They probably knew each other personally. That’s why he wasn’t scared of Chris Rock. He knows Chris Rock ain’t about it. He knew Chris Rock wasn’t going to throw back. And on top of all of that, Chris Rock made a bald joke. Listen, Chris Rock had better material. He could have come in much harder. He went in very very softly.”
