Eddie Murphy Recalls His Anger Over David Spade’s ‘Racist’ Joke on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in the ’90s


Eddie Murphy said among the 'cheap shots' he's received over the years was a 'racist' joke that David Spade told on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live.'

In the Times interview, Murphy also recalled the press being “relentless on me, and a lot of it was racist stuff” in the 1980s. Murphy will next be seen in “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” set to stream worldwide on Netflix starting July 3. Asked why he wanted to return to the franchise, Murphy said he had been trying to develop another “Beverly Hills Cop” film since 1996; he said he thought the 1994 sequel didn’t “come out good.”
