Dave Chappelle Attacked Onstage
And it did not end well for his attacker.
During a performance last night at the Hollywood Bowl, DaveChappelle was tackled by a man. The attacker is said to have run backstage as the comedian’s security got in formation — backstage, he was stomped like grapes at a winery.
Dave Chappelle later returned to stage to joke about the incident, saying that he had to stomp the man. He also thanked Jamie Foxx and Busta Rhymes for making their feet useful. Former BET exec Stephen Hill is also seen onstage, and while its not clear if he took part in the stomping, his facial expression tells a story.
Chris Rock, who performed earlier in the evening, came onstage to ask if that was Will Smith.
The man who attacked Dave Chapelle has been identified as 23-year-old Isaiah Lee. He was rushed to the hospital looking like a pretzel and is now in police custody on a $30,000. According to the LAPD, he was armed with a replica gun equipped with an ejectable blade and has now been charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon.
Isaiah Lee is also a rapper. He has a song that appears to be named after the comedian, except it’s misspelt as “Dave Chappell.” We listened so you don’t have to. It’s trash.
His rap name is NONAME_TRAPPER.
