Chris Rock has become one of the most-talked about celebrities following Will Smith's Oscars slapping incident. Not to mention the surge in sales of Rock's comedy tour tickets, which has a lot to do with the fiasco with one of Hollywood's most prominent actors during the live broadcast of the 2022 Oscars on Sunday, March 27.

The comedian has been receiving a lot of support from people across the world as netizens have been attacking Smith for his unacceptable behavior on Hollywood's biggest night.

After Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, the night's (and probably this year's) most controversial event happened when WIll Smith stormed the Dolby Theatre stage and slapped the presenter. The King Richard star has now apologized for the mishap with Rock. However, the latter has yet to issue a public comment. Fans are hoping that the comedian will do the required onstage.
