Chris Rock on Oscars Boycott: ‘It’s Like Me Boycotting Rihanna’s Panties — I Wasn’t Invited’

‘People went mad, you know? Spike got mad and Jada went mad and Will and everybody went mad, you know?’

ROCK: "But what happened this year? What happened? People went mad, you know? Spike got mad and Jada went mad and Will and everybody went mad, you know? Like -- Jada got mad, Jada says she's not coming, protesting, I'm like -- doesn't she have a TV show? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited. Oh, that's -- it's not an invitation I would turn down. But I understand, I -- I'm not hating. I understand you're mad. Jada is mad. Her man was not nominated. I get it. I get it. You get mad. Said it's not fair that Will was this good and doesn't get nominated. You're right. It is also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for "Wild Wild West," okay?"
