Chris Rock called Will Smith a 'b***h' as he unleashed a fiery attack on the actor in his new Netflix special.

Fans were eagerly anticipating the live stand-up performance, which aired last night (March 4), as the comedian had made it clear he was going to address the infamous Oscars slap.

Rock had been testing out material ahead of the big night, including one joke where he said he only watched Smith's film Emancipation so he 'could watch him getting whipped'.

Though he went on a different tirade in the special, titled Selective Outrage, it was equally as scathing, having said 'everybody' calls the Fresh Prince star a 'b***h'.

Amongst roars of laughter from the audience, Rock says: "Y'all know what happened to me, getting smacked by 'Suge Smith'."

The name is seemingly a reference to Suge Knight, the Death Row Records founder who was sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2018 for manslaughter.

"I got smacked at the f***ing Oscars by this motherf***er," he continues.

Rock went on to say that while the slap 'hurt', he didn't cry about it because he's 'not a victim'.

"You will never see me on Oprah or Gayle, crying," appearing to roast Smith's tearful apologies in the aftermath of his outburst.

"You will never see it, never gonna happen... I took that hit like [Manny] Pacquiao."

The infamous Oscars slap unfolded last year.

While ripping on the actor and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, including her 'entanglement' with her son's friend, the comedian said 'everybody in the world called him a b***h' after the scandal was discussed in an episode of Pinkett Smith's Facebook series Red Table Talk.

Rock listed all of the people who called Smith a 'b***h', saying: "Charlemagne called him a b***h, The Breakfast Club called him a b***h, and The View, The Talk and every rapper, and The Drink Champs called him a f***ing b***h."

Told you it was fiery.

Elsewhere, the comedian made a jibe about Smith's latest film project Emancipation, which saw the actor play a slave who escapes captivity and goes to fight with Abraham Lincoln's army during the American Civil War.

He says that he 'rooted for Will Smith' his whole life, adding, "And now, I watch Emancipation just to see him get whooped."

Rock didn't hold back.

Finishing his set, he explains why he didn't hit Smith back, saying: "I've got parents, and you know what my parents taught me? Don’t fight in front of white people."

Just after uttering these words, he drops the mic, causing the audience to erupt with laughter and cheers.
