Comedian Chris Rock has received a slew of criticism since hosting the Oscars on Sunday (Feb. 28) and Rick Ross is among those who were not impressed. During an interview with a Washington, D.C. radio station, the Black Market rapper called Rock “a cornball” for his Oscars monologue.
While talking with the hosts of D.C.'s 93.9, Ross made his snide remarks toward Rock and even revealed that he's not a fan of the actor.
“Chris Rock, he a cornball. Let’s keep it real,” Ross said. "I ain't even finna kick it with y'all like that. Chris Rock a cornball. And I'mma leave it right there. It wasn't funny. He ain't the one. I'm not a fan of his."
During his monologue, Rock took shots at Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith, addressed racism in Hollywood and cracked jokes with Kevin Hart.
It is unclear when and where things went south between Ross and Rock, but it is possible that the rapper has been holding a grudge against Rock since his hosting stint at the 2014 BET Awards. During his monologue at that show, Rock poked fun at Ross’ weight while also referring to him as his favorite rapper.
“[Dr.] Dre’s got headphones, so now everybody else trying to get headphones,” he said. “50 Cent got headphones. Rick Ross even has headphones. That’s right. Dre got Beats. Rick Ross has dia-Beats. They’re the headphones you put on swollen feet before you chop them off.”
Elsewhere in his spiel, he said that Ross would be the “first rapper to die of breast cancer.”
Since then, Ross has lost a considerable amount of weight, but it's still safe to say that the love Rock has for the rapper has not been reciprocated.
