Logic has seemingly stumbled on a new talent thanks to Dave Chappelle.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday (July 3), the DMV rapper gushed over a recent performance with the legendary comedian which saw him showcase his own funny side and go “back and forth” with Chappelle.
“Last night was one of the greatest nights of performing of my life!!” Logic wrote underneath a photo of him and Chappelle backstage in a green room.
“Me and Dave Chappelle shared the stage for hours doing stand up back and forth and then I did an hour set!! It was an incredible secret show for our families, friends and all my fans who came.”
He added: “Tonight I saw the future of how I perform on stage from here on out. Thank you @davechappelle and all his homies who I now consider family.”
Logic’s post also included a video of a friend recalling his own experience at the show, saying: “Bobby Boy performed with Dave Chappelle on stage at his club in his city that he owns, and we’ve been kicking it with the n-gga for 48-plus hours.
“You went fucking crazy, went back and forth with Dave Chappelle like fucking Venus and Serena on the tennis court… Doing stand-up, hitting them raps, going fucking insane, n-gga. I don’t even know what to say, fool. That shit was just tight as fuck.”
The performance wasn’t well received by all, though, with some fans criticizing Logic in the comments section for aligning himself with Dave Chappelle, who has faced backlash for his remarks about the LGBTQ community.
“Disappointed that you cape for someone who is so ruthless to trans people,” one person wrote, while another said: “The peace love and positivity dude hangs out with the dude whos known for just shitting on trans people breh.”
“I’ll always support you trying new things but as I know that you’ve looked up to this guy he’s just overall not a good person who I can support I hope you don’t continue working with him personally,” a third user added.
Logic previously namedropped Chappelle on “Everybody Dies,” which appeared on his 2018 album YSIV.
“Sippin’ scotch with Chappelle after the Grammys/ Said them countries wasn’t shit holes, they prolly wanna ban me/ ‘Cause I say the shit that others won’t, prolly can’t stand me,” he rapped.

Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter is reportedly set to compete in the country category at the 2025 Grammys, following major snubs from the likes of the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards.
The Hollywood Reporter announced that the album had been accepted into the category by the Recording Academy on Wednesday (October 2). While other nominees have yet to be revealed, she’s likely to go up against the likes of Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves and Moroney.
Cowboy Carter is also expected be nominated for album of the year.
This will be Beyoncé’s first time competing in a country category at the awards, as she was previously denied her 2017 submission for Lemonade‘s “Daddy Lessons” to be on the ballot for Best Country Song.
Cowboy Carter has been a major commercial success since its release in March. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 tally with 407,000 equivalent album units in its first week, making for the biggest sales week of 2024 at the time – though it has since been one-upped by Taylor Swift’s latest effort.
Twenty three of the album’s 27 songs also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, bringing the Houston native’s career total Billboard Hot 100 songs to 106. She is now just the 17th artist and only the third woman to score over 100 entries since the Hot 100 was launched in 1958.
But despite this, Beyoncé was snubbed completely at the 2024 Country Music Awards – receiving zero nominations.
She then came out empty handed at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards – despite receiving the second highest number of nominations this year.
Ahead of the event, which went down on September 26, Bey was up for a staggering 17 nominations for the album.
All winners at the People’s Country Music Awards — a self-proclaimed “award show for the people and by the people” — were decided by fan votes during a pretty tight voting period, which started on August 13 and ended August 23.
But despite the impressive amount of nods, she walked away 0 for 17. She was, however, mentioned by Cowboy Carter-featured artist Shaboozey during his acceptance speech, who thanked the superstar singer for “being amazing.”
