Dave Chappelle Tests Positive for COVID-19

Dave Chappelle is celebrating his arrival in Ghana by dancing. The comedian is on hand for Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa’s Black Star Line Festival. Chappelle is on hand to be part of the line-up, in conversation with Chance and had a pop-lock session with African dancers.

Ahead of co-headlining the festival with Chance the Rapper and Chappelle in Ghana this week, Vic Mensa is helping the area by bringing clean water to three villages.

According to TMZ, Mensa made a previous trip to Ghana and stated that after seeing the villages’ conditions, including poor water sources, he decided to make an impact. Mensa would partner with his father, a Ghana native, to launch an initiative.

“We’re building 3 boreholes in different communities in Ghana to provide clean drinking water; the first being the Asokore Zongo in Koforidua where my family lives, which is already built,” Vic said. “The other locations are a nearby community called Effiduase and then our ancestral village in the Volta Region, Amedzofe. Most people in communities like this in Ghana experience constant waterborne diseases.”

Dave Chappelle Attacker Hit With Prison Sentence

by

We all remember the video from earlier this year of Dave Chappelle being attacked while on stage. Seven months later, the man responsible for the attack, Isaiah Lee is receiving jail time for the offense.

The incident occurred during the comedian’s appearance at the Hollywood Bowl in May. Video footage taken by other members of the audience shows the attack taking place. Seemingly out of nowhere, Lee leaps from the front row of the crowd to jump up on the stage.

He subsequently bum-rushes Chappelle and tackles him. The comedian’s security and entourage were quick in their response, not allowing for the attacker to get very far.

Upon collecting himself, the 49-year-old proceeded to joke about the situation. “Thank God he was clumsy. He’s back there getting stomped,” he exclaimed while catching his breath.

According to a report from Deadline, Lee has now pleaded no contest to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. As a result, he receives 270 days in jail.

Although the attacker had a replica handgun containing a hidden knife at the time of the assault, Chappelle suffered no injuries.

Later reports indicated that Lee had actually made a rap song about the comedian in 2020, in which he makes reference to the future attack. “Walkin’ straight into da Bowl,” he raps.

This news arrives on the heels of Chappelle recently receiving backlash for another one of his shows. Just a few days ago, he brought out his friend Elon Musk to join him on stage in San Fransisco.

The new owner of Twitter was immediately met with boos. In his since-deleted response to the situation, the SpaceX CEO wrote, “Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter).”

Of course, Musk has been under a lot of fire ever since the handling of his acquisition of Twitter in October.

After promptly firing major employees, he has gone on to roll out a paid verification feature, in which anyone can obtain a blue check – so long as they pay $7.99/month.

He also re-launched the Twitter Blue service, charging iPhone users more than other subscribers to access the “subscriber-only features.”

Finally, what do you think of the 270-day sentence? Comment down below and continue to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Dave Chappelle’s Attacker Sentenced to 270 Days in Jail

Dave Chappelle's Attacker Charged with Attempted Murder From A Different Attack

Dave Chappelle’s onstage attacker pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 270 days in county jail, according to Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office.

The attacker, Isaiah Lee, was charged with one misdemeanor count of battery and entering a restricted area during a live event. The plea was entered nearly two months after a judge requested a diversion program that could dismiss the charges for Lee.

According to Deadline, Lee is currently behind bars for a different case. Last year, Lee was charged with stabbing his roommate at a transitional housing facility.

Chappelle was attacked onstage on May 3 while performing for the Netflix Is a Joke Festival.

Elon Musk Booed By Crowd At Dave Chappelle Show

A crowd at Dave Chappelle’s latest show in San Francisco booed Elon Musk when the billionaire was brought on stage, Sunday night. Footage from the event shows Musk receiving overwhelming disapproval from the audience.

“Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world,” Chappelle said firstly to introduce Musk.

“It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” Chappelle joked. “All these people who are booing, and I’m just pointing out the obvious, you have terrible seats.”

When the boos persisted, Chappelle continued to defend a seemingly uncomfortable Musk.

“Don’t say nothing. It’ll only spoil the moment,” Chappelle further said. “Do you hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest. I can’t wait to see what store you decimate next, motherfucker. You shut the fuck up.”

Twitter appears to have suspended the owner of the original video or they have deleted their account as there is a message reading: “This Tweet is from an account that no longer exists.”

Musk later responded to the video of the incident going viral on Twitter.

“Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter),” he wrote. “It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.”

Musk has been drawing plenty of criticism in recent weeks since purchasing Twitter. Over the weekend, he came under fire for criticizing Anthony Fauci with an unoriginal joke about pronouns.

The star-studded tribute concert was attended by Travis Barker, Wolfgang Van Halen, Alanis Morrissette, Pink, Miley Cyrus, members of Queen, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and more.

Jack Black also made an appearance to introduce Rush, who he labeled as “one of Taylor’s favorite bands of all time.”

The night concluded with Hawkins’ son, Shane, taking over the drums to help the Foo Fighters perform “Hero.”

“Taylor Hawkins is a legend of a man, he’s a legend of a musician and he’s a legend of a father,” Chappelle previously said of Hawkins at the Foo Fighters’ first tribute concert for the late musician.

Hawkins served as the drummer for the Foo Fighters from 1997 through his death, earlier this year. He passed away at 50 years old in a hotel in Bogotá, Colombia.

Late last week, Fat Joe has announced a one-man standup performance on stage in New York City this fall where he will deliver never-before-heard stories based on his legendary life and achievements.

The live performance, which will be co-produced by Roc Nation and Magic Lemonade and directed by Chris Robinson, will feature a special introduction by Dave Chappelle. The Book of Jose, Joe’s impending biography, will serve as the basis for his stories, which will also include cameos from other celebrities. In the upcoming weeks, event and ticket information will be released.

Hip-best hop’s storyteller will share an unprecedented, first-person account of the events that changed the course of his career for good, including becoming a superstar, being abducted in Africa, and going through incarceration. The one-man performance will additionally provide a unique glimpse into the highs and lows of Joe’s difficult yet motivational life.

“The world will be getting Fat Joe at his most authentic, vulnerable, and comedic self on that stage,” Fat Joe said. “I’m not holding anything back. I’ve always taken pride in my storytelling, but we’re about to take it to the next
level. I’m grateful to Dave Chappelle, Roc Nation and Magic Lemonade for their support in sharing my story and helping make this one-man show the biggest event ever.”

Joe’s on-stage comments will be accompanied by vintage film, video interviews with his family, friends, and associates, and music from the multiplatinum discography of the Terror Squad CEO.

“I’ve worked with great storytellers, but Fat Joe is easily one of the greatest of all-time,” Magic Lemonade executive producer Rikki Hughes said. “Magic Lemonade is excited to work with Joe and Roc Nation to bring his story to life in an unexpected way.” 

The Book of Jose, which will examine how Joe overcame the drug- and violence-ravaged South Bronx of the 1980s to become one of the foremost powerhouses of his generation, was also announced for release this year by the Bronx native. The book will be available for purchase on November 15 and may be preordered at https://bit.ly/BookofJose.
