Eddie Murphy hasn’t forgotten how David Spade treated him in the 1990s. The “Shrek” star told the New York Times that the two comedians had a falling out after Spade, 59, made a joke about Murphy on “Saturday Night Live” that Murphy felt was “racist.”


quote:

In 1995, Spade did a sketch called “Hollywood Minute” where he showed a picture of Murphy, whose horror movie “Vampire in Brooklyn” bombed at the box office, and said: “Look, children, it’s a falling star. Make a wish.”


quote:

Murphy added: “Most people that get off that show, they don’t go on and have these amazing careers. It was personal. It was like, ‘Yo, how could you do that?’ My career? Really? A joke about my career?’ So I thought that was a cheap shot. And it was kind of, I thought — I felt it was racist.”


Snowflake Eddie can’t take a joke

Was with him right up until he pulled the Race Card.

It's just the cheapest move these days for anyone who is whining. Make a real argument for your point or shut up.

Now if the dude drops an N Bomb then that's a different story. But you gotta go hard R on that one and make it count.

Shall we revisit Delirious and Raw to see Mr. Murphy’s take on Italians and homosexuals?

Calling Eddie Murphy “Shrek Star” hits so much harder than what Spade said, and what spade said is a solid joke.

There’s literally nothing racist about his comment.

Eddie hasn't been funny and Axl Rose hasn't been musically talented since they stopped doing drugs.

Nothing racist about that except if you consider by 2024 standards if a white person mentions a block person "RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

btw at the time of that sketch Murphy was an afterthought in Hollywood.

He should have gotten into music.... Oh wait....

Racist? Of course.

Did Eddie Murphy get mad at the Chevy Chase/Richard Pryor N word sketch?

Or at any of his own "white people" jokes from Raw or Delrious?

They're comedians. Eddie was ruthless to people over the years too.

Does Eddie really want to open up this can of worms? Stuff like this just shows how petty and small celebrities are. Eddie Murphy has a shite ton of money and has absolutely no reason to be a public figure ever again yet he chooses to do so anyways. Why? Why bother with this stupid statement?

Spade has said that they had made up. Apparently not.

Eddie is STILL fricking salty over that. And it wasn’t racist, Eddie.


Part of why Spade quit doing Hollywood Minute was that Eddie, the sisters from Heart, and others took a lot of that shite very personally.
