Posted by Dave Chappelle’s The Closer special hits Netflix on Tuesday (October 5) and TMZ got their hands on a clip that finds the comedy legend addressing the fallout from DaBaby‘s controversial comments he made at Rolling Loud Miami earlier this year.
Chappelle was puzzled at DaBaby being “canceled” for his anti-LGBTQ+ comments in comparison to there being no outrage for the Charlotte rapper killing someone at a Walmart in 2018.
“A lot of the LGBTQ community doesn’t know about DaBaby’s history,” the comedian explained. “He once shot a n-gga and killed him in Walmart. Oh this is true, Google it. Nothing bad happened to his career. Do you see where I’m going with this? In our country, you can shoot and kill a n-gga, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings.”
The Ohio native’s connection is a stretch with DaBaby being cleared of any wrongdoing with his charges being dropped since it was ruled he acted in self-defence. DaBaby shot and killed a 19-year-old in a North Carolina Walmart in November of 2018, claiming the victim was attempting to rob him.
Following DaBaby’s homophobic Rolling Loud Miami rant, he was removed from the lineup of a handful of festivals including Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Day N Vegas and more.
