In February 2023, Dilbert was dropped by many newspapers and its distributor, Andrews McMeel Syndication, after Adams called black Americans that disagreed with "It's okay to be white" a "hate group" and said white Americans should "get the hell away from" them.[2][3]
In May 2025, Adams revealed that he has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.[4][5] On January 12, 2026, it was announced that Adams was entering into hospice care.[6] He died the next day in Pleasanton, California at the age of 68.[7][8]
