“Chris Rock is broken,” Smith explained. “Chris Rock will never get over this. Never.”

He continued, “Will Smith has apologized. I’m not saying he needs to apologize at all. I’m saying I watch him and Martin Lawrence promote this movie, and I’m pretty sure the reason he hasn’t gone along with it is because the studios don’t want that, and you have an obligation to them. That’s fair, I understand that. But somewhere along the way he has to sit down and talk to the black community. You can see as many white people around Will Smith as you want, black people have loved and adored this man for decades.”

Smith stressed that despite his admiration, Will still has a responsibility to improve his relationship with the black community.

“You need to talk about why you did this. It is primarily us black people who loved and supported you and saw you punch one of our own in the face on an international stage,” he added.

“A lot of people can’t get over it. A lot of people have a hard time just going to the movies to watch you. I’m one of those people and I’ve never missed a Will Smith movie.”

Stephen A. Smith’s opinion may be subjective, especially given the success of “Bad Boys: Ride or Die”, The film exceeded all expectations, grossing $56 million domestically and $104 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
