Tony Rock Criticizes Will Smith's New Album

Tony Rock, brother of comedian Chris Rock, has harshly criticized Will Smith's new album 'Based On A True Story,' accusing Smith of using the 2022 Oscars slap incident for publicity and profit. Tony Rock, who admitted he has not listened to the album, called it 'trash' and asserted that its main selling point is Smith's references to the Oscars controversy, directly addressed in multiple tracks. The album is Smith's first in nearly 20 years but has failed to chart on Billboard and sold only 268 copies in its first week in the UK. Tony dismissed any possibility of reconciliation between Will and Chris Rock, stating they would 'never be friends.' He also pointed out that all parties involved have financially benefited since the incident, and noted the irony in being told to move on while Smith continues to reference the slap. The album has received poor reviews from critics and has been mocked by other comedians for its lack of impact.
