Comedian Dave Chappelle was heckled this week while addressing pupils at his old school, with some audience members complaining about his controversial Netflix special.
Chappelle has been under fire this year over jokes about transgender people in his comedy special The Closer - but the comedian has always denied being anti-trans.
During The Closer, he made one comment stating that 'gender is a fact', leading to the trans community blasting the comedy special.
The controversial show caused Netflix staff to protest and mass outrage on social media against some of his jokes.

And now, it appears that pupils at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington DC - which he graduated from in 1991 - have also voiced their outrage at the show.
Stopping by his old school on Tuesday, Politico Playbook reports that during an address to some 580 students, one member of the audience questioned the comedian about his jokes.
The pupil reportedly said to Chappelle: 'I'm 16 and I think you're childish, you handled it like a child.'
The same student also reportedly described Chappelle as a 'bigot'.
And responding to that pupil, Chappelle said that 'with all due respect', he didn't believe that the pupil could make any of the daily decisions he himself has to make.

Chappelle also reportedly told one student 'N***** are killed every day', after the audience member yelled out that 'your comedy kills'.
The school had originally delayed his appearance from November 23 to April 22 over fears that students may stage a walk-out protest, before going back on this plan.
Chappelle's spokeswoman Carla Sims told Politico that 'They are complaining that he talked and said the n-word.
