R. Kelly has been on a press run that has certainly had its peculiar moments. Recently, he stopped by GQ and had an extensive interview where he touched on topics including his past relationship with Aaliyah and Bill Cosby‘s sexual assault allegations. One of the more interesting tidbits was his take on comedian Dave Chappelle, saying that he has never heard of him.
Chappelle famously spoofed the singer on his classic Chappelle’s Show with the slow jam video “I Want To Piss On You.”
GQ: Given that a lot of people believe that the video shows you, some of the behaviors on the video have become associated with you, particularly urination as part of sex. Pissing on people. You must have seen that Dave Chappelle skit.
Kelly: “No, I haven’t.”
GQ: He did several clips on his show.
Kelly: “David Chappelle? [as though trying to place the name] David Chappelle? I don’t…”
GQ: Chappelle’s Show. Very famous.
Kelly: “Okay…comedian?”
GQ: Really famous comedian.
Kelly: “Okay, a comedian. Okay…go on.”
GQ: And acting as you, he did a parody of “Ignition (Remix)” called “Piss on You.”
Kelly: “Mmmm.”
For how popular that video is, it is very hard to believe that R. Kelly has never heard of Dave Chappelle or the video in question. But if you’ve never seen it, check it out below.
