DY-NO-MITE!!! 8 Celebrities and the Roles That Typecast Them and Stunted Their Careers
Who knew another man’s story about his tumultuous but hilarious relationship with Rick James could typecast another man? But that’s what happened to Dave Chappelle in a way. After doing the iconic Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Stories skit dressed in a braided wig with a “Unity” ring and with the catchphrase, “I’m Rick James b***h,” people were hooked. Chappelle once commented on the show about the fact that he would try and take trips with his family only to have random fans–and Mickey Mouse–point at him and scream the phrase. His response? “Could you not call me a b***h around my kids, please?” Type Dave’s name into Google right now and guess whose name comes up first as an association and related search?
Rick James b***h.
