JAY-Z Defends Dave Chappelle…Calls him “brave” over “Divisive Art”
Jay-Z was trying to walk a fine line while talking about Dave Chappelle’s new comedy special — but it’s clear which side of the debate he lands on … and that would be in DC’s camp.
The rapper spoke on the controversy surrounding “The Closer” Friday on a Twitter Space audio conversation — one that was being hosted by Netflix’s Strong Black Lead account, no less. Somebody asked him point-blank about what he thought, and Jay shared.
Check it out … Jay-Z says Dave is “super brave,” going on to say if you spend time with him, you’ll see he’s “brilliant.” Now, Jay does admit Dave pushed a lot of buttons — ones that apparently made HOV squirm, as he describes — but in the end, he considers it “true art.”
