Dave Chappelle Calls Out Diaspora Calling! Festival For Cutting Fugees Microphone Off During Performance

Dave Chappelle wasn't too happy when Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean’s microphones were abruptly cut off during a performance of the Fugees’ “Ready or Not” at the Diaspora Calling! Festival in the United Kingdom. Hill hosted the inaugural Diaspora Calling! Festival at the Milton Keynes National Bowl last week, with a stacked lineup featuring Erykah Badu, YG Marley, Giggs, and a headlining set from the Fugees, among others. Hosted by Dave Chappelle, the festival provided Hill and Jean an opportunity to celebrate 30 years of the Fugees’ beloved second studio album, The Score. But when the 11 pm curfew hit, the celebration was cut short, with Hill and Jean’s microphones getting cut off halfway through a performance of “Ready or Not.” Chappelle made it clear he wasn’t happy about the situation. “You’re fucking up history,” Chappelle could be heard in the clip, as seen below. “You turned off the mic on Martin Luther King, n***a? Let us close the show. Who can I talk to? It’s a moment! Man, y’all fucked up. I’ll never forget this… Tell ‘em, whoever's in charge. Let us close! Who’s in charge?!” Hill and Jean revisited a couple of tracks from The Score, and highlighted songs from across their respective solo catalogs. They also brought out several other performers during the set, including YG Marley and Zion Marley, as well as Erykah Badu.
