Dave Chappelle Hits Back at Bill Maher and His ‘Smug Cracker-A** Commentary’: ‘F**k That Guy’

.... Netflix dropped Dave Chappelle: Unstoppable on Friday to the surprise of Chappelle fans. In the special, Chappelle went after “whites” comparing assassinated-conservative activist Charlie Kirk to Martin Luther King Jr. He also pushed back on Maher over the comedian calling Chappelle out for his words about free speech while performing in Saudi Arabia.

“Bill Maher, the famous comedian. I’ve known Bill since I was like 18, 19 years old, and I’ve never said this publicly, but f**k that guy,” Chappelle said.

He added, “I’m so f**king tired of his little smug cracker-a** commentary." ....

On Real Time, Maher slammed Chappelle for the comment and dared him to put Saudi Arabia’s speech laws to the test by joking about the Prophet Muhammad. ....

A new special was "dropped", not that they fired Chappelle. The wording was a little confusing.
