Notorious comedian Dave Chappelle returned to U.S. to combat rumors about himself being in a mental facility in South Africa, after Comedy Central indefinitely suspended his skit comedy, Chappelle's Shows.

"I'm not crazy, I'm not smoking crack," Chappelle told Time magazine, "I'm definitely stressed out,". The comedian went to Africa for a "spiritual retreat", not to a mental institute, as it was reported by Entertainment Weekly.

"You hear so many voices jockeying for position in your mind that you want to make sure that you hear your own voice", he said. "So I figured, let me just cut myself off from everybody, take a minute and pull a Flintstone - stop a speeding car by using my bare feet as the brakes".

Comedy Central had signed a $50 million deal to keep "Chappelle's Show" for two more seasons. Dave Chapelle said that he wants to return to his show, but he doesn't know when.
