A Drink Champs episode of Dave Chappelle and Black Thought has been canceled after the Hollywood Bowl attack.
“[The Hollywood Bowl incident] happened right before and so we were going to fast track that episode and then all parties involved were like it doesn’t feel right and we skipped that whole week,” said DJ EFN to HHDX. “And then we had other episodes already in the queue and so it got pushed. So we’re just hoping that it will come out sooner than later.”
Chappelle was attacked on stage during the event.
The 23-year-old aspiring rapper who attacked him was been hit with charges of battery, possession of a weapon with intent to assault, unauthorized access to the stage area during a performance and commission of an act that delays the event or interferes with the performer.
In an interview, he said he was triggered by some of his jokes.
“I identify as bisexual… and I wanted him to know what he said was triggering,” he told the New York Post. “I wanted him to know that next time, he should consider first running his material by people it could affect.”
