Mo'Nique Calls D. L. Hughley A B*tch, D.L. Responds

by Daryl Nelson

Mo'Nique might've ended a long-running beef with filmmaker Lee Daniels, but she started a new one with D.L. Hughley.

Reportedly, Mo'Nique was upset over a contract dispute for a show in Detroit called The Comedy Explosion that Hughley also played. [Jump to the 4:46 mark].

"Mo'Nique is to be the last motherf**king person on the got d*mn stage. She is the headliner. That's what I signed the contract for," she told the audience.

Hughley shot back on Instagram and brought up many of Mo'Nique's past beefs.

"All you have to do is check the order of names on the ticket stub from last night and you’ll see who’s confused," he wrote on Instagram. "Against my better judgment, over the objections of my team and 4 other occasions where I said NO, I decided to take a chance and work with Monique ... Oprah was the problem, Tyler Perry was the problem, Charlamagne was the problem, Steve Harvey was the problem, Lee Daniels was the problem, Netflix was the problem… Now it’s MY turn. At some point it can’t be everyone else, IT’S YOU!! Lesson learned."

The Precious star responded to Hughley in the comments section of his post.

"STOP MESSING WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER MESSED WITH YOU & CONSIDERED YOU A COMRADE IN COMEDY," she shot back. "BUT I THANK YOU DL BECAUSE YOUR THE REASON WHY I FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE LIKE I DO. ANYTIME YOU OPENED FOR THE KINGS OF COMEDY, AND I WAS THE HEADLINER FOR THE QUEENS OF COMEDY & YOU THINK YOU SHOULD CLOSE THE SHOW OVER ME IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE BIAS THAT BLACK WOMEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN THIS BUSINESS."

Who's side are you on?
