Dave Chappelle's real estate empire helped 'restore' Ohio, comedian says

Dave Chappelle is clapping back at the critics.

The controversial comedian gave context to why he owns millions of dollars in real estate in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in a recent feature in Bloomberg magazine.

Homeowners in Yellow Springs became concerned once Chappelle started buying large swaths of real estate in their small town.

“With the decline of Antioch College several years ago, Yellow Springs lost its cultural anchor,” Chappelle’s rep told the outlet on behalf of the comedian. “My interest has always been in restoring the cultural and creative economy Antioch helped to foster and which made Yellow Springs a haven for art, music, culture and academia.”
