Chris Rock Criticizes Will Smith's Promotion of 'Bad Boys 4' Amid European Tour

As Will Smith and Martin Lawrence embark on a European tour to promote their upcoming film Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die, comedian Chris Rock has voiced a harsh critique, predicting that the movie will fail at the box office.

Smith, accompanied by his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, kicked off the promotional tour with a glitzy premiere in Dubai last week. This week, the star duo has made several high-profile appearances across Europe. On Sunday, May 26, Smith attended a photocall in Madrid, Spain, sporting a stylish burgundy outfit. The following day, he joined Lawrence for the film’s European premiere at Zoo Palast in Berlin, Germany, where he donned a gray suit with a subtle print, while Lawrence chose a monochromatic black ensemble with jeweled accents.

Despite the promotional blitz, Chris Rock has been vocal in his skepticism about the film’s prospects. Rock, who has had a contentious relationship with Smith following their infamous Oscars incident, didn’t mince words. “I think Bad Boys 4 is going to flop and lose money,” Rock stated in a recent interview, casting a shadow over the film’s release.

Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die is set to hit theaters on June 7. The film, a continuation of the popular action-comedy franchise, has been highly anticipated by fans eager to see Smith and Lawrence reunite on screen. However, Rock’s comments have added an unexpected layer of controversy to the movie’s promotional efforts.

In related news, Smith recently revealed that Vanessa Hudgens’ pregnancy posed some unique challenges during the filming of the movie, adding to the intrigue surrounding its production.

As the release date approaches, audiences will soon see if Bad Boys 4 lives up to the legacy of its predecessors or if Rock’s grim prediction will come true.
