Nearly a year after getting slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars, Chris Rock’s finally addressing it on stage.
During his Chris Rock: Selective Outrage tour date in Baltimore Saturday night, Rock didn’t hold back on the name-calling and continued to joke about the person that initially got Smith riled up–Jada Pinkett.
Rock made it clear that the name of the Netflix-hosted special had much to do with Smith.
“Will Smith practices selective outrage,” Rock said, adding, “Everybody that really knows knows I had nothing to do with that s—. I didn’t have any ‘entanglements.’”

“Everybody called him a bitch and who does he hit? Me. a n-gga he knows he can beat. That is some b-tch-ass sh-t.”
