On Friday, during a Twitter Space audio conversation hosted by Netflix’s Strong Black Lead account, Jay Z showed his support for Dave Chappelle.

When asked about his thoughts on the recent controversy regarding the comedian’s statements about the LGBTQ community, the mogul called Chappellesuper brave.”

“He’s super brave and super genius, you spend time with him, and he’s brilliant.”

Jay did admit that the “The Closer” comedian did push a lot of buttons, including one that apparently made him uneasy. However, in the end, Jigga considers it “true art.”

“I think he pushed a lot of buttons. I watched sometimes like “ugh.” But I think what happens with true art is it has to cause a conversation, and sometimes it’s going to be abrasive, sometimes it’s going to be off-putting to folks, but I think it opens up an opportunity to have a dialogue no matter what the issue is.”

The New York York rapper feels that we’re in a time where people can’t have discussions with others who disagree with them, TMZ reported.

Eventually, it was asked if Jay thinks the comedy special was divisive. Jay Z tried to dissociate Dave’s special with what he considers great art, describing it as oftentimes being divisive.

“I don’t want to answer for Dave Chappelle – so I’m not speaking specifically to his work – I think that great art is divisive. Some people like it, some people hate it. When you’re making great art you have to be fearless and create something that you believe in.”

While he tried to separate the two things, it’s clear that Jay Z thinks Dave’s show might fall into that “great art” category.
