The announcement caused outrage on social mediums, with the hastag #OscarsSoWhite, one of the trending topics.
Coloured celebrities who had been invited for the awards, had for this same reason, turned down their invitations publicly.
Rapper, Snoop Dogg, went as far as telling the organisers of the Oscars, "F**k You."
Rapper 50 Cent has now taken to instagram to plead with Rock to turn down his role as the host for the show.
He shared a photo of the comedian, saying:
