Bill Bellamy's comedy career skyrocketed after he performed on the inaugural episode of "Def Comedy Jam," a groundbreaking show that featured an all-star lineup of Black comedic talent. Bellamy reminisces about sharing the stage with icons like Bernie Mac, Dave Chappelle, Damon Wayans, Jamie Foxx, and Chris Tucker. He fondly recalls standout moments, including Adele Givens’ memorable joke that had audiences in stitches and Martin Lawrence’s unparalleled hosting prowess.

However, despite his rising fame, Bellamy faced a humbling moment when he was denied entry to an exclusive Def Jam Christmas party in New York circa 1991. At a crucial point in his career, Bellamy and his entourage, including several models, were turned away at the door due to "capacity issues." Watching major stars like Mary J. Blige, L.L. Cool J, and Jay-Z breeze past him into the venue, Bellamy was left determined to never face such rejection again. This experience fueled his ambition and drive, pushing him to solidify his place in the entertainment industry.
