Comedian, Dave Chappelle refuses his alma mater from renaming theater after him following student backlash over ‘anti-gay’ jokes.

No Comments

US comedian, Dave Chappelle has decided against having his name attached to a new performing arts theater at his old high school, following student backlash to his controversial Netflix comedy special, “The Closer”. 

According to the Washington Post,  Chappelle made the announcement at the theater dedication ceremony Monday night, June 20 at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, in Washington D.C. 

The event had been delayed since November after students at the school criticized the comedian for The Closer, which featured a number of jokes seen as transphobic and homophobic.

At the dedication ceremony on Monday, June 20, Chappelle spoke about the rift between him and the student body, making it clear he was “hurt” by the backlash. 

 Chappelle said, “No matter what they say about The Closer, it is still [one of the] most-watched specials on Netflix,” adding that it was a “masterpiece.”

Chappelle described himself as “maybe a once in a lifetime talent.” Speaking to the student backlash, Chappelle said “these kids didn’t understand that they were instruments of artistic oppression.”


He added, “The more you say I can’t say something, the more urgent it is for me to say it.”


Instead of featuring his name, Chappelle said the venue will be called the Theater for Artistic Freedom and Expression.


After the initial Duke Ellington backlash in November, Chappelle returned to the school to discuss the controversy around his special with nearly 600 students. Politico reported at the time that the comedian was met by hostile students, and was accused of endangering trans lives and told that he was handling the storm of criticism like a “child.”

Chappelle is Duke Ellington’s most famous former student and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the school.


He has also brought various actors and comedians to the campus, including Bradley Cooper and Chris Tucker.

Comedian alleges assault by Imo State Assembly dep speaker

No Comments

A Nigerian comedian identified as Franklin Ozuruigbo has accused the Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Amara Iwuanyanwu, of allegedly assaulting him.

Speaking with journalists in Owerri, the state capital, on Monday, March 15, Ozuruigbo alleged that the Chief of Staff to the Deputy Speaker, Paul Duru, tricked him to the deputy speaker’s lodge in Owerri on Friday.

He claimed to have been deceived into waiting for the deputy speaker, who reportedly arrived at midnight and ordered he should be beaten up for his skits on social media.

The comedian, who hails from the same community with the deputy speaker, Dim na Nume community, said he was later taken to the police command headquarters in Owerri.

Ozurigbo, who showed journalists one of his broken arms tied with bandages, said he had been hospitalized since he left police custody.

He said;

“I am here to let the world know how the Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Amara Iwuanyanwu, brutalised me in his lodge on Friday night.

“After ordering his boys to beat me up, he whisked me away to the police command headquarters in Owerri and dumped me there.

“He said I was abusing him on Facebook through my videos, but I have never mentioned his name in any of my skits.

I am just a comedian doing my job.

I worked for his victory in 2019.

I am surprised he decided to brutalise me.

“I want the world to hold the deputy speaker responsible should anything happen to me or any member of my family.

I also fear that I was poisoned at his lodge because I took drinks they gave to me before his arrival because I never suspected foul play.

I have been having stomach upsets since I took that drink.

I will seek legal redress after I have been certified fit and healthy by my doctor.”

The Chief of Staff to the Deputy Speaker, Duru, said Ozurigbo was not brutalized by his principal.

He explained that the comedian was arrested following a petition his principal wrote to the state Commissioner of Police on character defamation by the comedian.

The aide said the comedian had been defaming Iwuanyanwu to “extort more money from him after he gave him N300,000 five months ago.”
