When I left that show, I never got paid.

They didnt have to pay me, because I signed the contract.

But is that right?

Perfectly legal cause I signed the contract.

But is that right?

They did something just because they thought that I might think that they were wrong.

I think that if you are fucking streaming that show, youre fencing stolen goods.

But he didnt stop there Chappelle called out the business practices of the entertainment industry as a whole.

I believe that they gave me a raw deal because this fucking industry is a monster.

Its the same monster that these Me Too bitches was trying to tell you about.

But they hate the monster for how it fucks, and I hate that monster for how it eats.

But my God, man, its the same monster.

He also went after HBO Max for streaming the show after having passed on it originally.

Did you know beforeChappelles Showwas at Comedy Central, I pitched that show to HBO?

I told them what I wanted to do.

But they didnt say either of those things.

They went too far.

They said, literally, What do we needyoufor?

Thats what they told me as they kicked me out of the office: What do we needyoufor?

So Im asking them: What do you needmefor?

Im not asking you to boycott any web connection boycott me.

Do not watch it unless they pay me.

Thats what they told me.

So if youre a shareholder in that company, tell them its wrong.

And if you dont believe that its wrong, then fuck you, too.

You should know whats in the hot dogs you eat.
