Chappelle’s Show has been pulled from Netflix just a few weeks after its launch.
The streaming service removed Chappelle’s Show from its library after Dave Chappelle publicly complained that he wasn’t receiving any royalties for the deal, according to reports from Deadline. In a video the comedian posted to his Instagram, he speaks against CBSViacom for selling the rights to stream the series to Netflix without him seeing any portion of the profits.
“These contracts are crazy,” Dave says in the clip. “You should hear the terminology they say in these contracts, ‘to use your name and likeness in perpetuity throughout the universe.’ Who the f**k could possibly know what that means?”
“It’s so complicated, in fact, that when you’re a kid like me, you have to hire somebody to tell you what that means, and you sit down and the table, and you do the contract game. And that’s how I got with Comedy Central. I signed a contract, but I signed a contract the way that a 28-year-old expectant father that was broke signs a contract.”
Seemingly due to the content in the 18-minute clip, Netflix told Deadline they honored Chapelle’s request. As of now, the series is still available on CBS All Access and Comedy Central’s streaming platform.

Chris Brown Strikes Back: A $500M Legal Battle Against Warner Bros Over Controversial Docuseries
Chris Brown is making headlines with a massive $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and a production company called Ample Entertainment. He says their new docuseries, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” is filled with exaggerations about him. This lawsuit, filed on January 21, places Brown at the center of a hot debate about how the media tells stories about public figures.
The docuseries focuses on his troubled past, featuring controversial moments that have shaped how the public views him. However, Brown’s team claims that it goes beyond just telling facts. They argue that it uses misleading claims that hurt his reputation. His legal team feels that the series paints him negatively, ignoring how he has grown since past incidents.
Throughout his career, he has been a celebrated musician, dancer, and figure surrounded by controversy. As of now, Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have not responded to the lawsuit. However, this case raises important questions about what filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when telling stories about real people. For Brown, this lawsuit is not just about seeking money; it’s about taking control of how his life story is shared.
He feels frustrated with an entertainment industry that, focuses more on drama than the truth. Reactions to his lawsuit have been mixed. Some supporters argue that the media often emphasizes Brown’s wrongdoings while ignoring his creative contributions. Critics, however, see the lawsuit as an effort to avoid facing honest criticism. As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that Chris Brown is not just after $500 million; he’s also fighting for how his life story is perceived. Whether he will win this battle remains uncertain, but it is already creating discussions about the influence of the media.
