Corey Holcomb has weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding Donnell Rawlings, who faced a wave of boos during a comedy roast battle. The incident unfolded when Rawlings, originally invited as a celebrity judge, attempted to commandeer the show, much to the dismay of both the audience and fellow comedians. Instead of allowing the scheduled performers to showcase their talent, Rawlings interrupted the event, prompting audience members to chant “Ashy Larry,” a reference to his character from “Chappelle’s Show.”

Holcomb, known for his candid and often controversial opinions, criticized Rawlings for his behavior at the event, emphasizing that it was disrespectful to both the comedians and the audience who had paid to see the show. This incident has reignited the longstanding tension between Holcomb and Rawlings, which began last year when Holcomb made comments about Dave Chappelle’s stand-up s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, labeling them as “mid.” Rawlings, a staunch supporter of Chappelle, took to social media to defend his friend following Chappelle’s latest Grammy win, further escalating the feud.

During his remarks, Holcomb expressed that Rawlings’s actions were indicative of someone trying to sabotage the performances rather than support them. He remarked on the importance of comedians respecting each other’s space and allowing them to perform without interference. This sentiment resonates with audiences who expect a certain decorum at such events.

As the fallout from the roast battle continues, fans and commentators alike are left to ponder the implications of Rawlings’s behavior and Holcomb’s critique. This incident serves as a reminder of the complexities of friendships and rivalries within the comedy community, ultimately raising questions about respect and professionalism on stage.
