Comedian Dave Chappelle won Best Comedy Album for a second year running at the Grammy Awards Sunday, prompting the transgender crowd to go into a meltdown on social media.

The award is Chappelle’s fifth overall, yet drew anger from fans of trans because his special “What’s in a Name,” taken from a portion of a speech he gave at Duke Ellington School of the Arts  contained references to so called ‘transphobic’ jokes he has made in the past.

“The more you say I can’t say something, the more urgent it is for me to say it,” Chappelle noted in the speech, adding “It has nothing to do with what you are saying I can’t say. It has everything to do with my freedom of artistic expression.”

Chappelle did not hold back in his latest special titled ‘The Dreamer’ during which he states “I love punching down.”

After stating that he won’t tell any more LGBTQ jokes, Chappelle explained he would turn his attention to “handicapped” people instead because “they’re not as organised as the gays.”

The special has been slated critics, who claim that he has ‘learned nothing’ from backlash he received for the last special ‘The Closer’.
