Dave Chappelle set to move to Ghana, inspired by Stevie Wonder

[Doobie Doo]

American stand-up comedian, actor and producer, Dave Chappelle has announced plans to move to West Africa, particularly Ghana. The comedian revealed that, he was inspired by the decision of multiple Grammy award winning musician, Stevie Wonder to move to Ghana permanently.

In an interview with Naomi Campbell, Dave said that, “You gotta think as a Black American who amongst us is more valued and respected than Stevie Wonder and the idea that he would feel this way at this stage in his life and career…I think that Stevie is the soul of American culture and if the soul leaves the body then this thing is dead. Then I thought I’ll follow him over there, or I’ll go myself. I’ll do it for him.”

Dave who happens to listen to the musician closely over the years revealed that, the recent decision taken by Stevie Wonder was a product of a long time plan he had; according to him, Stevie has since been talking about this move.
“Those in the room that knows Stevie personally he’s said this thing many times through the years that we’ve known him. But this last time he said it, what he said was ‘I am moving to Ghana so that I can be valued and respected more’, that’s almost exactly the phrase he used,” Dave told Campbell.

The comedian has already commenced plans to prepare the grounds for his relocation to Africa as he has started surveying places to help build a comedy hub in the West African country. “We have been working together, hopefully, I’ll build something there, but I am definitely going to at least rent something for the foreseeable future, and I hope to open a comedy club there because there’s none,” he said.

Award winning musician, Stevie Wonder blamed systemic racism and discrimination as one of his major reasons for taking the bold decision to move to Ghana; “I don’t want to see my children’s children’s children have to say, ‘Oh please like me. Please respect me, please know that I am important, please value me.’ What is that?” the musician told Oprah Winfrey in an interview.

Ghanaians don't get free land so that's a recipe for disaster. land is the most precious thing. don't expect to b given it. Palestine was not Englands to give to anyone and look at what it cost.

I think they should give Black immigrants preferential treatment and expedited access plus citizenship but not land. Africans don't get free land so that would set off a rift with the locals.

No one's expecting free land breh... I'm talking about dual citizenship / right of return that was all... if we want land we should be able to become citizens and pay fair market value for it... Ghana is a very big place israel stole that land but offer their citizens citizenship more or less easy... which is crazy...

no doubt. Israel is nuts and the thing that bothers me about them mufhukas is they tried to make the first new israel in east africa. they were ready to act like there wasn't people living there and just claim Kenya/Uganda as Israel. we would have bodied them and they knew it.

all the areas that white people are comfortable settling in in Africa are not malaria prone. in Africa they fear the sun the locals and malaria. they settled in Namibia, South Africa and the North because these are areas that are mainly outside the Malaria hot zones and tropical belt. that shyt is the reaper to white folks and lowkey one of the reasons they failed to transplant Africans. also why they work so hard for a malaria solution.

I can bet money another big reason is because Yellow Springs has pretty much become a big tourist spot now and isn't the quiet, small hippy town it used to be. Place only used to be packed on street festivals, now damn near every day you go there it's wild crowded. And you know many hope to run into Dave too, dude was prolly like I'm out brehs

Yep, used to low key be a black town too. My dad said like 40% at one point. But all the tourism has increased the property value and driven alot of the black folks out. My parents still live there and house has like tripled in value. But all my friends i grew up with over there basically live in Springfield and Xenia now. White folks buy up houses and turn them into airb&bs now.

I've always wondered why most celebrities, black in particular, choose to stay here or all huddle in or around NYC or LA. There's a whole world you can live in but they choose to be here. What that is saying, I don't know.
