Comedian/radio host, D.L. Hughley, is never afraid to speak his mind about anything….as was the case during his prior interview with Vlad TV, where he revealed a heated argument he had with Bill Cosby in 2009. Their argument was over the rape rumors at that time, and it all went down while D.L. was a radio personality at Kiss-FM radio station.

Hughley: ‘Cosby Was Being A D**k!’

Hughley said that Cosby called in for a radio interview. However, because D.L. knew Cosby wasn’t fond of him because of his raw style of comedy, he asked his two co-hosts to pretty much do the talking, while he remained quiet. That was the plan, but all hell broke lose after D.L. says Cosby immediately started talking down to his co-hosts and being rude. So that’s when D.L. stepped in and this is what he says happened next.

D.L. Hughley: For five minutes straight [Bill Cosby] was being a dick. I was like, ‘Mr. Cosby what is you’d like for us to know?’ […] He said “D.L. Hughley! You say ‘nig*a’ and I don’t like your comedy!” And he went in, and I was like, ‘With all due respect Mr. Cosby, I say ‘nig*a’, but no co-worker (of D.L.’s) has never woke up with her drawers on backwards.’ […] I said ‘Everything you are, you are because of your experiences and I appreciate that. But you’re not gonna denigrate what I’ve been through.’

The ‘Threat’

D.L. then explained that the radio station, Kiss-FM, was owned by Emmis Communications and apparently, Cosby had major weight over there. Because of Cosby’s weight at the station, D.L. then said Cosby threatened him and made sure their pre-recorded interview never aired…ever.

D.L.: Bill Cosby was [like] “That tape will never air” … and I said, ‘The f*ck it ain’t!’ And 10 minutes later, ALL the people from Image Communications came down, took the tape and made sure nobody else in the room had copies of it; and said, “If this airs, nobody in this room will ever work again.” So I know that that cat had the power to make people do sh*t like that.

Hughley also said that although his altercation with Cosby happened in 2009 — well before Cosby’s 2018 sex assault scandals — “everybody knew it” around the L.A. comedy scene.

D.L.: I grew up in L.A., did warm-up for a lot of those shows, everybody knew it. … Like, ‘Cliff Huxtable’ is innocent, but Bill Cosby fu*ked every one of them girls.

Comedian/radio personality, D.L.Hughley, was a very good friend of Charlie Murphy’s. As he struggled to deal with the intense pain of Charlie’s shocking death in April 2017, he took a moment to share a few details about Charlie’s life and the extraordinary man he was – especially in his role as a father to his three children. *Scroll Down For Video*

D.L. Breaks Down How Charlie Dedicated His Life To His Kids After Wife’s Death

After Charlie’s wife, Tisha Taylor Murphy, passed away from cervical cancer in 2009, he became a single father to their children, Eva (23) and Xavier (15) (Charlie also has an adult son from a prior relationship).

On his social media pages, D.L. Hughley paid several tributes to his comedic friend, Charlie, soon after news spread that he’d passed away at 57 from a long bout with leukemia. In a few of his posts, he also explained what he witnessed Charlie do for his children, up until his last breathe. He recalled how Charlie was working until his last days on tours with him and other comics, and how Charlie had dedicated his entire being to his three children- two of whom sadly lost their mom in 2009:

D.L. Also Revealed How Charlie Had Him Fooled By The Severity Of His Illness

On his syndicated radio show, The DL Hughley Show, DL revealed how he was actually fooled by Charlie regarding the seriousness of his long battle with leukemia (a sentiment that many of Charlie’s friends and even some family members have now expressed). He explained how below:

“I lost a good friend of mine today Charlie Murphy. I will say that as sad as I am, I am glad to have gotten a chance to know him. … I think he was the best story teller I’ve ever heard, he was a great friend, I did a lot of gigs with him. […] After every gig we would all go to his room to watch him tell a story. I can’t pretend like I didn’t know he was sick…but the way that he would laugh and the way that he would carry himself, I thought that he would be alright. Charlie Murphy had such an indomitable way of…you believed what

Charlie Murphy Once Joked About Brother, Eddie Murphy’s Influence On His Kids

In a 2007 interview, Charlie also discussed his love for his kids and shared a great story about the values he and his wife were teaching the two youngest ones, at the time, about giving back. He also joked about his brother, Eddie’s financial influence on his kids:

Charlie Murphy: I’m a big softie when it comes to my kids, definitely. I enjoy the holidays and I enjoy it because to me the holidays is all about family, seeing them enjoying one another and having fun. I’ve got one daughter… and I have a son … Then I have another son ….”

