Lil Dicky has explained his plans for his own sitcom Davewhich aired its third season last year.
During his appearance on blatant The podcast, which went live on Wednesday (January 31), host Andrew Schultz asked Dickey (real name David Burd) about the show and if fans will get more episodes moving forward.
“The writer’s strike happened,” he began. “Then, I took some time off to finish some of the songs that were on the show and put the soundtrack album together, and I got back to really making music for the first time in about five years.
“I came into this music industry and it's really been five years since I've been able to actually focus on it for more than six weeks at a time. Currently, I spend every day making music and I'm very happy with the idea.
“The show kind of got this high,” he continued, raising his hand high in the air. “I don’t think my music career has reached the heights that my show has.”
Without explicitly stating that he will be quitting his show, the 35-year-old emphasized his current motivation to “maximize my potential as a music artist” while stating that he finally feels content with his FXX series.

During the same chat, Lil Dicky also made it clear that he doesn't believe Kanye West is actually anti-Semitic based on his own interactions with the Mongols. The Jewish rapper and actor said Ye seems to be stressing things out because he's contradictory, not because he's hateful.
“All I can say is my experience with Kanye West, which was in 2017,” he explained. “I ended up participating in his activity – he was playing basketball; I literally met him on the basketball court. By the way, the first time I met Kanye, in a full court three on three, and I'm guarding Kanye. This is the first time I meet him. Very interesting game. He can jump a little bit.”
The pair ended up playing twice a week for about a year, which turned into a friendship that included Ye previewing the Pennsylvania native's new music and even showing him clothes he was designing.
“He was nothing but nice to me the whole time,” he added. “Really she was one of the most beautiful. This is my hero. […] I owe a lot to his art that made me… My style was probably shaped by Kanye early on.
Although the two lost touch after the Yeezy boss changed his number and team, Dickey believes the polarizing artist still loves Jewish people.
“Obviously I see all the things, and I was surprised because I don't think deep down that Kanye hates Jewish people,” he said. “I know he knows I'm Jewish, and I know he loves me. I feel in my heart like he might have said something, and I'm sure it was the wrong thing.”

“I don't deny that he would often say the wrong thing. I think he might have said the wrong thing, people got angry. I think the thing he couldn't stand the most was when people told him what he could or couldn't say, and he tended to .
He continued: “And this is the reality. Now I don't think you should lean towards it. I'm not saying what he did was right. I think there has to be sensitivity towards the Jewish people. But that's really my theory. I'm not close to the situation.
I played basketball with him for a year, but let me tell you, he was the nicest guy. I watched him interact with a variety of different people and he was really nice.
