The weathers breaking and where am I inside working on today's story. I thought to my self I have not heard anything about Dave Chappelle in a while. And then I came across a website called BlackNews.com where low and behold there was his picture dressed as Prince from his skit with Charley Murphy.
It appears that Dave's former manager is trying to get what he feels he is owed. In 2005 Dave's former manager Mustafa Abuelhijia settled a lawsuit with Chappelle after he was fired.
The settlement said that Abuelhijia was to receive 10% of the profits from 'Dave Chappelle's Block Party', 10% of the money that Chappelle got from seasons 2, 3, and 4 of the Chappelle Show' and 10% of the money he received for the comedy special
'For What It's Worth.
So far, Abuelhijia claims he has not received anything from Chappelle. In a new development the former manager has filed a new lawsuit in New York claiming that Chappelle has taken in close to 1.2 million since they signed the settlement and he feels he is entitled to 10% of it.
I think that the former manager is entitled to the 2005 settlement money but he has no claim to the recent money that Chappelle has made.
