Comedians Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock performed inside Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Friday. During each other their set, the two comedians brushed over the overly discussed Oscar slap starring Will Smith, according
to TMZ.Chris Rock didn’t really speak too heavily on the matter, but he did lightly touch on it by saying that the slap hurt and that “the motherf**ker hit me over a bulls**t joke, the nicest joke I ever told!”
At the end of the night, when Chapelle was on stage, he addressed the Netflix debacle, calling it “crazy.”
The comedian transitioned to the Oscars slap, specifically what it did to Smith.
“A lot of people forget who Will Smith is,” he stated. According to the Telegraph, he recalled Smith’s life in West Philadelphia. “Then 10 minutes before he was about to get the biggest award…he acted like he was back in Philadelphia.”
He continued, “Will did the impression of a perfect person for 30 years, and he ripped his mask off and showed us he was as ugly as the rest of us. Whatever the consequences are…I hope he doesn’t put his mask back on again and lets his real face breathe.”
He added that he saw himself “in both men,” referring to Smith with his mask on and Smith without.
Immediately after the Oscars slap, Rock and Chappelle touched on it a lot because the topic was fresh. Back in May, Chappelle and Rock both did a private show where they made light of their stage attacks.
Rock told Chappelle about how he got slapped
by someone with more “repute” and joked that he got slapped by “the softest n***a that ever rapped.”Now, they’re halting from discussing the issue since it has been overly addressed on many news stations, podcasts, radio shows, SNL skits, etc.
In July, Smith apologized for his actions, but Rock’s team said he wasn’t ready for it just yet.
