Shocking new allegations surface after Richard Pryor's former bodyguard claims the comedian inquired about putting a hit out on fellow comedian Paul Mooney after learning Mooney slept with his son Richard Jr...
In an interview with Comedy Hype Rashon Kahn claims Richard Pryor was planning to put a $1 million bounty on Paul Mooney's head after finding out he slept with his son. Kahn claims the only thing that saved Paul was Richard accidentally setting himself on fire during a crack binge.
Doing the math, at the time of the fire in 1980 Mooney was 39 and Richard Jr was 19. It's not clear if the incident happened at that time, but that's when Richard Sr. found out about it.
Rashon Kahn is currently promoting his tell all book," Everything Wasn't Funny."
