'OJ Simpson was one of the nicest men I've met': Wild video of Dave Chappelle ... trends now
A video of Dave Chappelle recounting the four different times he met OJ Simpson has gone viral in the wake of the late NFL star and accused murderer's death.
On Wednesday, it was announced that OJ had passed away at age 76 in Nevada following a short battle with prostate cancer - almost three decades after he was famously acquitted for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Now, a resurfaced clip of comedian Dave, 50, discussing his run-ins with the controversial football player over the years has taken over the web.
Despite admitting that he believed OJ had killed Nicole, Dave still shockingly described the former athlete as 'one of the nicest' people he had ever met.

The star explained during a show at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles in 2017 that he had crossed paths with OJ on numerous occasions, and the first occurred in 1991, when he was just starting off as a comedian and OJ was at the height of his career.
'At the time I was 18, I had done a show in Santa Monica and the guy from the club came up and was like, "OJ Simpson's here and he said he wants to meet you,"" recalled Dave.
'I was like, "What? F**k yeah." I ran down the steps and OJ was there and he was like, "Hey man how are you? It's nice to meet you, you're doing really good work. I hope good things happen in your life."
'I said, "Thanks Mr. Juice." Standing beside him was his soon-to-be slain wife. That woman was very nice to me, she actually embraced me.
'She said, "I think you're adorable, good luck to you," and she hugged me and held me for a long time. I whispered in her ear, "B***h are you trying to get us both killed?" I'm just kidding I didn't say that.'
Dave went on to explained that the second time he met OJ was right after the sensational trial that completely captivated the nation.
While a jury found OJ not guilty for the killings, he was later found civilly liable and forced to pay out $33.5 million in damages to the victims' families.
'The second time I met OJ Simpson was right after the trial of the century, when OJ Simpson was the most famous or infamous face on planet earth' Dave continued.
