Donnell Rawlings Goes BALLISTIC On Comedian Corey Holcomb For Saying That Dave Chappelle Isn't Funny And The Only Reason He's Successful Is Because He Blew Someone In The Bizz

Source - Donnell Rawlings lost it on fellow comic Corey Holcomb at a comedy club this weekend -- and it all seems to have stemmed from an insult the latter hurled at DR.

This wild scene unfolded Sunday night at the Laugh Factory here in Los Angeles -- where Donnell went up to do a set ... and Corey went on after him when we're told he started hurling wild claims and barbs at Donnell and Dave Chappelle's expense.

That argument is what you see here on video, obtained by TMZ, with Donnell going absolutely ballistic on Corey -- whom you can hear calling DR "mild" and a lame funny man.

BTW, this beef between Donnell, Corey and Dave runs pretty deep -- Corey recently did a podcast where he trashed DC ... and suggested he simply wasn't funny, let alone a legend.

First of all I have no idea who Corey Holcomb is. I guess he's a comedian who does a weekly YouTube live which actually does some pretty decent numbers? That said, he's still no where near the level of star that Donnell Rawlings or Dave Chappelle are. He also, for better or worse, knows how to drum up a controversy. 

Here's how the initial beef started...

Now, Donnell claims another inflammatory comment that Corey made played into how angry he got -- namely, Corey allegedly saying that anyone in comedy who has 3 movies or more under their belt has had to perform fellatio on someone in the biz.

The reason Donnell says he got as fired up -- in addition to feeling insulted and hearing his friends get insulted -- is because he has 3 movies, and he insists he's never done anything like that in his career.

If performing fellatio was all it took to get into the movies, I'd have been a star by the 10th grade. Regardless, it's a strange thing to say and something reads incredibly jealous. Things boiled over on Sunday at the Laugh Factory when Donnell showed up to club to confront him...

Part 2: 

So where does this leave us? Well, it leaves Donnell looking like a lunatic and Corey looking like an asshole because on the internet…context doesn't matter. People don't care about why things happened, all they care about is what's in the clip. And this clip is the culmination of years of beef between the two. Corey also went on a rant about how Chappelle's specials sucked and how he bombs on stage and isn't funny and blah blah blah. The entire thing is so preposterous I don't even want to link it. The man is a provocateur and unfortunately this time he got the best of Donnell. Donnell told TMZ that he wants to talk to Corey in a "calmer setting" but I doubt that'll happen." What's the point? It's not like Corey is going to change his mind. He's in the business of eliciting a reaction and that's exactly what he did. Gross.
