Comedian Chris Rock dropped some trash talk about Will Smith slapping him at the Oscars at a show Thursday in Los Angeles — commiserating with Dave Chappelle, who just this past week was also assaulted on stage.
In one key exchange, Chappelle reportedly told Rock, “At least you got smacked by someone of repute.” Rock quipped back, “I got smacked by the softest n***a that ever rapped.”
The two comedians spoke onstage two days after Chappelle was attacked by an armed assailant during his performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.
