It appears that Chris Rock will only open up about getting slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars if he’s compensated for it. According to a report by Palm Springs Desert Sun, the comedian told a live audience Friday that he won’t be talking about the incident unless he gets paid for it.

The publication shared the news after they detailed Rock’s Indio, California show for his national comedy tour.

Life is good. I got my hearing back,” Rock reportedly said. Whether the comedian was talking about receiving payment via a television broadcast sit-down interview or a civil lawsuit against Will, it’s unclear what he meant by his remarks.

Despite Rock’s comment, he seems to be moving on in a cheerful manner.
