Charlamagne Tha God has reacted to Dave Chappelle’s viral joke claiming he “feels better” after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
As we previously shared, this weekend Chappelle performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He was there as part of his ‘Karmageddon’ Tour and New York Comedy Festival.
During one of his sets, he ended up making a joke about Charlie Kirk — the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) CEO who was shot and killed on September 10, 2025 during a rally at Utah Valley University in Orem. Chappelle admitted to the crowd:
“I feel f**ked up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered … and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but I feel better. I know I shouldn’t say that, but it’s just a feeling. I didn’t ask to feel this way. I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh!’”
This wasn’t the first Chappelle commented on Kirk. Subsequently, his widow, Erika Kirk, slammed Chappelle’s comments. While taking to her X account, she wrote:
“To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting. My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives. A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together. You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard. Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.”
On Monday morning (November 9), CThaGod and his ‘Breakfast Club’ co-hosts, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, and Loren LoRosa weighed in on Dave Chappelle’s latest Charlie Kirk comments. As LoRosa recapped the incident and played the audio, CThaGod slammed the comedian’s jokes. The host said:
“Yeah, I don’t find the humor in people getting clapped, okay? Any of us can be shot, and I don’t want anybody getting shot because somebody disagrees with their opinion. So, yeah, you have the freedom to, you know, joke and talk about whatever you want to joke and talk about. But personally, I don’t want to deal with the energy of that. Like, I don’t wish stuff like that on my worst enemy…. Is there more to the joke? ‘Cause I didn’t hear the joke. Like, where was the joke? … It just sounded like he made an observation — and at least from what that clip just played — that it was just like he felt better after Charlie Kirk got shot and killed.”
