Chris Rock’s brother has broken his silence surrounding that Oscars slap by actor Will Smith last month in a recent stand-up comedy show.
Tony Rock, the younger sibling of the controversial comedian, recently took to the stage to share his thoughts on the incident, which has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry.
On Sunday 27 March, Will infamously slapped Oscars host Chris Rock after a joke about his wife’s bald head. Jada suffers from auto-immune illness alopecia areata, which causes hair loss.
Chris Rock himself has refused to comment on the incident, despite Will Smith issuing a public apology on social media and resigning from membership at the Academy Awards.
The 57-year-old star did however shut down a heckler at his own show who yelled: “f**k Will Smith”.
CHRIS ROCK’S BROTHER SLAMS WILL SMITH
According to The Shade Room, Tony Rock addressed the Will Smith slap in his comedy routine last Friday.
He began his show in North Carolina by issuing a warning to the audience. He said: “If you think you gonna to walk up on this stage, this ain’t the motherf**king Oscars. And if you walk your a** up here, you ain’t nominated for shit but these motherf**king hands!
“Oh, we going to pop the rest of the year, n***a. Every time you see me do a show, pop!”
The younger brother of Chris Rock then seemingly addressed Will Smith directly, saying: “You gonna hit my motherf**king brother because your b***h gave you a side-eye?
“Oh, it’s a lot of Rock brothers, y’all ain’t know, it’s a lot of Rock brothers.”
Tony also revealed that he would not be accepting the actor’s apology. Following Will Smith’s IG apology, a fan asked Tony via Twitter, “Do you approve of the apology?”. Tony responded: “No.”
He also shut down speculation that Will Smith and Chris Rock made up after rapper Diddy claimed he had mediated between the pair.
Chris is the eldest of seven siblings, including brothers Andre, Tony, Brian, Kenny and Jordan, and sister Andi, 36. The siblings also share a late half-brother, Charles, who died in 2006.
