The celebrated Funny man of Hollywood is known for being just too good with his word and jokes, but sometimes it simply has a radical effect on his image. Chris Rock has been in the limelight ever since “slapgate” with Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars. What followed after the entire drama, is now a part of history. Chris Rock was lauded by his fans and the organization that conducts the Academy Awards for keeping his calm, whereas the instant rage and reaction of the King Richard star took a toll on his career and reputation, and even led to him getting banned from the Academy for the next ten years.

The 58-year-old funny man was present at the John F Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts. He honored Adam Sandler with the Mark Twain Prize For American Humor. The goofy actor was recognized for his work in the field of acting, writing, and directing in Hollywood. As many prominent faces like Nancy Pelosi, from Joe Biden’s administration, were present at the Kennedy Center crowd, Chris Rock openly joked about Ex-President Donald Trump and the charges against him. He even joked about reports of Donald Trump paying a huge sum of money to an American p*rnstar to keep his alleged affair with her under the wraps around 2016 when he was in talks of running for the Presidential elections.

Chris Rock compared the news of Ex-President Donald Trump’s arrest with the popularity of the late American rapper, Tupac Shakur. After the arrest of one of the most influential rappers of all time, he became more popular around the world.

“Do you know this is only going to make him more popular? It’s like arresting Tupac. He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?”

With politicians attracting the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, Rock will never run out of content. The comedian even went out to crack a joke on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi.
