Netflix<\/a>\u00a0has removed\u00a0Dave Chappelle<\/a>\u2019s comedy sketch series \u201cChappelle\u2019s Show\u201d after the comedian requested them to do so.<\/p>\n

Chappelle revealed the news in a lengthy Instagram video called \u201cUnforgiven,\u201d which featured footage from a recent stand-up gig. During the performance, Chappelle claimed he \u201cnever got paid\u201d after leaving the ViacomCBS-owned show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (ViacomCBS) didn\u2019t have to pay me because I signed the contract,\u201d Chappelle said in the video. \u201cBut is that right? I found out that these people were streaming my work and they never had to ask me or they never have to tell me. Perfectly legal \u2018cause I signed the contract. But is that right? I didn\u2019t think so either. That\u2019s why I like working for Netflix. I like working for Netflix because when all those bad things happened to me, that company didn\u2019t even exist. And when I found out they were streaming \u2018Chappelle\u2019s Show,\u2019 I was furious. How could they not\u2013 how could they not know? 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netflix had no comment on the matter.<\/p>\n

Chappelle has made multiple specials with Netflix and currently calls the streamer his comedy home. Worries about the potential of losing the comedian likely played a part in Netflix\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cChappelle\u2019s Show\u201d is still available on several ViacomCBS brands, including its original home Comedy Central and CBS All Access, as well as HBO Max, where it was recently licensed. The series, which was created, executive produced and headlined by Chappelle, ran for three seasons between 2003 and 2006.<\/p>\n

The removal news comes around three weeks after the show started streaming on Netflix, and only a couple weeks after Chappelle called out both Netflix and HBO Max for streaming his show when\u00a0hosting the \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d episode<\/a>\u00a0right after the election.<\/p>\n

Chappelle pointed to the justice of the fact the services were streaming a show that bears his great-grandfather\u2019s name yet he didn\u2019t get paid for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he could see me now, he\u2019d probably be like, \u2018This n\u2014- got bought and sold more than I have,\u2019\u201d Chappelle said on \u201cSNL.\u201d<\/p>\n
