Danny Brown has addressed an encounter with Dave Chappelle that went awry after the rapper was accused of “lacing” marijuana that the pair smoked together.
During an interview with HipHopDX, the Detroit rhymer was asked about his dealings with the comedian, whom he says he hasn’t spoken to since the alleged incident. “I think he don’t like me no more,” he told the outlet. “I would love to [talk to him again] though. I just respect him so much, y’know, and it just taught me a lot. Made me respect stand-up comedy a lot more, I will say that.”
On the rapper’s latest studio album Quaranta, he briefly touched on the allegation that was initially levied against him back in 2020 via Big Sean’s “Story by Dave Chappelle” song on his Detroit 2 album. “Smoke with Dave Chappelle, the n**ga think I laced him/ Knew it was the pack/ He started talkin’ ’bout spaceships,” Brown raps on the song, titled “Dark Swords.”
Brown also gave insight into his own foray into comedy, which he says has been a challenge and one he plans to pursue moving forward. “I can just be funny and talk sh*t, but to actually write good jokes and sh*t, I still don’t get it,” he admitted.
“My favorite stand-up comedians was always the ones that, y’know, you could laugh at and they had jokes, but they always leave you with that little gem; it’s kind of like you’re learning something too.” He continued, adding, “I want to be that good, and that takes some time, but, y’know, with comedy, you can be 80 years old and still be on stage cracking jokes, so I still got time.”
Brown also expressed the experience of filming the first season of his VICE TV show Danny’s House. “I had all the say [in determining the show’s content] but I just was so nervous at the time, so I didn’t really take that much advantage of it,” Brown remembered about his eight-episode run. “They wanted me always to improv and go off-script, but I would always just stick [to my script] ’cause I was just so nervous doing it, man, y’know? It’s a different time, man; now, I’d be crazy.”
