Tony Rock, Chris Rock's brother, took to the stage Friday to give his two cents on the Oscars confrontation between his brother and Will Smith.

Rock said that if Smith tried to slap him on stage, he may not have kept his hands to himself the way his brother had, according to footage obtained by the Shade Room.

"If you think you're going to walk up on this stage — this ain't the motherfucking Oscars — and if you walk your ass up here, you ain't nominated for shit but these motherfucking hands," Rock said during his set, which was part of the Raleigh, North Carolina, stop on the No Remorse Comedy Tour.

He went on to say that he and Smith would "pop" every time they saw each other.

The 47-year-old comedian voiced his opinions to a cheering crowd as he walked across the stage.

"You're going to hit my motherfucking brother because your bitch gave you a side-eye?" Rock said, referencing Jada Pinkett Smith, who Chris Rock made a joke about right before Smith walked on stage and hit him.

Rock has been advocating for his brother over the past week since infamous altercation took place at Sunday night's Oscars. On Tuesday, he replied to fans on Twitter, saying that he did not approve of the statement Smith put out apologizing for the incident.
