Dave Chappelle Dodges Questions About His Old R.Kelly Skits (original) (raw)

The Surviving R. Kelly series may be over, but the fallout from it has seemingly just begun.

Director dream hampton took to Twitter during the airing of the Lifetime documentary and spoke honestly about the several celebrity men she contacted in hopes they’d speak on camera about R. Kelly and the years of sexual allegations that have shadowed him. Among them was Dave Chappelle.

The beloved comic famously made a music video entitled “Piss On You” mocking the real-life video of R. Kelly urinating on an underage girl. During the Chappelle Show heyday, he used R.Kelly’s legal woes as material for years.

TMZ caught with Chappelle in West Hollywood and asked him if he regretted not being featured in hampton’s series and instead he dodged the question.

“Jesus Christ, I just had dinner,” Chappelle said in between taking a drag of his cigarette. “I just ate. Strop bringing that motherf**ker up.”

When pressed about whether or not he thinks his old skits were insensitive, the 45-year-old said “I don’t know. I’d have to watch it again.”

D.L. Hughley joined Chappelle for dinner and commented on R.Kelly and the forthcoming Michael Jackson documentary, Leaving Neverland, which outlines sexual assault allegations against the late singer.

“If you can be mad at R. Kelly, you should be mad at Michael Jackson,” Hughley said.
