Who is her father Chris Rock?

Chris was often bullied and beaten up by white students while growing up, and this led him to drop out of James Madison High School; he eventually took and passed his GED tests. He worked at various fast-food restaurants prior to launching his career as a comedian.
Chris’ comedic journey began in New York City in the 1980s; he gained recognition for his distinctive style, which blended humor with social and political commentary. His breakthrough came when he joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live” in 1990, as he became known for his memorable characters such as ‘Nat X’ and ‘I’m Chillin’.
In 1996, Chris’ career skyrocketed as he released his debut comedy special “Bring the Pain”; this groundbreaking special earned him critical acclaim and solidified his status as one of the best comedians in the industry, as well as earned him two Emmy Awards.
