Netflix has removed Dave Chappelle's comedy sketch series 'Chappelle's Show' after the comedian requested them to do so.

"They didn't have to pay me because I signed the contract," Chappelle said in the video."But is that right? I found out that these people were streaming my work and they never had to ask me or they never have to tell me. Perfectly legal 'cause I signed the contract. But is that right? I didn't think so either. That's why I like working for Netflix. I like working for Netflix because when all those bad things happened to me, that company didn't even exist.

"Chappelle's Show" is still available on several ViacomCBS brands, including its original home Comedy Central and CBS All Access, as well as HBO Max, where it was recently licensed. The series, which was created, executive produced and headlined by Chappelle, ran for three seasons between 2003 and 2006.

The removal news comes around three weeks after the show started streaming on Netflix, and only a couple weeks after Chappelle called out both Netflix and HBO Max for streaming his show whenChappelle pointed to the justice of the fact the services were streaming a show that bears his great-grandfather's name yet he didn't get paid for that.

"If he could see me now, he'd probably be like, 'This n--- got bought and sold more than I have,'" Chappelle said on"SNL."

Ummm ok. I really do not see why we need to know. Is it because an artist requested it and not a media exec/company? 🤔

I love how he controls everything now 🤩

🥵🥵🥵

Pompeo said pull this

Smart move by them . His specials are killing the game right now

Chappelle didn’t own the rights anymore to those shows, he sold it. NBC neglects to tell you this..

Standing up for yourself is your first defense!

Don't blame him one bit earn your own money

I can finally sleep.

CBS hbomax should remove the series as well until they pay him.

will they lower my bill?

The strangest thing is that this virus first infected humans, then infected cats, then infected dogs, then infected zoo animals, ... If the virus was naturally evolved the infection chain should be other way around. This proves that the virus is man-made.

No ones cares. Trump is old news

Did anyone else see his “speech” on SNL a few weeks ago? He was so incredibly racist in his remarks. He spoke about white people in such a demeaning way. I’m glad Netflix removed him. We all bleed red. End RacismInAmerica

Sheet im glad I caught fuck you couch!!!!!

Considering that Dave Chappelle has a young daughter, it would be nice if he asked Netflix to also remove their nearly-child porn show, Cuties, from their service as well. Netflix seems intent on broadcasting that shit no matter what so it would be nice if he’d lend a hand.

Why?!

If you have The HOLY SPIRIT in you, HE will tell you that JESUS CHRIST is Holy . 假如聖靈在你裡面,祂会告诉你耶稣基督是聖潔的。

This Man Knows The System & If You Knew The U.S.A. Like He Does You Also Would Move To Africa. His Family Is Educated, They Know Stuff. BIG UP To Dave.👍👍👑

I care as much as Chappelle cares for his audience when he lights a cigarette and blows smoke on their faces.

🤷‍♂️

It's nice to see an artist finally be able to maintain at least a little control over his art

That's right!

Here we go again

WHAT A CAPITALIST! DOESN'T HE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY! I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS THE ONLYL GREEDY AMERICAN. O, WAIT TRUMP IS WHITE. NEVERMIND. WAKANDA FOREVER!

But they didn't remove Cutie's?

Dave Chapelle I’m in love with your heart. Fuck them. When you get paid I will watch it and only when you say it’s ok and not till then. It’s in our contract! ❤️❤️❤️ you got it Dave the X factor fangirling
