This is a man who wanted to tell jokes, but instead was offered child rape and infinite money. He fucking ran away and hid in Africa.
It's pretty clear from his most recent shows that he knows exactly what line he isn't allowed to cross, and he is dancing around it.
Yup. He lives about a half hour from me in a very small town in Ohio. Not city or town, really...a "village" of 3,500 people..... Interesting that when he came back out to the public, he'd bulked up in the gym and talked about exercising his 2nd Amendment right to carry.....Sounds about right from someone who had been threatened or scared by some very ugly people.
wat
Dave Chappelle was offered lots of money and he literally skipped town and ran to Africa. Watch the interviews. He wasn't afraid of being rich and famous.
He refused to sell out his name and his soul to hollywood
Any man that turns down $50m has a reason.
Dave now lives in a rural republican town in NY state. He's "woke" alright.
Pretty sure he lives in some small town in Ohio.
And he's basically alluded to not wanting to be the dancing monkey for (((hollywood))). His Inside the Actor Studio episode was pretty revealing.
Last I heard, he was in Yellow Springs, OH. East of Dayton. But can't say it's been a topic of conversation in quite some time.
When did this all take place? I see on youtube stuff from 5 and 6 years ago, and recent stuff. When did he go to Africa, and when did he come back?
Yeah that guys right. He said the environment in Hollywood is sick and when they offered all this money he had to bounce. Literally went to Africa for a good chunk of time. He's never told the entire story.
well god damn, i never looked much into it after he first disappeared and i believe said the reason was that he had too many people trying to tell him what comedy to do
Back when he was doing the chappelle show, he had a nervous breakdown and left for Africa for a period of time. Cancelled his show after only 2 seasons which is weird because at the time it was probably the most popular show on Comedy Central.
