He doesn't have much of an online presence, but legendary comedian Chris Rock is paying attention to what's happening on social media. He rarely pops up online, especially in an Instagram Live, but that's exactly what happened recently when Chris Rock sat down for a "Safer At Home" interview.

"My favorite person on Instagram, even though I'm not on...I discovered through Instagram, he's not an Instagram comedian but I discovered—I became familiar with, I don't want to say I discovered him, the guy has a career. Lil Duval," Rock stated. He added that if it wasn't for Instagram, he would have "got to the party late."

"He's such [an] artist with it," Rock continued. "Lil Duval, he's the king of all of this." Charlamagne Tha God, Lil Duval's good friend and longtime collaborator, gave both Chris Rock and Duval a shoutout after reposting the clip of the interview. "I love seeing Kings celebrating Kings!!!
