Incase you are also wondering what happened to Dave Chappelle, here's a summary from multiple sources:
For two glorious seasons, Dave Chappelle delivered some of the best sketch comedy ever made on his landmark Comedy Central series Chappelle's Show. The show tackled everything from race relations to drug use with everything handled in Chappelle's signature comedic style. The show was a massive hit. It received outstanding ratings for Comedy Central to the point where the network offered the comedian $50 million to keep going on. At that point, the unthinkable happened: He walked away.
In an interview, Letterman broaches the subject of what precisely caused Chappelle to leave his show. They get to talking about how Chappelle was filming a certain sketch, and a crew member laughed at a beat that he thought wasn't really the point of the sketch. While there was racial humor in the sketch in question, the laughter seemed to stem from something not related to the satire. The crew member laughed at Chappelle rather than with him by the sound of it. As Chappelle puts it, "It just raised an interesting question to me, which I was already wrestling with in the first place."
It sounds like Chappelle was already grappling with a serious dilemma: Did his show satirize racial stereotypes or reinforce them?
He seems to have understood the immense power and respect the show gave him. At one point in the interview, Chappelle mentions that he was "bigger than [he] was comfortable with." Even if his intentions were good, the way it was coming across to audiences, including that one crew member, seemed to be getting lost in translation, and he rightfully wondered how he should proceed with his career. He goes on to qualify that the one incident wasn't the only reason he left the show, but it did play a part.
Letterman asks about the specific sketch in question and what it was about. Chappelle describes it as such: "The sketch wasn't that bad. It's actually funny. It was a pixie. It was me dressed in blackface who'd pop up anytime a person felt the pains of racism, which is a tough trick to pull off. It's not a bad sketch, but hearing the wrong laugh, while you're dressed that way, it makes you feel shame."
Thus, it wasn't about the 50 mil but was more about the mark he had upon his audience and since Hollywood is filled with mafias who hate to take a clear no in response, he basically walked off without saying anything!
That's that!

I have always loved Dave, I now have even more love and mad respect for Dave stepping up to make the needed changes!
@derivbot1345
Anybody brave enough to walk away from $50m has my respect for life.
@jackiedragonfly2461
He's an absolutely genious comedian. I'm not surprised he got an allergic reaction to the showbiz swamp - I just hope he gets to do his comedy now on better terms, and I hope he is happy in his life. I will always watch a show with Dave Chappelle.
@chiphichicrysalis2342
My heavens. I'm sitting here with big tears in my eyes listening to this. Even though it's a bit late. Im inspired by the things said and done by Dave. Touched by Mayas words.... I needed this. Despite all, I do have a responsibility to my God, my self and humanity
@tonyzone8999
Love this man! Dave is so inspiring
@krispy.ckrem9992

@carterivful

I know this is copied but thanks anyway
@Rhenadhis
Thank you, I watched his interview with Letterman but even then couldn't quite understand what the issue was and none of these YT videos seem to get to the bottom of it either.
