Dave Chappelle has been stirring up controversy for a while now. His transphobic comments in his previous standup specials culminated in a walkout at Netflix HQ, and Chappelle has relished in the backlash, saying he loves being cancelled.
Netflix has far from cancelled Chappelle, however, and the streaming giant has now released Chappelle’s speech at his alma mater as its own special, What’s in a Name: Speech at Duke Ellington School of the Arts. In the release, Chappelle addresses his decision to not have the new theater in the school named after him, along with his continued transphobic comments and the blowback they entail.
