<p>It looks like Chris Rock is not going to patch up with Will Smith any time soon, despite the latter’s public apology for slapping Rock during the 94th Academy Awards that happened in March this year. Rock, who is currently on tour, thinks that the timing of Smith’s apology is "more for Will's best interest" and that he "isn't ready to speak" to the ‘Men in Black’ star.</p>

<p>According to Entertainment Tonight , a source said, "Chris has no plans to reach out to Will." "He needs the public's forgiveness, not Chris," the source added.</p>

<p>In a YouTube video on Friday, Smith responded to his Oscar slap controversy with comedian Rock and why he didn't make an apology to him at the time of his award acceptance speech on the stage. "I was fogged out by that point," he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;"It's all fuzzy."</p>

<p>Smith claimed that he tried contacting Rock to discuss that night’s incident, but the actor claimed that the comedian was not yet ready to meet with him. He also apologised to Rock and others in the five-minute video, including Rock’s mother, Rose Rock.</p>

<p>"I want to apologize to Chris' mother," the 53-year-old star said. "I saw an interview that Chris' mother did, and, you know, that was one of the things about that moment. I just didn't realize, and, you know, I wasn't thinking, but how many people got hurt in that moment," the actor added.</p>

Chris Rock ‘not ready’ to speak to Will Smith after apology video for Oscar slap

<p>It seems that American comedian Chris Rock is in no mood to address Will Smith's apology video, but is still okay&nbsp;making passing jokes about the Oscar incident. While performing on a stage in Atlanta on Friday night for his 'Chris Rock Ego Death World Tour',&nbsp;he addressed the infamous slap and called the 'Men In Black' actor 'Suge Smith'.</p>

<p>Rock's comments came&nbsp;hours after Smith posted a six-minute-long video to show how "deeply remorseful" he is for slapping the former during the Academy Awards in March.</p>

<p>"Everybody is trying to be a f---ing victim. If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims," Rock said. "Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith. I went to work the next day, I got kids."</p>

<p>Rock later quipped, "Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face."</p>

<p>Smith's latest apology video starts with the text, "Over the last few months, I've been doing a lot of thinking and personal work. You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer."</p>

<p>Smith is then seen entering a room and talking about&nbsp;his altercation with Rock. He explained&nbsp;why he didn't apologize to Rock during his Oscar win acceptance speech for best actor in 'King Richard'. "I was fogged out by that point," he said. "It's all fuzzy."</p>

<p>Smith also shared that he's tried to contact Rock, but he indicated that he's not ready to talk and will reach out when he feels comfortable. "So I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behaviour was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you are ready to talk," Smith adds.</p>
