Dave Chappelle is making headlines for his new intimate Netflix special, ‘8:46.’

No stranger to controversy, the 46-year-old is sure to drum up more of just that once viewers get wind of some of the sensitive topics he’s covering including police brutality and the outrage that followed the death of unarmed Minneapolis Black man George Floyd.

One viewer he’s already offended apparently is CNN anchor Don Lemon – who has made his own fair share of headlines over the past few weeks for openly criticizing celebrities for ‘sitting in their mansions and doing nothing’ amid protests against racial injustice.

Yet, despite his solidarity with the movement, the 54-year-old ‘CNN Tonight’ host was a target of Chappelle’s criticism in ‘8:46.’

“I’m watching Don Lemon, that hotbed of reality. He says, where are all these celebrities? Why aren’t you all talking? Does it matter about celebrity? No. This is the streets talking for themselves. They don’t need me right now. I kept my mouth shut and I will still keep my mouth shut.”

A&E’s reported its hit reality crime series, ‘Live PD,’ is the latest of its ilk to hit the chopping block amid nationwide protests against police brutality.

After vowing to cease production to find better ways to tell the stories of the community and police officers, the network issued a statement to announce ousting the show from its roster.

“This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on Live P.D. Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them,” the statement reads. “And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil rights leaders as well as police departments.”

The move – particularly surprising given that it is A&E’s top-rated program and was just renewed for 166 more episodes after a successful four season run – was met with mixed reactions from the show’s creators and fans.

Once the assertion reached the masses, J’s Twitter mentions went through the roof with many defending Wayans’ solo career achievements.  After the merciless dragging, the 38-year-old called a “cease fire” by confirming the debate was parodic.
