Days
after
Chris
Rock
was
slapped
by
Will
Smith
at
the
Oscars,
the
comedian
has
finally
opened
up
about
the
incident.
During
his
first
show
for
the
Ego
Death
World
Tour
on
Wednesday
(March
30),
he
revealed
that
he
is
still
processing
what
happened.

Notably,
the
ticket
prices
for
his
six
shows
skyrocketed
after
the
Oscar
confrontation.
This
marked
Rock’s
first
public
appearance
since
the
Oscars
2022.
While
talking
to
the
Bostan
(You
mean
Boston?)
audience,
Chris
said
he
wasn’t
going
to
talk
about
the
incident,
“If
you
came
to
hear
that,
I’m
not
…
I
had
like
a
whole
show
I
wrote
before
this
weekend.”

A
clip
shared
on
Twitter
revealed,
Chris
who
wore
all
white
for
his
performance,
walked
on
to
the
stage
while
fans
applauded
him.
The
applause
carried
on
for
minutes
with
fans
yelling
“I
love
you,
Chris!”,
the
comedian
in
the
video
appeared
to
be
getting
emotional.

Variety
reported
that
Chris
began
his
set
with,
“How
was
your
weekend?
I’m
still
kind
of
processing
what
happened.
So,
at
some
point,
I’ll
talk
about
that
s**t.
And
it
will
be
serious
and
funny.” Report
added
that
an
audience
member
at
his
show
yelled
“F**k
Will
Smith!”,
but,
Chris
maintained
his
silence
and
simply
added,
“I’m
going
to
tell
some
jokes.
It’s
nice
to
just
be
out.”

Mid-set,
the
comedian
again
briefly
addressed
the
slap,
and
said
he
was
“still
kind
of
processing
what
happened.
Other
than
the
weird
thing,
life
is
pretty
good.”

also
received
a
standing
ovation
