District of Columbia | May 20, 2021
Comedian Chris Rock says that cancel culture is disrespectful to audiences and is leading to “boring” entertainment across the board.
Rock made the remarks during an interview with “Breakfast Club” hosts Angela Yee and DJ Envy on Monday.
What are the details?
Rock told the hosts that he believes canceling an entertainer will only set the industry and its players up for failure.
“It’s weird when you’re a comedian because when your audience doesn’t laugh, we get the message. Like, you don’t have to cancel us.” he said. “They’re not laughing. Our feelings are hurt. When we do something and people aren’t laughing we get it. I don’t understand why people feel the need to go beyond that.”..
