Chris Rock addressed Will Smith apology in Atlanta?

A day after Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock, multiple reports claimed that the comedian addressed the Hollywood star's video statement.

The reports could not be confirmed as it was unknown whether Chris Rock referenced his now infamous Oscars slap during a tour stop in Atlanta, just hours after Will Smith released an apology video.

In March, Smith slapped Rock on stage during the 2022 Academy Awards after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's lack of hair, comparing her to a character in the movie G.I. Jane. Pinkett-Smith has been outspoken about her struggles with alopecia, which causes hair loss. Rock acknowledged the shocking moment during the Friday performance of his Chris Rock Ego Death World Tour.

CNN reported that the 57 year old said "everybody is trying to be a f****ing victim."

"If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith… I went to work the next day, I got kids,” he continued, comparing Smith to Suge Knight, former CEO of Death Row Records who is currently serving 28 years for voluntary manslaughter.

He added, "Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face."

Earlier that day, Smith posted a social media video apologizing to the Spiral star for the slap. The video is titled "It's been a minute" and answers questions about what happened during the March telecast.
