À propos de cet audio
In recent days, Dave Chappelle has been making waves with his performances and public appearances. Notably, he participated in the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, where he tackled the topic of free speech in America. Chappelle joked that speaking about certain figures, like Charlie Kirk, can lead to cancellation in the U.S. and noted, "It's easier to talk here than it is in America," a statement that sparked significant backlash given Saudi Arabia's human rights record, as highlighted by Human Rights Watch and other organizations.
According to various reports, including AOL and The Daily Caller, this performance was part of a festival that drew over 50 comedians, including Pete Davidson, Kevin Hart, and Aziz Ansari, all of whom faced criticism for their involvement. The event coincided with the seventh anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's killing, further fueling controversy.
Separately, Chappelle surprised fans with an unexpected appearance at 50 Cent's charity event, the Humor and Harmony Weekend in Shreveport, Louisiana. This was part of 50 Cent's effort to raise funds for underprivileged youth through his G-Unity Foundation.
In the world of comedy, Chappelle is set to release a new Netflix special on New Year's Eve, marking his seventh collaboration with the streaming giant. This special will follow a string of successful releases, including "Sticks and Stones" and "The Closer," which garnered both acclaim and controversy.
On social media and in the press, Chappelle continues to be a topic of discussion, often for his bold statements and performances. His recent activities have solidified his position as a prominent figure in comedy, with both his stage presence and public appearances continuing to draw attention and debate.
