Dave Chappelle addressed DaBaby’s homophobic comments, as well as the industry-wide response to the Blame It on Baby artist’s harmful remarks, in his new Netflix special.
Chappelle said he entered the taping with “an objective” related to his series of specials for the streaming platform.
“I came here tonight because this body of work that I’ve done on Netflix, I’m going to complete,” he said. “All the questions you might have had about all these jokes I’ve said in the last few years, I hope to answer tonight.
And I’d like to start by addressing the [LGBTQ] community directly. I want every member of that community to know that I come here tonight in peace and I hope to negotiate the release of DaBaby.”
Chapelle was talking about a legal case DaBaby was wrapped up in some years ago — when cops say he was involved in a fatal shooting at a Walmart in North Carolina … something DB himself has said was done in self-defense, and for which he skated.
