Dave Chappelle was performing at the Hollywood Improv Comedy Club in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (January 16) with Chappelle’s Show co-star Donnell Rawlings. During their time on stage, Rawlings asked Chappelle what happened when R. Kelly confronted him about his infamous “Piss On You” sketch.
“The week that sketch came out we were in Chicago at a Common show and his goons busted in my room,” he says in a clip obtained by TMZ. “I don’t know if it was his goons, but they sure did like him. [Kelly said to me], ‘How you gonna do that video with me peeing on a bitch like that?’ And I said, ‘How you gonna make a video like that?’ My mind’s telling me no. But you know what? My body’s telling me yes.”
Chappelle’s Show co-creator Neal Brennan recently spoke about what Kelly’s goons that night in an interview with The Breakfast Club.
“I don’t think people understand what comedy is supposed to do,” Brennan said earlier this week. “We will observe things, we will make fun of things. Did people want us to round up a posse and go arrest R. Kelly? His goons stepped to Dave in Chicago and Dave’s goons intervened. The goons negotiated.”
The “Piss On You” sketch debuted in 2003 after a video of the R&B star urinating on a young girl surfaced in 2002. Kelly’s inappropriate sexual behavior was recently explored in Lifetime’s six-part documentary, Surviving R. Kelly. Chappelle spoke about the aftermath of the docu-series and encouraged his fellow comedians to speak up when something doesn’t seem right.
Despite Kelly’s questionable past, Chappelle reluctantly handed the King of R&B crown to Kellz at a show in Toronto last month.
CHAPPELLE GOAT
It’s a comedians job to make us laugh not be the judge, jury and executioner. FOH to anyone getting all social justice on comedy.
The burden of proof is on the state. it is ON THE STATE! You need to prove to ME beyond a reasonable doubt, whether or not this man is a pisser.
I agree.. I mean atleast give us a bitch who says it was her. Lol that girl said it wasnt her.. Give me something beside bitter ex hoes accusations
C’mon man, I’m as big a Kells fan as anybody…but if you gonna deny this shit you dumb as a muthafucka. And nobody needs to prove anything to YOU unless you on the jury. The court of public opinion is not a real thing no matter what twitter tells you. R. Kelly is just another powerful black man shitting on his own people while they go gaga over him and blame white people. People acting like Kelly was able to do that shit cuz they were black girls…fuck outta here he got away with that shit cuz he was R. Kelly. Just like MJ got away with fuckin little white boys cuz he was MJ.
Chill, it’s a chappelle’s show quote
How come we blasting Kelly for shit from 20 years but giving Tekashi a pass for doing just as foul shit recently?
Bruh, who‘s giving Tekashi a pass? Last I checked he’s facing life in prison and Kelly‘s a free man.
