Chris Rock Is Subtweeting Will Smith From the Stage
You've gotta feel for Chris Rock. The man is midway through what's (surely) an exhausting world tour—and the news cycle swirling around The Slap just won't stop.
Want to know why? Because the man who whacked Rock at the Oscars, Will Smith, just... won't... stop. Bright and early on Friday morning, Smith posted a deeply weird, six-minute-long apology to his YouTube channel. "I was fogged out by that point, Smith said about the incident. "It's all fuzzy. I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you." Well, that night, Rock performed in Atlanta's Fox Theatre, where he didn't directly respond to the latest Willism—but he certainly seemed to have something to say about it.
“If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith,” Rock quipped. (He's referencing Marion “Suge” Knight, by the way, co-founder of Death Row Records who is currently serving 28 years in prison.) “I went to work the next day, I got kids.” Rock, per usual, has a point here. Should our attention really be going to Smith's YouTube channel, where he's belaboring an altercation that happened so long ago? Well, that's exactly what Rock is saying—people do care, probably too much, and definitely at the expense of much more pressing issues in the world.
