pinkett smith's shaved head.
He said in the post: "Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally."
Sharing his remorse, he penned: "I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."
