“When I left that show I never got paid.
They didn’t have to pay me because I signed the contract.
But is that right?

Perfectly legal ‘cause I signed the contract.
But is that right?
I didn’t think so either.”
He later explained that the stress of producing the show and issues of creative control led him to quit.
“I didnt like the direction of the show,“Chappelle said at the time.
“I was trying to explain it to people, and no one was feeling me.
“So you know what I did?”
“I called them and I told them that this makes me feel bad.
And you want to know what they did?
They agreed that they would take it off their platform just so I could feel better.
Thats why I f— with Netflix.
They did something just because they thought that I might think that they were wrong.
I think that if you are f—ing streaming that show youre fencing stolen goods.”
Netflix had no comment on the matter.
Representatives for Comedy Central did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
Why don’t you just doChappelle’s Showat another internet?'”
He also implored his fans not to stream the series until the dispute is resolved.
“Im not asking you to boycott any data pipe boycott me.
Do not watch it unless they pay me.”
Or, I can just take it.”
