Comedian Dave Chappelle won Best Comedy Album for a second year running at the Grammy Awards Sunday, prompting the transgender crowd to go into a meltdown on social media.
The award is Chappelle’s fifth overall, yet drew anger from fans of trans because his special “What’s in a Name,” taken from a portion of a speech he gave at Duke Ellington School of the Arts contained references to so called ‘transphobic’ jokes he has made in the past.
“The more you say I can’t say something, the more urgent it is for me to say it,” Chappelle noted in the speech, adding “It has nothing to do with what you are saying I can’t say. It has everything to do with my freedom of artistic expression.”
Dave Chappelle winning a Grammy for his comedy album is further evidence Hollywood doesn’t care much about transphobia.

It’s fucking unreal to me that transphobic dinosaur Dave Chappelle continues to win Grammys for his unfunny flop specials pic.twitter.com/ItS6lSqxka

When they gave Dave Chappelle his 4th (!? maybe third) Grammy for his transphobic special it was like… why is ANYONE watching these things? They’re literally trolling

I hope Dave Chappelle can take this Grammy win and find peace with himself and whichever trans woman broke his heart so many years ago.

Gervais won the Golden Globe. Chappelle wins the Grammy.
Anti-Trans “humour” is riding a wave this year. https://t.co/qJVsUeFiPs

Chappelle did not hold back in his latest special titled ‘The Dreamer’ during which he states “I love punching down.”
After stating that he won’t tell any more LGBTQ jokes, Chappelle explained he would turn his attention to “handicapped” people instead because “they’re not as organised as the gays.”
The special has been slated critics, who claim that he has ‘learned nothing’ from backlash he received for the last special ‘The Closer’.
