Chris Rock Clowns Will Smith While Joking With Dave Chappelle: ‘I got Smacked By The Softest N-word That Ever Rapped’
Earlier this week, Dave Chappelle got attacked by a man during his live show. The man was armed with a gun/ knife and charged at the comedian during his set at the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday. Thankfully, Chappelle was not injured but the man got beaten up pretty badly by his security team.
Many celebrities and fellow comedians were in attendance for the show, including Beyonce, Jay Z, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Jamie Foxx, and even Chris Rock, who also previously got attacked by Will Smith while hosting the Oscars. Both comedians turned their wild situations into laughable moments during and after Chappelle’s show. As we previously reported, following the attack, Rock got on stage and joked, “was that Will Smith?”
According to ” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>The Hollywood Reporter, the two continued to joke about their attacks while performing at a “secret” comedy show Thursday night in Los Angeles. The news site reports that the star-studded show took place inside a small venue inside the Comedy Store club and featured a star-studded audience consisting of Kim Kardashian, rappers Sean “Diddy” Combs (50 Cent) and Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), and more. While onstage together, Chapelle joked to Rock, “At least you got smacked by someone of repute!” Chappelle said in front of the 70-seat crowd. “I got smacked by a homeless guy with leaves in his hair.” Chris Rock chuckled then joked, “I got smacked by the softest [N-word] that ever rapped,” THR quotes.
Moving on from that, jokes were then made about the guests in the audience. Diddy became a target. “I am in the [place] where you sat in the car with Biggie Smalls as he died,” Chappelle said near his set’s end, eyeing Combs. “I hate this city.”
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has decided not to pursue felony charges against Isaiah Lee, the man accused of leaping on stage and attacking comedian Dave Chappelle during a performance a the Hollywood Bowl. However, Lee was still charged with four misdemeanors, including battery and possession of a weapon, Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer announced in a press release and video message posted to Twitter on Thursday afternoon. DA spokesperson Greg Risling also said in a statement to CNN: “After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct.”
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, which owns the Hollywood Bowl said they are taking extra security measures to avoid this from happening again.
“We are reviewing our existing procedures both internally and with the assistance of outside experts so we can continue to provide a safe and secure environment at the Hollywood Bowl,” Jefferies said. “We have implemented additional security measures, including an increased number of security personnel on-site to assist with bag checks and other security procedures.”
