Chris Rock’s brother Kenny Rock isn’t a fan of veteran actor Will Smith after the movie star punched his brother at the Academy Awards.
As you may know, Will slapped Chris because the producer of Everyone Hates Chris joked about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith’s hair loss while presenting at the ceremony.
After the famous incident, Kenny called out the ‘King Richard’ star as he hoped to punch him in the boxing ring.
Chris Rock’s sibling believes he can defeat Will Smith in a boxing match

The comedian’s youngest sibling recently signed celebrity boxing creator Damon Feldman for a summer fight in Florida.
He reportedly has no opponent, but the “Bad Boys” icon appears to be his ideal contender of choice based on TMZ’s narrative.
The difference in their size doesn’t seem to be an issue, and he believed he would triumph despite Will’s larger stature. The film personality has also previously appeared on television as popular boxer Muhammad Ali.
The boxer hopeful is scheduled to fight June 11 at the Charles F. Dodge City Center in Pembroke Pines.
Kenny doesn’t think his older brother wants a skirmish with Will; However, calling out the film icon does imply how Chris felt about the situation.
Earlier this month, The Blast reported that the comedy star’s brother opened up about the Oscars to the Los Angeles Times. He felt “helpless” as he watched his sibling being attacked. Kenny clarified to the news channel:
“It eats me up just to watch [the footage] over and over again because you saw a loved one being attacked and there is nothing you can do about it.
He didn’t believe his brother was a threat to Will and the 53-year-old disrespected Chris at the moment as he belittled him in front of scores of viewers on the show.
According to the TMZ report, which Kenny confirmed, Chris had no idea Jada had been diagnosed with alopecia, suggesting his justification for his sibling’s Oscars joke.

Despite Will’s resignation from the Academy and his apology, Kenny said the “Pursuit of Happiness” actor should be barred from future Academy Awards and have his Oscar revoked.
Although the on-screen icon apologized to the Academy and other program nominees, but not Chris, he later shared an apologetic message to the 57-year-old on his social media pages.
Several people believed the apology note came too late, including the voice actor’s brother.
Kenny said: “I might have seen it differently if he had initially apologized when he came on stage and cried and accepted the award, but he didn’t, so right there, that tells me there’s something.” is different.”
He felt the “Bright” actor should have been escorted from the Oscars as he blamed the Academy for not doing so.
“I think he embarrassed himself and his legacy with that,” he added, noting that Will had not reached out to a “Rock” family member to apologize for the attack.
Kenny isn’t the only family member supporting the comedian. Another brother, Tony Rock, held a Q&A session Twitter after the Oscars, which he didn’t attend.
He was asked a few questions about the incident as fans believed Chris and Will reconciled on the same night of the occasion.
His replies were conspicuously short, showing that the argument between the celebs wasn’t over, as he didn’t accept Will’s apology either.

The Longest Yard star’s youngest brother takes sides and calls the Oscars joke funny
In a previous report by The Blast, Chris had made no statement about being aware of Jada’s condition, although his brother explained that the host really had no idea when he made the joke.
Kenny thought the joke was funny, but not the hilarious kind of funny, believing his brother wouldn’t have been joking had he known about the actress’ alopecia.
Since the fiasco, the “Madagascar” actor has kept a low profile and does not address any speculation. He is currently on his “Ego Death World” tour, which kicked off a few days after the Oscars.
Chris’ other brother Tony has previously shown his support, both with an online Q&A and by issuing a statement condemning Will’s actions.
However, the youngest sibling seems to be the most invested in the whole situation out of the three siblings as he individually spoke out against the film producer.
