Chris Rock criticizes Will Smith's apology for Oscars slap: 'F*** your hostage video'

Chris Rock isn't interested in the public apology video Will Smith posted on social media months after slapping the comedian at the Oscars.

During a performance with Dave Chappelle at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday evening, Rock, 57, responded to Smith's apology by saying "f*** your hostage video," Deadline reported.

Rock was referring to the video Smith released back in late July to apologize for slapping Rock during the March Academy Awards telecast. The comedian had made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, reportedly unaware she has alopecia. As a response, Smith, 53, who would later accept the Oscar for Best Actor that night, cursed at Rock before storming the stage and smacking him.

Rock continued a bit that he's performed throughout his tour, saying “Yes that s*** hurt. He played Ali," referring to Smith's role as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali in 2001 film Ali. "I can’t even play Floyd Mayweather.”
