We watched D.L Hughley and Mo’Nique sadly go at each other on social media, only for the whole thing to be a complete misunderstanding.
At least that’s how we see it!
This all started with Mo calling DL out during a comedy show she had on the 29th.
During the show, she called him a b****N***** for ‘attacking a black woman’ saying he was responsible for having her removed as the headliner for a Detroit show.
When the order of comedians came out it appeared as if DL would perform last which made MO very upset.
The comedians went back and forth on Instagram, Mo accusing DL of refusing to perform if she headlined the show.
DL shared receipts showing the flyer which had him listed first and a call sheet that had him listed last.
Mo then called him out for just posting the ‘Deal Memo’ and not the actual contract.
DL then shared a series of photos with the caption:
AFTER THIS… I don’t want hear NO MO’ ABOUT THIS,” D.L. captioned. “HERE IT IS IN BLACK & WHITE!! THE ONLY THING BLACKED OUT IS PERSONAL AND BANK INFO. PAY ATTENTION TO:
HEADLINER
HIGHEST PAID ARTIST ON SHOW
ARTIST TO HAVE APPROVAL OF LINEUP
LINEUP OF THE SHOW – DL HUGHLEY (CLOSING)
RECEIPTS > OPINIONS. I GOT EVERYTHING THAT WAS STATED IN MY CONTRACT… EVERYTHING. BUT LET’S SAY I DIDN’T, MY BEEF WOULDN’T BE WITH ANYONE BUT THE PROMOTER AND/OR MY TEAM AND I DAMN SURE WOULDN’T MAKE IT PERSONAL. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, TAKE IT UP WITH MANAGEMENT AND BY THAT I MEAN YOURS

Monique then followed up with receipts of her own, which included a performance deal dated March 28, 2022.
She also added emails for further proof.
In her caption she said:
@realdlhughley There were some of you who were fooled by the smoke and mirrors of D.L. posting his Deal Memo” versus his “Performance Agreement “. Here is my Performance Agreement and here are emails and texts confirming that as per usual I’m going to always keep it real and honest with my people. If you notice mine has signatures and D.L. does not. What type of iron clad agreement doesn’t have the signatures of the participants involved? Apparently D.L.’s. Lol!
Now, you told me to check with my management and this is what I came up with, so how’d did I do? Perhaps you should’ve taken your own advice, because I’m sure your team would have advised you against trying to pass a deal memo off as a contract. To those out there who thought a deal memo was the same as a performance agreement (especially some of the comedians) this is how we’re constantly taken advantage of by the business.
And, just so you know the promoter already told my team before the show that you didn’t have a signed agreement, that’s why I’m not surprised you’re using a deal memo. That said maybe they lied and you actually have a contract. If so the promoters have put themselves in a terrible position to have more legal action taken against them, beyond malicious concealment for breaking the contract at the last second. That said, D.L. we the people will be waiting for your signed agreement.
1. My contract- signed
2. Email with PDF of Run of Show
3. Run of Show
4. Additional email with ROS
5. What I walked into minutes after arriving at the theatre.
Can you say receipts? LOL
TO MY PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO FALL FOR THE OKIE DOKE AND EVEN THOSE THAT DO, I LOVE Y’ALL TO LIFE!!!!

DL decided to take a closer look at Mo’s receipts standing his ground that the promoters and management are to blame.

D.L further explains his position in a video:

Looks like a promoter problem, but let us know what you think!
No matter what the receipts say, Monique was wrong because her venom should have always been directed towards the promoter. Show order discrepancies are relatively common in entertainment and she had no idea what was in DL Hughley’s contract.

And they embarrassed by Will Smith…#DLHughley #Monique this is childish and did NOT need to be brought to social media. Monique problem is not with DL it’s with the promoter…but this just goes to show why many have issues with her. She just coming back on scene and this.. ♀️

Why do we attack ourselves with such venom? Monique and DL Hughley should team up and jointly sue the promoter for deceiving both of them. Much stronger United. Airtight together.

#Monique still isn’t addressing the fact that even IF the promoter lied & agreed to both her & DL contract.Her dispute is with the promoter.She NEVER had a contract with DL.DL agreement with the promoter to headline was fulfilled.Calling #DLHughley Oprah & Tyler coons was igna pic.twitter.com/vGH3AOZxbG
