In sad news, it’s been announced that comedy icon Paul Mooney has died.
Full story below…
The 79-year-old, who was renowned for his work with Richard Pryor, suffered a heart attack at his home in Oakland, California.
EMTs rushed to the scene but were unable to revive him.
Mooney’s health is said to have also been affected by dementia, which he had been living with for several years.
Beyond his work with Pryor, the comic starred in movies such as 1978’s ‘The Buddy Holly Story’ and ‘Bamboozled.’ He also notably appeared on ‘The Chapelle Show.’
Paying tribute to Mooney, Dave Chapelle deemed him “the best to ever do it” and said “his legacy will live forever.”
Our thoughts are with his loved ones.
Sad news for the black community but I’m sure alot of people in the yt community is rejoicing. There isn’t enough Paul Moonies in the industry. Too many boot lickers now a days
Not only yt. He went in on many Black celebrities also. I still remember when he called Beyonce a galloping wild horse, lol
Ok his death is very heartbreaking for me. He’s one of the few in Hollyweird who spoke freely throughout his entire career without any concerns of being canceled. I’ve always admired him for giving zero f*cks. And Paul could read honey. He was doing this way before the Wendy’s & Cardi B’s.
R.I.P Paul Mooney.
💯
R.I.P.
It was reported that he molested Richard Pryor’s son…reported. But he was talented
I was wondering when someone would bring that up…that is the rumor butttt too bad RP’s son never came out and said it himself 🤷
PS PM’s twin sons is cute to be older men
Another great one lost. Rest in paradise Paul. The way he used to talk s*** i wouldnt be surprised if it was a set up. However, his work and legacy will live on.
No way he was almost 80 years old..no way
