**Exclusive**

Dave Chappelle Found! Talks Exclusively with TIME Magazine in South Africa

"I figured, Let me just cut myself off from everybody, take a minute and pull a Flintstone-stop a speeding car by using my feet as the brakes. I am surprised at what I would do for $50 million. I am surprised at what people around me would do for me to have $50 million," Dave Chappelle tells TIME's Christopher John Farley in an exclusive interview.

CHAPPELLE tells TIME he's not in mental hospital or drug rehab, debunking earlier reports in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY and elsewhere.

The full story, as well as exclusive photos of Chappelle in South Africa, will appear on TIME.com Sunday morning and in the issue that hits newsstands Monday.

Naaa, I disagree. Chappelle is just the kind of guy to pull something like this. Maybe he had a meltdown?

Love his stuff, hope he doesn't stay out of the limelight for too long.

I read the article, and he sure seems to be on the level. It looks like a pressure thing plain and simple and like he's having a hard time deciding on what's right, what's funny, and where or how those two concepts overlap. I really hope he gets back to work on the third season, but only if he can do it and look at himself in the mirror every morning. I'm also glad to see that he's not shut up in a fucking mental institution.

I hope it's true and I hope he'll be back soon. But I still can't figure out how anyone making $50 million dollars at any point can claim to be too stressed out.
