*A king of comedy is throwing criticism at a comedy icon.
During an appearance on Sway in the Morning, D.L. Hughley voiced his thoughts on Bill Cosby as he labeled the embattled funnyman “a humanitarian, humanist, and a rapist.”
Although many people were taken aback by Cosby’s past (alleged) sexual escapades, Hughley admitted that he knew about rumors regarding Cosby years ago. In addition, Hughley shared a story of an encounter he had with Cosby on the radio that went south and never aired.
“In 2009, I was working for Kiss FM and he called in for an interview … He actively tried to get the show canceled; he hated the Def Jam stand up comedy,” Hughley shared. “He called in and about 10 minutes in was being a complete d*ck, so I said ‘Mr. Cosby what is it you want us to know?’ He said, ‘Who is this?’ I said, ‘DL Hugely’. He said, ‘You say the (N word) blah blah’. And I said, With all due respect Mr. Cosby when I say the N word no girl ends up with her underwear on backwards and drugged.’ Ten minutes later, the people from Kiss FM came down and took the tape and said ‘This will not air and if it does none of you will ever work in radio again.’ It didn’t air. So I know he has that power.”
As the interview progressed, Hughley touched on the time his own daughter was sexually violated. Despite knowing what happened and who committed the act, Hughley revealed his failure to do anything about what happened.
“My youngest daughter came to me and said something happened to her and I didn’t believe her because it was someone I liked,” he said. “I will never get that back that she told her father something and he didn’t do anything because it was inconvenient.”
