The television executive, praised Chris Rock on Thursday morning (March 31). “I don’t know how @chrisrock held his composure, but i’m glad he didn’t make a mess of the whole thing. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi,” 50 Cent captioned a post on Instagram.

“He didn’t want the hassle,” Carrey said explaining perhaps why Rock did not press charges. “I’d have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200 million. That video is gonna be there forever. It’s gonna be ubiquitous. You know, that insult is gonna last a very long time.”
