Dave Chappelle has zero Fs in terms of making his opinions identified. The long-lasting comic is as soon as once more stirring dialog, this time by calling out DJ Khaled for his lack of public response to the warfare in Gaza. Extra like lifeless silence.

Get this, throughout a current set on the packed Etihad Area for Abu Dhabi Comedy Season, Chappelle used a second from the gang as a springboard to supply pointed criticism of the Miami-based producer’s silence on a disaster affecting his heritage.

“DJ Khaled, let me let you know one thing,” Chappelle stated to roaring laughter and applause. “For a Palestinian, this man is terribly quiet proper now. And as a Palestinian, how may you be that quiet proper now? And why are you so fats? Persons are ravenous. He’s the one fats Palestinian on Earth proper now.”

That final line. We’re not laughing. However … sheesh.

Chappelle has not held again in his vocal assist for Palestinian lives all through the continued battle. For the reason that violence escalated in October 2023, the comic has spoken overtly about what he described as “genocide” whereas performing in cities internationally. The Abu Dhabi crowd responded with enthusiasm as he sharpened his give attention to public figures he feels are staying too quiet.

Chappelle just isn’t the one voice questioning Khaled’s absence from the dialog. Earlier this 12 months in February, Khaled’s cousin, Fadie Musallet, expressed deep disappointment throughout a televised interview. “There’s no motive, there’s no excuse whenever you’re really a Palestinian,” Musallet stated. “For me, my mom lives there. We’re from the identical village, similar households. So, there’s no excuse… I do plenty of work with refugee camps, increase cash for Gaza and the West Financial institution. I put my coronary heart into this.”

What do you assume, does Dave Chappelle have a degree?
