Dave Chappelle’s Lil Nas X Joke

Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix comedy special debuted on Sunday (Dec. 31). In the new stand-up, Dave tells a story about meeting Lil Nas X at a party.

“I know a dreamer when I see one, and I met many powerful dreamers in my life, none more powerful than the man who calls himself Lil Nas X,” Chappelle began. “I met this n***a at a party. I had no idea who he was. The minute he walked in that party I knew I was in his dream. Everybody in the party was another dreamer. Everyone was famous, but when that n***a walked in he was dressed like C3PO, he was shining!”

He continued, “Everybody was like, ‘Oh my God, there he is! It’s Lil Nas X, ah!’ I didn’t know who he was, and for some reason out of all those dreamers he walked right up to me and he said, ‘I tried to get you in my video.’ I didn’t know what the f**k he was talking about. I said, ‘What? What video?’ And he just looked at me like, ‘You know what video,’ and walked away. And I watched him walk away. I said, ‘Man this n***a is having a very powerful dream.'”

Dave later referenced Lil Nas X, joking that the rapper told his teacher he wanted to be the “gayest n***a that ever lived” when he grew up and brought up the “Montero” storyline.
