The actor admitted he didn’t watch the ceremony, but he was left fuming after he saw a clip online in which the comedian – who was hosting the bash – joked about the actress boycotting the event .

Speaking during his opening monologue, Chris said: “Jada got mad, Jada says she’s not coming, protesting, I’m like – doesn’t she have a TV show?

“Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.”

Fast & Furious star Tyrese has not taken kindly to the comments, and wrote a scathing response on Instagram.

He said: “I didn’t watch – I didn’t – but online people are talking and someone posted the tasteless joke that Chris Rock did in his opening

“Did you really use your STAGE to tear down and diminish one of the strongest most fearless black women IN this town as the world watched??? Jokes are just jokes right????

“Not when someone is trying to affect change……… Not when someone is willing to put it ALL on the line to affect change for our daughters and sons of the future…….. Shame on you Chris Rock (sic)”
