Dave Chappelle isn’t pulling punches when it comes to Will Smith.

The comedian, 49, said at the start this weekend of his European stand-up tour with Chris Rock that pal Smith, 53, “did an impression of a perfect man for 30 years” before he slapped Rock during the Oscars in March, Deadline reports.

“I just hope he doesn’t put that mask back on,” said Chappelle.

Smith took to the Oscars stage where Brooklyn-raised Rock, 57, was presenting an award and slapped the comic after he joked that Jada Pinkett Smith’s shorter hairstyle looked like “G.I. Jane 2.”

Shortly after hitting and screaming profanities at Rock, Smith accepted the best actor Oscar for his starring role in “King Richard.”

The incident led to a formal review by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which then banned Smith from its events for a decade.

Smith this summer issued an apology to Rock, who he noted was not yet ready to speak with him. Rock subsequently slammed Smith for portraying himself as a victim.
