‘Drink Champs’ Host DJ EFN Confirms Dave Chappelle Episode Will Be Out “Before July Is Over”

The episode was postponed after the Dave Chappelle Hollywood Bowl attack.

If you were anticipating Drink Champs to air the Dave Chappelle episode with Black Star already, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer.

In an interview with HipHopDX, co-host DJ EFN shares that the REVOLT podcast will postpone the episode until further notice after Chappelle was attacked at the Hollywood Bowl back in May.

“[The Hollywood Bowl incident] happened right before and so we were going to fast track that episode and then all parties involved were like it doesn’t feel right and we skipped that whole week,” EFN told the publication.

“And then we had other episodes already in the queue and so it got pushed. So we’re just hoping that it will come out sooner than later.”

EFN and his co-stars didn’t film in their normal location in Miami — they instead flew to Ohio where Chappelle lives to conduct the interview.

“Having Dave hosting us in his man cave that he has out there was wild,” he shared.

“He has this crazy shed that you go in and you wouldn’t even know it has a bar. It has a podcast set up, deep turntables, and he was just cool as hell. And him saying that he was a fan of Drink Champs, that just blew me away. So it was surreal.”

While there’s no official release date, EFN tells the outlet the episode should be out before July is over.