“They know who the rich person is. They know who to go to for the big stuff. I’ll say no. I’ll be like, “What? Come on, man.” Oh, he’s gotten them all kinds of incredible stuff. What we do, my son whose [now nine] gets little toys way before Christmas. Like a month before Christmas, we take all his old stuff and we give it away because there’d be no room. He has to give everything, has to trade all new toys, we have to just throw it away. The ones we haven’t been playing with and then he gets new stuff. We don’t throw it away, we give it away.”

Charlie & His Wife – Gone, But Never Forgotten

The sad part is that in 2011, Charlie revealed in an interview, how his then 5 year old daughter was grief-stricken about the death of her mother, Tisha:

“My daughter’s five years old, man. She asks for her mother every day,” he revealed to Esquire.

The unwavering love Charlie showed his children will never be forgotten, nor mistaken by them…we’re pretty sure of that. They lost their hero on April 12, 2017, but they gained the beautiful energy of a beautiful soul that will still be by their side and in their hearts with them every step of the way. Rest on Tisha and Charlie Murphy, after a job well done.

The post DL Hughley Revealed What He Witnessed Charlie Murphy Did For His Kids Until His Dying Day appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

D.L. Hughley wears many hats, as we all know: he’s a comedian, actor, radio personality and a political commentator. He’s also know as a truth teller who’s loved by many and sometimes hated by some, who feel that his truth is a lil’ too much truth that they’d rather not look at. Despite his haters, Hughley’s mostly respected by millions, for being one of the few ‘mainstream’ celebs who boldly speaks his mind, regardless of if his views are highly favored or not.

He’s also known to speak his truths to the world, as it pertains to his personal life, which is exactly what he did in his prior interview on Angela Yee’s (of ‘The Breakfast Club’) ‘Lip Service’ radio show.

D.L. Tells All About Secret His Child’s Murder

Hughley painfully revealed that he had a secret child out of wedlock who was murdered toward the beginning of his marriage to his wife of nearly 34 years, LaDonna Hughley. He married LaDonna when he was just 22 years old.

Although he’d been taking care of his secret child, he bravely discussed how his younger self, at that time, didn’t really know how to handle the grief of losing his child, nor telling his wife *Scroll down for video*:

Hughley: “I had knocked this chick up, and she had the baby…and the baby got killed by her boyfriend. […] It was a horrible HORRIBLE experience. … So I had this baby I’m paying for, I’m a boy, I’m scared, I’m married, I’m just starting out my career and I get a call from my boy and he said, ‘Your son is in the hospital.’ So I go to the hospital and this boy was laying in the bed…apparently her boyfriend had shaken him and…hurt his brain.”

On How His Wife Reacted

D.L. went on to explain how he was afraid to tell his wife about his son, because he would have also had to confess that he’d not only cheated, but had a child behind her back. However, he eventually found the courage to man up to what he’d done. Mrs. Hughley’s reaction was something that deserves a round of applause for being a bigger person about the situation. See how she responded below…

Hughley: “So I knew that one day I would be man enough to one day tell my woman what had happened. So he passes, I’m SO f*^ked up…finally one day I tell my wife, you know what she said to me? ‘I wish you would’ve told me and we could’ve went through this together.'”

What Happened When D.L.’s Wife & Ex-Mistress Finally Met

In the Lip Service interview, D.L. also revealed that years later, his wife and the mother of his deceased son randomly met at the airport one day, when they both showed up to greet him upon his return. Hughley handled the situation gracefully, by introducing his wife to the woman, and his wife surprised him when she immediately said to the woman who had slept with her husband, “I’m so sorry for your loss.” D.L. confessed that made him feel “so small, because I was a coward in two ways.” You can see what else he revealed about this in his full interview below (he talks about this at the 28:19 mark)…

Moral of The Story

Moral of the story is, it takes a person of great character to be able to place their personal pain -as enormous as it may be- on the back burner, when the pain of the one who betrayed their trust is far greater than his/her own. Much respect to Mrs. Hughley for being a woman of incredible character and respect to D.L. for taking responsibility for his part and being transparent enough to share it publicly. May his beloved son forever rest in peace.

The post D.L.Hughley Tells What Wife Did When He Confessed That His Secret Love Child Was Sadly Killed appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

In his latest episode of D.L. Hughleys new self titled TV show on TVOne, he invited one of his daughters, Tyler Hughley, to discuss how the murder of Nipsey Hussle is affecting her generation. In addition to his daughter, D.L.’s fellow ‘king of comedy,’ Steve Harvey, was also there to chime in.

Their discussion about Nipsey’s influence and his transformation from the gang life, into a social activist led to some heartfelt points being made- not just about Nipsey, but also about Steve and others.

