This is following student backlash to his controversial Netflix comedy special, “The Closer”.
According to the Washington Post, Chappelle made the announcement at the theater dedication ceremony Monday night, June 20 at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, in Washington D.C.
The event had been delayed since November after students at the school criticized the comedian for The Closer, which featured a number of jokes seen as transphobic and homophobic.
His words, “No matter what they say about The Closer, it is still [one of the] most-watched specials on Netflix. It was a masterpiece.”
“The more you say I canβt say something, the more urgent it is for me to say it.”
WOW.
