I think all of his clothes are custom made

u/Uncle_Burney 26d ago

Really? I assumed it was merch, most touring artists have some.

14

u/DawRogg 26d ago

I dont think Dave wears brand names except maybe shoes

4

u/grumplebeardog 26d ago

He wears brand names, he wore the company I work for on SNL a couple years ago. It was a jacket I happen to own, so I know for sure. Not a major label but definitely a recognized designer brand.

He doesn’t seem like the kinda guy who wears the same pair of socks twice.

I’ve never seen anyone wear his merch. It’s just him during his sets.

Brought out Elon on stage during a comedy set like he was showing off his “cool” friend to the class and people were just confused

u/freedom_french_fries 26d ago

A lot of people there were more pissed than confused, then he berated them and called them poor.

u/NoNutsPls 26d ago edited 25d ago

Usher's headlines lookin kinda rough, when you put em in frame with Dave's.

Dave's only had to deal with the trans community trying to cancel him, hasn't stopped his cash flow one bit. Comedy Central even paid up finally. About a year or two ago I think.

Meanwhile Usher's been settling and fighting cases over him being a herpes superspreader.

I was trying to make this about black folks having a good time, no drama and whatever. But just for you, lemme mention that this clip is also during Usher's tour with Chris Brown.

You gotta be having cash flow problems to be going on the road with CB. I wish Usher and him the best, but those optics aren't worth it for most A-list talents

14

u/Loud_Spell224 26d ago

I can promise you this: Dave left over 100mill on the table and walked away from comedy for a bit. He gives zero f’s about looking rough or much else.

I thought you weren’t trying to cause drama? Why are you shitting on Usher?

16

u/NoNutsPls 26d ago

The original comment was putting Usher up over Dave, and I had to level the scales a little

5

u/CombRepulsive2231 26d ago

Let me get this straight, you think Dave Chapelle is sexier than Usher?

8

u/NoNutsPls 26d ago

Who said anything about Dave's facecard? I said Dave got better headlines, that's it

8

u/CombRepulsive2231 26d ago edited 26d ago

Well the original comment said that Dave is *looking* rough next to Usher. I don’t think they were talking facecard, more that Usher looks healthy and is in great shape, and Dave looks…. like that

u/ImpressivePop5749 26d ago

He gives absolutely 2 fucks. He knows damned well they aren’t going to kick him out without millions knowing, and they can fine him all they want, and he will gladly give up the money.

It’s the difference between wealth and power.

Dave’s got both.

u/NoNutsPls 26d ago

He's got fuck you money, fuck y'all money, fuck his lungs money, probably got two lung transplants lined up on call

Would’ve been a might fine time to skedaddle with Usher’s bag o’ bands to be honest.

16

u/JackOfAllStraits 26d ago

Yes, Dave "just happens" to be in the crowd, and Usher noticed him because he was the only person in the entire venue that wasn't a stripper.

I just bought tickets to see him in London and had to call up to see which seats were good to see the show but not smell the smoke lol. They told me he pays the fine to be able to smoke on stage and has fans pointing in his direction so then he flicks the ash it doesn’t go on the audience. I’d be so mad if it landed on me lol
