He also continues to callSmith a'Suge Smith'. The name he has given to Will is in reference to Suge Knight, the former hip-hop mogul and co-owner of Death Row Records, who is curruntly serving a 28-year jail sentence for a fatal hit-and-run case.

Before this, during his recent stand-up performance in New Jersey, Rock addressed the Oscar night and said, that he is not a victim. “Yeah, that sh*t hurt, motherf**ker. But I shook that sh*t off and went to work the next day … I don’t go to the hospital for a paper cut,” Rock said as per US Weekly.

Talking about Oscar's night, Smith smacked Rock over a joke he made about hiswife Jada's bald head. This all happened when Chris took the stage to present an award and during his brief gig, he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head, which is
due to her alopecia condition.

His joke probably provoked Smith who quickly went on stage and slapped Rock.

For his violent action, Academy has also banned Will for 10 years.
