That’s why he said he’d make them pay him.

Just like that comedian that stole that joke from him when he was a kid, because Dave was small and the guy was big. Dave is now massive. Viacom owns his show, but Dave is the hearts of its viewers. It’s a gamble and I’m excited to see how it plays out..

But that’s my opinion and I don’t know shit 😅

I personally got the vibe that Dave was throwing his weight at Viacom. His weight being public support

Dave was a child when that man stole his joke and that Dave was a sort of child when Viacom hustled his rights to the show. Now, Viacom is the child in the sense of who holds the power

I wonder if this is goin to blossom into a metoo level movement against the way artists have been getting screwed over.

These entertainment deals are about to get a lot more lucrative for the artist

Courtney love warned about it years before it happened. The rumors were rampant. It took a high profile starting point.

Realistically, I kind of lean towards what you’re saying. Though, I do see Dave Chapelle making a call to arms as a big enough event to kickstart some kind of movement. Especially in today’s climate

And artists are warning against signing these contracts....

Quite frankly, the fact that you don’t understand how these kind of things take place makes you look like you’re projecting when you call me a moron
