A former manager for Dave Chappelle says the comedian has failed to pay up on a settlement deal they made regarding several projects, including the comic's film "Dave Chappelle's Block Party."
According to TMZ.com, Mustafa Abuelhija settled a 2005 lawsuit with Chappelle after the former Comedy Central star gave him an abrupt pink slip. Terms of the deal called for Abuelhija to receive 10% of the profits from "Dave Chappelle's Block Party," 10% of the money Chappelle earned from seasons 2, 3 and 4 of "Chappelle's Show" and 10% of profits from the comedy special "For What It's Worth."
In a new lawsuit filed in New York, Abuelhija claims he has yet to see any money. He says Chappelle has earned close to $1.2 million since they signed the settlement, and he's entitled to his agreed-upon share.
