Eddie Murphy recalls David Spade's 1995 SNL joke about him that sparked their feud: 'I felt it was racist'

Eddie Murphy looked back on David Spade's infamous 1995 'Saturday Night Live' joke about him that sparked a longtime feud between them: 'I felt it was racist.'

Eddie Murphy is looking back on some of the “cheap shots” he's had to endure throughout his career, including one that sparked his longtime feud with David Spade. While he acknowledged that it was a “whole different world” as he rose to prominence as a comedian then, he admitted that it stung when Spade said "s-–- about my career" on Saturday Night Live a decade later. “Chris Rock told me, ‘Spade, Eddie’s got his biggest movie in 10 years, a beautiful wife, and he still can’t shake the fact that you took a swipe at him,’” he said at the time.
