“There’s a reason why most of us haven’t given him jobs. He’s so talented, so funny, but I don’t know what he’s really angry about.” Rel told TwoBeezTV. “The crazy thing is, maybe like five years ago he pulled me to the side and was like, ‘You going to be a star one day. Don’t let them burn you out.’ Gave me advice and said I was gon’ be a star. He probably don’t even remember that. … It’s just sad more than anything. Right now, it’s a lot of unity in the gang.

A month later, Rel reflects on the incident on an upcoming episode of TV One’s “Uncensored.” He also explains why he came to Haddish’s defense and shares his thoughts about the new class of comedians.
