“Chris left the stage that night,” a source told DailyMail.com. ‘His routine was not suitable for children.
“Coupled with the fact that people were filming when it was agreed that it would not be recorded, led to their decision to end the performance.”

Rock, who will host SNL this weekend, began his presentation with a joke about the political climate in the United States.
‘Our new impulse will be outer space. We will put all the Mexicans on the rockets,’ he joked.
But it was stated that he then “I saw something like it shouldn’t be recorded, filmed, reported or anything else that shouldn’t happen” before abruptly ending his “very brief presentation,” according to New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams.
She recalled how he “didn’t complain, didn’t explain, didn’t do another minute” before leaving.
He was “moving quickly, strongly, through the people toward the exit doors.”

This weekend’s incident comes after Rock came under scrutiny for a chilling joke he made about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs teaching children ‘the evil of evil.’
