This brother was authentic. He didn't live in his brother shadow. Not to be compared, but appreciated.

Trenton Brewton facts

[@MoneyOverFame]

That’s why he gets so much respect.

[@coolbreeze5916]

Hey man , I grew up on Eddie, but Charlie Murphy was a cool mofo r.i.p. Coolbreeze

[@KTF0]

Yeah, he legitimately was proud of his brother's success, then blew up in the Chappelle Show. Became his own successful comedian.

[@VegasRob1972]

He was a REAL man who spoke his mind and didn't care if you disliked his opinion. Still love that man! RIP my man!

I'm glad Charlie NEVER resented or was jealous of Eddie's fame.He made his own path and STILL loves his brother.As a big brother myself I can feel that.I always want my younger sibling to do better than me.

[@harvemedharvemed7796]

[@missayawk]

@@linnycrocus6023 Funny thing is Jermaine ( who can sing well)went solo before Michael,but he just never had that " IT" factor like Michael and also he got married young to Hazel Gordy which I think killed the fantasy with female fans.

[@Klgray7373]

[@princejordan5803]

For this dude to have a superstar brother in Eddie Murphy and still be able to carve out his own legacy in comedic history and be seen as one of the greats is incredible! RIP Charlie Murphy 😔

[@specialagentaustin4209]

...Indeed...

[@saveriosalemme5366]

Charlie Murphy was no clone of his brother and he could have taken the easy road on his brothers coattails but he was his own self which was hilarious. Rest In Peace Mr. Murphy, you made many people happy and we will be forever your fans.

@Sizzle Wrap who? Charlie murphy?? Are you fuckin stupid?

Yeah him or ya know, Dave Chappelle

[@KalelaChannel]

When celebrities pass away it usually doesn't affect me but when I heard the news that he died yesterday (I heard it a day late) it really ruined my day. Charlie always came across as a genuinely good guy.

[@Luke-ofStoke-Factor]

It ruined my day too, I was angry and disappointed in it. I couldn't and didn't want to believe he passed on

[@sunnythymes5444]

Kalela Yeah!! I was a big fan! He's one of these people that changed the chemistry in the room he entered.

[@jonesy2111]

I remember the first time I saw him on Chappelle's show and it was like this guy has such unique style and humor every bit as great as his brother

[@USSOBRIEN]

True. As soon as I saw him on the Chappelle Show I started laughing. When you saw him & that big smile, all you had to do was brace yourself for the funny lol

Hell yeah..last time I was this down about a celeb dying was Michael Jackson....Charlie Murphys probably hits hard because he was a part of our childhood through Chappelle

[@blazedandconfused477]

Yea that's it man. Was revisiting Chappelle's show after Dave released his new specials recently, so this hit pretty hard. No idea he was dealing with Leukemia. And to think I used to judge people for leaving memorial comments. Shame on me for that lol

[@blazedandconfused477]

Yea, I definetly respect them as comedy icons, but they never impacted me in the same way. At least I can empathize more now.

[@reylewis2538]

Ur right I never knew he had cancer the last time I seen him I thought he looked kinda sick but I brushed it off...so this just came out of nowhere and I definitely wont judge those memorial comments either after Charlie's death

[@curedfat]

@blazed and confused It took a great mans death for you to realize the truth (the truth being your realization). I hope you move forward in your life in a more positive way and i hope your realization can be impacted on others too.
