According to Entertainment Weekly magazine, Dave Chapelle admitted himself to a mental facility in South Africa. However, as it turns out, it's not true. He's not in a mental facility, he's not in drug rehab, he doesn't even have a drug problem.

His reason for flying to South Africa was actually simple - he needed some time off. But he didn't tell anyone where he was going, so even his agent didn't know where he was.

Chapelle is not happy with where his show is going, this was one reason for his *runaway*. However, he does hope to get his show running again soon. But he doesn't know or doesn't say when.

The new season for Chapelle's show was initially scheduled to launch May 31.
