I swear Chappelle once claimed in an interview (circa 2005?) he quit Hollywood/moved to Africa in order to hide because the Illuminati/TPTB were "after him"He also chimped out and left his own massively popular show to flee to Africa for… reasons??? Then he realized that being a recluse in Africa won’t pay any bills and according to some reports he accrued massive amounts of debt by that point. He then came back and tried to do a redemption run on his career to varying degrees of success. But he will always be known as the dude that threw away millions of dollars and any good will with his fans because he had a tantrum and went full ape mode without any good reason or explanation.

Edit:
Via the powers of advanced Googling, I found an article referencing Chapelle allegedly being "threatened" by the Illuminati:

TLDR: allegedly (according to a rumor first started on an unnamed radio station) Chapelle ran away to hide in South Africa because Oprah, Tyler Perry, and Al Sharpton (aka the "Dark Crusaders"/Black Illuminati) threatened him/his family because *checks notes* his comedy made Black Americans look "bad".
Wow, what an interesting snapshot of early 2000's internet conspiracy theories.
