Chris Rock has joined the growing backlash against cancel culture, insisting it is “disrespecting” audiences — and responsible for a rise in “unfunny” entertainment.
The 56-year-old comedian told Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” Monday that the real fear of getting canceled has made people become “safe.”
“And when everyone gets safe and nobody tries anything, things get boring,” he told the New York station’s Angela Yee and DJ Envy.
“I see a lot of unfunny comedians, I see unfunny TV shows, I see unfunny awards shows, I see unfunny movies — because everybody’s scared to make a move,” he said.
