R. Kelly Confronted Dave Chappelle After Infamous Skit

RadioOnFire.com - When Dave Chappelle impersonated R. Kelly in a sketch on his show back in 2003, the embattled R&B singer wasn’t too happy about the homage.

When the comedian took the stage on Wednesday night at WeHo Improv in Los Angeles, he said that some of the musician’s “goons” threatened him after the “Piss on You” video aired on the Comedy Central program Chappelle’s Show, according to a video obtained by TMZ.

The parody in question is a reference to child pornography charges brought against R. Kelly. The central piece of evidence in the trial was an alleged videotape mailed to the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002. Prosecutors claimed it showed Kelly engaging in sexual acts, including the alleged urination, with a girl as young as 14. Kelly and the girl denied it was them depicted in the video. Kelly was not charged with assault, but rather with child pornography. After a month-long trial, in 2008, the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer was acquitted of all 14 charges.

“He said, ‘How are you gonna do the video of me peeing on [girls] like that?’ … and I said, ‘How you gonna do the video?’ ” Chappelle quipped, referencing the alleged tape from 2002.

Earlier this week, one of the co-creators of Chappelle’s Show, comedian Neal Brennan, told a similar story when he was a guest on the morning radio show The Breakfast Club.

“R. Kelly wanted to fight Dave,” Brennan said Tuesday. “He literally stepped — his goons stepped to Dave in Chicago — and Dave’s goons intervened, and the goons negotiated.”

The TV writer also addressed the backlash the show’s cast and crew received at the time. Critics claimed that “Piss on You” made light of child sexual abuse.
