Statement summary
On The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne tha God says he does not find humor in people being shot and does not want anyone shot over their opinions, while saying comedians have the freedom to joke about whatever they want.
“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.”

Why we used this label
The reference point is Dave Chappelle's November 7, 2026 remark at Madison Square Garden that he has felt better since Charlie Kirk was murdered. Charlamagne rejects the humor in the remark but affirms Chappelle's freedom to make it, which is a mixed position.
