Netflix started airing the show on Nov. 1 but pulled it after Chappelle shared with the public that Comedy Central and ViacomCBS had licensed the show without any additional payments going to him. Chappelle was the creator, star and executive producer of the show.
In November, Chappelle also spoke about the situation during a standup set shared to Instagram. The set, which is titled “Unforgiven,” is 18 minutes long.
In the new video Chappelle thanked his fans for not watching the show. He said that he demanded the network pay him for his work and he has now been paid millions of dollars.
“I know where my power lies. I asked you to stop watching the show and thank God almighty for you, you did. You made that show worthless because without your eyes, it’s nothing,” Chappelle said. “And when you stopped watching it, they called me. And I got my name back and I got my license back and I got my show back and they paid me millions of dollars. Thank you very much.”
