Chris Rock's brother, Tony Rock, has some more things to say about Will Smith.
On Sunday night at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith and her hair loss condition, known as alopecia. Smith stotmed the stage and slapped Rock before returning to his seat and yelling, "Keep my wife’s name out of your f---ing mouth."
Although Rock carried on with the presentation and declined to press charges, Tony Rock has hinted that the feud is far from over. In a recent stand-up set, he continued to slam Will Smith for attacking his brother on stage.

The Shade Room obtained footage of Tony Rock addressing the Oscar slap controversy in a video posted to Instagram on Friday night.
“If you think you gonna walk up on this stage… this ain’t the mother----ing Oscars,” Tony said. “And if you walk you’re a—up here, you ain’t nominated for s--- but these mother----ing hands. Oh, we’re going to pop the rest of the year, n----. Every time you see me do a show, pop!”
“I didn’t want to start the show like that,” he admitted as he threw his hands in the air. “You gonna hit my mother----ing brother because your b---- gave you a side-eye?”

“Oh, it’s a lot of Rock brothers, y’all ain’t know, it’s a lot of Rock brothers,” Tony continued. Chris, 57, is the oldest Rock sibling. Tony is 47. There’s also Andre Rock, Brian Rock, Kenny Rock, 42, and Jordan Rock, 31. There’s also sister Andi Rock, 36. Their half-brother, Charles, passed away in 2006.
Earlier this week, Tony took to Twitter to do a brief Twitter question and answer session with fans to address the controversy, where he hinted that Diddy was lying when he said that Rock and Smith had buried the hatchet at the Vanity Fair after party.