Tyler Hughley started with:

“Obviously, we were hardened by the news of Nipsey Hussle passing away… For millennials, I feel like this (Nipsey Hussle) is our Tupac. Like, we were all 5 and 6 when Tupac passed away and this ones hitting, I know ME for sure, because his album, ‘Victory Lap,’ got me THROUGH it last year. …This is a hard one. Between him and Mac Miller (who died in 2018 from a drug overdose), this is definitely a hard hitting thing.”

D.L. then mentioned the many greats that the older generations have lost, like Prince, David Bowie, Michael Jackson etc., to which his daughter responded with a valid point. She explained that the difference between deaths of old school icons, versus the millennial era celebs -though equally heartbreaking- is the world got to see the icons reach their full potential:

“But you guys have seen what they’ve done. … Mac Miller died at 26, Nipsey Hussle died at 33 and that was his first album, all the other albums before were mixtapes,” said Tyler.

She also stated that Nipsey’s entrepreneurial accomplishments with real estate and more:

“…Showed [millennials] what you COULD do. You saw this man came from NOTHING and build..and then give back to his community. Like, he literally was buying Crenshaw…he was buying the whole block…and you just took him away…from his family, from helping better his community…FOR WHAT?!! No beef is worth that at all. Someone getting shot in broad daylight in front of a community that they built?!!”

ILOSM family, you may need to get your tissues ready for this one, because what you’re about to witness is a beautiful, heart-wrenching moment between the late comic legend, Bernie Mac’s, family and his fellow Kings of Comedy co-stars.

We all remember when Bernie Mac, D.L. Hughley, Steve Harvey, and Cedric the Entertainer had us crackin’ up during their epic Original Kings of Comedy Tour, right? The years were 1999 and 2000 when they shook up the comedy game with their $38 million box office grossing tour.

Sadly, no one would have ever expected that just 8 years later -on August 18, 2008- that the world would lose Bernie Mac, after succumbing to pneumonia at age 50. Though he’d suffered from Sarcoidosis -a condition that causes inflammation of tissues- his passing wasn’t expected.

Fast forward to years later, and Bernie’s Kings of Comedy co-stars were brought to tears, as they also made Bernie’s beautiful wife and daughter cry tears of joy, with the surprise they’d gifted them.

Despite the mounting allegations against Kavanaugh, Trump is doin’ what Trump does to overlook all of his faults. However, the controversial president hasn’t been as understanding and considerate of Central Park Five.

If you haven’t heard of the Central Park Five, they’re a group of African-American males accused of raping a white female jogger. Although all of the men have been accused of committing similar crimes, apparently, Trump refuses to acknowledge that when it comes to Brett Kavanaugh. D.L. recently took to Twitter to offer his opinion on the situation.

Be Fair Or Be Nothin’:

D.L. Hughley has been on a roll lately when it comes to citing double standards in politics, race relations, and other areas of life. A couple weeks ago, he argued the double standards in sports, noting how Serena Williams’ was treated in comparison to the white male tennis stars who have had similar meltdowns during tournaments. Now, he’s turned his attention to Trump’s support of Brett Kavanaugh.

D.L. posted a tweet that included a quote from Trump where he talked about the “scary time for young men in America.” He complained about people being found guilty of crimes they didn’t commit. D.L. flipped the script and explained why Trump definitely wasn’t talking about black men. Since the justice system has rarely worked in favor of black suspects, D.L. believes Trump was alluding to men of his own hue. Sadly, there are many cases where black males are considered guilty until proven innocent, instead of innocent until proven guilty. But now that Brett Kavanaugh is in the hot seat, Trump has the ability to see the reality of the issue despite the mounting evidence against Kavanaugh.

#Trump: “it’s a very scary time for young men in America, when you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of.”

He clearly wasn’t talkin bout black men. We’ve been blamed for shit for 400 yrs. They may lose a job. We lose our lives. Nothin scarier than that. #TeamDl

— DL Hughley (@RealDLHughley) October 3, 2018

For those who didn’t happen to hear Trump’s full statement, he said, “Well, it’s a tough thing going on. If you can be an exemplary person for 35 years, and then somebody comes and they say you did this or that, and they give three witnesses, and the three witnesses—at this point—do not corroborate what she was saying. It’s a very scary situation where you’re guilty until proven innocent. My whole life … my whole life I’ve heard you’re innocent until proven guilty, but now you’re guilty until proven innocent. That is a very, very difficult standard,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent:

By now, we all know Trump has more than a few narcissistic tendencies, which is why he’s always spoken of the Central Park Five as if they were found guilty. The five men accused of 1989 rape have long been exonerated, but apparently, Trump didn’t get the memo.

