From February 2009:
"They were saying I smoke crack and using all this innuendo, and I thought a magazine as credible as Newsweek? I was very surprised that this was happening. And then I thought I had to make some real choices. Is that what I want for myself? Did I get TOO big? Because I like people. And I like entertaining. And the higher up I go, for some reason the less happy I am. You know, is it going to get to the point where I'm doing a strip tease on TRL or waving a gun on the street saying they're trying to kill me? No, I'm not going to let it get to that point. I'm going to go to Africa... I'm going to find a way to be myself man, I gotta you know... I'm an artist man, you know I don't need a Sneaker deal. There's only six studios, man. There's only six agencies, man. This is a small controlled thing and I don't... like having to beg for the spotlight, man. You know, the machine is good for us and we're good for the machine and it should be... it should be fair, man. Martin had a stroke, he almost died. And then after that, I saw him and I said oh my God Martin, are you okay? And he said, I got the best sleep I ever got in my life. That's how tough he is. And so the question is, what is happening in Hollywood? That a guy that tough... would be on the street waving a gun screaming 'they are trying to kill me'? What is going on? Why is Dave Chappelle going to Africa? Why is Mariah Carey taking a one hundred million dollar deal and taking her clothes off on TRL? A weak person cannot get to sit here and talk to you. There ain't no weak people talking to you. So what is happening in Hollywood? Nobody knows! The worst thing to call somebody is crazy, it's dismissive. I don't understand this person, so they're crazy. That's bullshit. These people are not crazy, they're strong people. Maybe their environment...... is a little sick."
They killed him. Dave 2.0 isn't funny. No soul. Too many notable differences in face, bone, voice, etc. His cousin has several lengthy rants online swearing by this.
Dave Chappelle was a decent and a hilarious dude. Turned down illuminati offer for his soul for $50 Mil and ran to Africa where no one knew him. Came back and tried to explain shit with oprah ( who he didn't know was cult member ). That was it. The pedo cult have taken so much good from the world they deserve the most horrific death ever.

Sry for jt link, this one often hard to find anywhere.
I don't think it's a body double. Likely just gave in.
No way. It doesn’t even look like him
Why would they go through the trouble of finding a body double that says to give Trump a chance only to walk it back after backlash? Why even bother?
Dude got older, people change. Not everything is a conspiracy, especially not Dave Chapelle. This isn't a crucial politician they needed, he's an entertainer who went to Africa to just leave the shit behind.
I have to agree with you re: not everything is a conspiracy. I was watching a rerun of Home Improvement (with Tim Allen) from WAY back in the day (1995), and who should have an appearance? A VERY young Dave Chappelle and Jim Brewer (both of Half Baked). He was skinny just like most young men are, and he was still pretty young in his mid 20s and early 30s doing the Chappelle's Show from 2006 - about 2010(ish). Men naturally fill out and gain mass to their bodies - nobody looks the same in their 40s and 50s as they did in their 20s and 30s, that's just time taking its toll as it does with all of us. He's no different. We're a full 10 years out from when he stopped doing Chapelle's Show. Not to mention, he's married, he's living in a rural area of Ohio now, dude's packed on a few pounds.
Well, check out the video posted above. That describes the differences pretty well. Dave Chapelle was a runner, for example. Lean muscle was what he liked to keep. He would say he doesn’t want to build bulky muscle like the fake Chapelle has built today. The last thing Chapelles cousin heard from Dave was that he was walking in to meet with the folks who he was running from. He said that the industry agreed to his terms and all he had to do was come in and sign paperwork and hed have a TV show again and nothing to fear. Yeah his cousin never heard from Dave or Daves immediate family ever again. He says “the guy they are propping up right now is definitely not Dave. It doesn’t look like him, its eyes are different.” The cousin says he never heard from Dave again.
And if you need look for a reason, the cabal has been known to keep dead Hollywood stars alive via doubles and holograms for ages in order to keep the brand alive. They make money off of celebrities and they won’t let a big cash cow die if they can help it. I would argue that the white hats are in control now and its possible they've been using the body double to red pill or alternatively the deep State is using the double for the folks like me who believe he's dead to try and convince us that “no, see? Dave is right here and he's even red pilled! Now be a good little Goy and look over HERE at what he is saying and don’t look over THERE.” Pretty sure new Dave hasn’t been overtly outspoken about too much except lightly stepping into hot topics. Another thing to note was the original Dave and his wife / kids were all practicing Muslims
You are right about the not funny anymore.
That reminds me, a few days ago someone here inspired me to watch Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956. I'm glad I did.
Edit: It's a phenomenon noted since then, at least, even if the script's reason for why it's happens differs.
I knew something was wrong immediately when I saw the promo for his first Netflix special.

First it opens with "This, is Dave." and then zooms out to show him wearing a "dress." Yeah it's just a really long shirt, whatever, but it is symbolic reference to when he spoke out on Oprah.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you say anything, you risk everything."
I dont understand what the long shirt is symbolic for.
It looks like a dress. On Oprah he told the story about how he was intensely pressured to wear a dress for a bit, and how he'd noticed a strange pattern of black men being put in dresses for "comedy" bits.
Almost every time I bring this up, someone tries to tell me "it's just a long shirt" but NEVER IN MY LIFE have I seen a man wearing a form-fitting shirt that is long enough to go past their crotch. It's a fucking dress.
When I first saw that trailer, I thought the shirt was ridiculously long too.
Like they just dont "wing it" in productions like this. They looked at Dave with a long ass shirt and said "Looks good" then let him go on camera.
I've been following Chappelle closely from the jump, and I firmly disagree. I cant really articulate an argument to dissuade you from your opinion, but tldr Dave haa simply travelled the path to Conspiracy Theorist like most of us - but his viewpoint on the matter is highly informed by oldschool Black Radicalism (those who fought this fight during the era when they still allowed a white middle class to exist) and 2nd wave conscious hip-hop. Lets jist say they learned how to neuter conscious hip-hop in the interim between Brand Nubian and the 5%ers and the rising of the Black Star / GOOD Music era. Dave has his shortcomings and I believe they mostly tie into residual indoctrination from the 2nd Wave BS he hasnt shaken off yet. Its a brilliant undermining of the original Black Radical messages by the DS, thats for sure.
As far as being "not funny" - I think he's in Pryor / Carlin territory at this point. A lot of people didn't think they were funnt either. He's basically "Prince performing with Slave written on his face" now. I guess there really isn't anything "traditionally funny" about that...
To quote him (if only text could convey expressed vitriol) "Thank You, Comedy Central... it's been a PLEASURE".
