Katt Williams Starts A Slew of Celebrity Beefs That Immediately Get Clap Backs
After decades of sold-out shows, movie deals and off-stage antics that would make Richard Pryor blush, one rule holds true when it comes to the world of comedy: Katt’s got claws.
Katt Williams has always prided himself on being untamed and unrestrained. He confronts hecklers with ferocity. He’ll start a fistfight with a mouthy seventh grade kid and lose. He’s been accused of numerous heinous abuses of women, including putting his female assistant in the hospital with a punch and imprisoning and torturing a young actress for hours — while baking cookies. Suffice it to say, the best-case scenario when a headline begins with the words “Katt Williams Attacks…” is exactly what occurred on yesterday’s episode of Shannon Sharpe’s weekly podcast Club Shay Shay wherein, over the course of two and a half hours, the unpredictable comic unleashed a tidal wave of insults, accusations and other provocations on the entire entertainment world.

During the conversation, Williams feverishly flamed Chris Tucker, Steve Harvey, Harvey Weinstein (fair), Michael Blackson, Cedric the Entertainer and Kevin Hart — and the last three have already launched their counterattacks.
The number of absolutely batshit insane quotes that can be pulled from the above video is simply unwieldy, so, very quickly, here are the highlights….
On Chris Tucker: “The Chris Tucker that we have now is Epstein Island Chris Tucker, not Smokey. … He Michael Jackson’s best friend. Michael Jackson called him Christmas. You ever met a man that gave you a nickname like that?”
On Steve Harvey: “You couldn’t be a movie star. There are 30,000 new scripts in Hollywood every year. Not one of them asked for a country-bumpkin Black dude that can’t talk good and look like Mr. Potato Head.”
On Harvey Weinstein: “They canceled me for talking about Harvey Weinstein before the thing came out. But he offered to suck my penis in front of all my people at my agency. What am I supposed to do? He did all of that.”
On Michael Blackson: “Most comedians don’t get booed enough. That’s how you end up with Michael Blackson, who is a real African, doing a fake African accent.”
On Cedric the Entertainer: “Cedric sitting here telling you why he ain’t a movie star. He over here looking like a walrus. … He can’t even get his arms off his stomach. Sitting over here: ‘Why I’m not a movie star?’ He never wrote anything! Remember, when Cedric the Entertainer starts, he’s supposed to be singing, dancing and telling jokes. That’s why he’s called ‘the Entertainer.’ We found out he can’t sing, can’t dance and doesn’t write jokes.”
Williams also repeated his past accusations that Cedric the Entertainer stole one of his jokes from 1998.
On Kevin Hart: “In 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of a sold-out Kevin Hart show, there being a line for him, ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club. He already had his deals when he got here. Have we heard of a comedian that came to L.A., and in his first year in L.A., he had his own sitcom on network television and had his own film called Soul Plane that he was leading? No. We’ve never heard of that before that person or since that person. What do you think a plant is?”
Williams also claimed that every movie part that Hart has ever played was offered to Williams first, who turned them down because of his integrity.
Additionally, in the comment section of the Club Shay Shay Instagram post about the episode, Cedric the Entertainer wrote, “Revisionist History, regardless of whatever Katts opinion My career can’t be reduced to One Joke Katt Williams claims as his. I been over 40 movies, my specials and brand speaks volumes for I am. The ppl I have put on including ‘Katt in the Hat.’”
If that wasn't enough, Williams also made a recent allegation against Jamie Foxx, claiming that the ailing actor whose deteriorating health has been the source of much gossip and speculation was in the Illuminati, claiming that, if he had the ability to buy access into the shadow organization as he claims Foxx has, the first thing Williams would do is steal the secret recipe to McDonald's French fries.
Of all the comedians whom Katt Williams has crossed in the last few days, his most formidable foe may just be The Clown.
