You must have heard of the ‘Chappelle Show’ or perhaps you have seen it. If you have, you will understand why the show is one of the groundbreaking and greatest sketch comedy shows.
Dave Chappelle, the anchor of the show is one of the best comedians you will ever see and he proves it even on this show. He does not shy away from sensitive topics but he delivers the jokes in a unique way. The audience is always captivated by his punchlines.
Dave Chappelle took a break from stand-up comedy for over a decade, but he later returned and worked his way back to the top. Dave’s wife and their beautiful children have been with him all through his career.
His wife’s name is Elaine Chappelle. The couple has three children, one daughter, and two sons. This article focuses on Ibrahim Chappelle, Dave’s youngest son. Find out more about him as we dive in deeper.
Ibrahim Chappelle is the Youngest Son of Dave and Elaine Chappelle
Dave mentioned in Jimmy Kimmel’s show in 2017 that Ibrahim Chappelle, his youngest son was 14 years old at that time. So we assume that Ibrahim was born in Yellow Spring, Ohio, in the United States of America in 2003.
Dave Chappelle, Ibrahim’s father is a producer, writer, actor, and comedian while Elaine Chappelle, Ibrahim’s mother is a housewife. Ibrahim’s parents have different backgrounds. His mother is a devout Christian and Filipino while his father, Dave is an African American and a Muslim who got converted to Islam in 1998.
Ibrahim Chappelle has a younger sister named Sonal Sanaa Chappelle and an older brother named Sulayman Chappelle. Their names are probably related to the fact that their father is a Muslim.
David Chappelle gets so much media attention, but it is quite surprising that Dave and his wife have still managed to keep their children away from unwanted publicity.
Elaine Chappelle does not like media publicity so it is quite easy for her to shield their children from the same. One will hardly find any information or posts about the children on social media. Thus, it is hard to get info on the family.
What we know is that the couple lives in a privately owned farmhouse close to Yellow Spring in Ohio where they are raising their kids.
By now, Ibrahim Chappelle ought to be in high school. Dave gave a hint on his sons’ schooling in a comedy sketch where he said that Sulayman attends a public school while Ibrahim attends a private school.
Dave went to explain that his reason for that decision is to see how Sulayman copes and that it is an experiment.
Ibrahim Chappelle is a Big Fan of Kevin Hart
In one of his comedy shows, Dave described how his son, Ibrahim was slapping his knee and laughing at a Kevin Hart show.
Dave further revealed in the ‘Age of Spin’ (one of his Netflix exclusive) that Ibrahim once requested two hundred and fifty dollars from him so that he can go with him to Kevin Hart’s show.
According to Dave, Ibrahim was only twelve years old at that time so he freaked out as to why the boy would need such a huge amount of money. Then the boy explained that he needs it for the Kevin Hart show.
Dave used the opportunity to take Ibrahim to meet Kevin Hart at backstage when the boy persisted on meeting his idol. Dave himself confessed that he was quite scared to knock on Kevin’s dressing room door despite having known him for years.
Dave further went on to state that Kevin Hart later invited him and his son for dinner and his son accepted hilariously by saying he and his dad have not eaten in several hours.
Ibrahim was lucky to receive a custom hand-stitched jersey from a generous Kevin. K Hart was boldly printed on the jersey.
How Ibrahim’s Parents Dave Chappelle and Elaine Chappelle Met
Things were not rosy at first when the couple met. They did not get along immediately after meeting each other. Elaine thought that Dave, Ibrahim’s father was not her type because she did not like loud people.
It later turned out that Dave’s loud personality was because he was usually shy towards the woman he loved. In the long run, Elaine and Dave began dating and Dave proposed soon after. The couple married in 2001.
Dave is always proud of his wife and he considers her his best support system. Elaine stood beside him even when he stopped performing and took a long break from his career. She supported all his decisions.
After over nineteen years of marriage, Dave and Elaine have continued to keep strong and they have a great family life.
