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.”

Look inside to see Lemon’s reaction:

On hand to sing Boyz II Men‘s ‘It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye,’ the GRAMMY-winner made headlines for breaking down at multiple junctures during the heartfelt showing.  But, while many have applauded the singer-songwriter (born Shaffer Smith) for his attempts to maintain his composure, others are criticizing the speech he rendered before launching into the song.

Prefacing his performance with a statement alluding to Floyd’s death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer as being a ‘sacrifice’ for a greater cause, the comments were met with fury.

So much so, Smith took to social media to clarify.