He still speaks lowly of them, as if they are convicted felons. Despite the details of the case and the detailed confession from the true perpetrator, Matias Reyes, Trump still refuses to see the black males involved as innocent citizens who were wrongfully accused of a horrible crime they did not commit.

In fact, back in 2016, Trump called for the case to be reopened because he believed the five suspects should have faced the death penalty.

At the time, he said, “They admitted they were guilty… The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous.”

So with all of the evidence against Brett Kavanaugh, why isn’t Trump comin’ for him the same way he’s humiliated the Central Park 5? Well, we all know the reason why and like D.L. Hughley, many people see race as the key factor. Sadly in Trump’s America, race matters more than the truth, which is why D.L. is urging black people to stay woke.

D.L. and LaDonna are still going strong; a commendable feat given the famed comedian’s career. We’ve all heard about the pitfalls couples face when one or both are famous or live life in the public eye. Since so many marriages succumb to the dark side of fame, it’s always awesome to see the few couples that survive. D.L. and LaDonna are one of those beautiful couples. However, the King of Comedy star recently admitted he and his wife have also had their challenges over the years.

Making It Last:

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to catch an episode of Black Love, it’s probably captured your attention for a number of reasons. Not only is it great to see black love, but it’s also enlightening to hear about the many challenges some couples have faced over the years. You gotta know you don’t get to thirty years of marriage without a few obstacles along the way. During the upcoming episode of Black Love, D.L. opened up about marriage and relationships. He even revealed some of the problems he and his wife faced were due to his actions. D.L.

Raw Honesty:

D.L. recalled how he was raised explaining the level of accountability he knew he was supposed to assume as the man of the house. However, he admitted that for a while, he’d fallen short when it came to getting the job done.

“The way I grew up was, you had to take care of your family, you had beat the sun home and you had to make sure no bullsh*t came to your house. And I was only successful with one of those.” He continued, “When people talk to me about being married, I know that I love her and I know that I’m in love with her and I know that I’ve done things that aren’t worthy of that. And I don’t pretend as if they didn’t happen.”

Being brutally honest, D.L. also admitted the ways he’d mistreated his wife over the years. While he wasn’t physically abusive, he did admit that abuse isn’t always the result of physical violence. There are other ways to abuse and hurt the ones you love.

“I’ve cheated, I’ve been hard to deal with. I’ve said mean things, I’ve done mean things. I’ve never been physically abusive but I would say I’ve been emotionally and spiritually abusive, yes.”

Hughley: ‘Cosby Was Being A D**k!’

Hughley said that Cosby called in for a radio interview. However, because D.L. knew Cosby wasn’t fond of him because of his raw style of comedy, he asked his two co-hosts to pretty much do the talking, while he remained quiet. That was the plan, but all hell broke lose after D.L. says Cosby immediately started talking down to his co-hosts and being rude. So that’s when D.L. stepped in and this is what he says happened next:

D.L.:For 5 minutes straight he was being a dick, I was like, ‘Mr. Cosby what is to you’d like for us to know?’ […] He said “D.L. Hughley! You say nigger and I don’t like your comedy!” And he went in and I was like, ‘With all due respect Mr. Cosby, I say nigger, but no co-worker (of D.L.’s) has never woke up with her drawers on backwards.’ […] I said ‘Everything you are, you are because of your experiences and I appreciate that. But you’re not gonna denigrate what I’ve been through.

The Threat

D.L. then explained that the radio station, Kiss-FM, was owned by Emmis Communications and apparently, Cosby had major weight over there. Because of Cosby’s weight at the station, D.L. then said Cosby threatened him and made sure their pre-recorded interview never aired…ever.

D.L.: Bill Cosby was [like] ’That tape will never air’ … and I said ‘The f*ck it ain’t!’ And 10 minutes late ALL the people from Image Communications came down, took the tape and made sure nobody else in the room had copies of it; and said “If this airs, nobody in this room will ever work again.” So I know that that cat had the power to make people do sh*t like that.

Hughley also said that although his altercation with Cosby happened in 2009 -well before Cosby’s current sex assault scandal- “everybody knew it” around the L.A. comedy scene:

On his social media pages, D.L. paid several tributes to his comedic friend, after news spread that he’d passed away at 57 from a long bout with leukemia. In a few of his posts, he also explained what he witnessed Charlie do for his children up until his last breathe. He recalled how Charlie was working until his last days on tours with him and other comics, and how Charlie had dedicated his entire being to his three children- two of whom sadly lost their mom in 2009:

“I lost a good friend of mine today Charlie Murphy.
