C’mon, you know you’re curious about his side of the story.

Chris Rock is bringing his tour to South Florida and the comedic icon may just break his silence about The Slap Heard Around the World.

The “Grown Ups” star — who was infamously smacked by Will Smith Sunday night at the Oscars after making a (bad) joke about the movie star’s famous wife Jada Pinkett Smith — will be at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood April 14 and 15.

The so called Ego Death World Tour 2022 is the stand-up vet’s first tour in five years. Let’s hope it goes off without an, um, hitch. Just please, Chris: No “GI Jane” jokes.

Though the South Carolina native may be getting the last laugh in this whole debacle. Ticket sales for the funnyman’s tour are said to be booming in the wake of the very public controversy.
