Dave Chappelle went on a highly scrutinized pilgrimage to South Africa. Despite stating he went to gain perspective and focus on his life, the media constantly speculated it was due to mental illness, and even addiction issues. When he returned to the United States, Dave spoke out against the racial inequalities in the entertainment industry. He left LA to live in rural Yellow Springs Ohio with his wife and two children, but would occasionally resurface in small comedy clubs across the country.
