Did Kevin Hart Really Give Chris Rock a Goat Named Will Smith?
Kevin Hart, Chris Rock, and Dave Chapelle recently held a joint show at the Madison Square Garden in New York. Fortunately, nobody got slapped this time, but Kevin Hart did have a big surprise for Chris Rock... a goat he named Will Smith.
The gesture is a nod to the "slap heard around the world" where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock during the Academy Awards for making a G.I. Jane joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. When Hart revealed the goat's name as Will Smith, it elicited laughter from the audience, according to People Magazine.

Following the show, Kevin Hart sat down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. He talked about the farm animal he gave to his friend, Chris Rock. Hart said that "Chris is my G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time)" and added that he is his guy. Hart also said that he wanted Rock to "feel that and the experience the world of understanding how I feel about him in front of that audience."
The goat was a gift to a mentor and a friend, according to Hart, who said that he owes his career to Chris Rock. The comedian and actor admitted that Rock gave him insights he used in his career.
During the interview, Hart told Fallon that Chris almost broke down and cried after the audience cheered for him. He said it was a real moment you do not see enough of.
According to Us Magazine, that moment was not planned either... and it also pooped on stage. Hart told Fallon that the goat was supposed to only come out for two minutes, but it pooped on Rock's shoes. He said that Rock had white moon boots on, and the goat "destroyed" them.
