Katt Williams has been out here cuttin’ UP in these social media streets. In a recent interview on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Katt Williams, was droppin’ shade on a plethora of comics and other celebs he disapproves of, including Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey, Rickey Smiley, and more.

On Wednesday, January 3, 2024, Williams let Sharpe know that he had an issue with the untruths that “low-brow comedians” had previously spoken about him on Sharpe’s show, and he referred to Cedric, Harvey, and Smiley as a “group.” He noted that the trio had been together for three decades, and each of them knew the others’ secrets. “It’s the age of truth,” he said, “and these guys aren’t just three strangers.”

Katt Slammed Cedric The Entertainer For ‘Stealing’ His Joke

Katt Williams stated that his best joke from 1998, which he was performing on “ComicView,” was then stolen by Cedric the Entertainer, who watched him in the audience and then came backstage to compliment him on it. Two years later, Cedric employed the same joke as his closing one on “The (Original) Kings Of Comedy,” without any alterations, according to Katt.

At first, Katt says he overlooked Cedric’s joke as an imitation, but reconsidered that notion after Cedric denied it was taken from Katt’s work:

“He thought I was a minor comedian and that he could use the joke and not get caught,” Katt Williams argued.

Cedric the Entertainer Responds

In the comments section of an Instagram post that featured a clip from the “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Cedric the Entertainer commented on the allegation from Williams, labeling it “revisionist history.”

Ced’  said  that Katt’s view was irrelevant, because Cedric has now starred in more than 40 movies, put on specials, and had his own brand. He also made reference to “Katt in the Hat”, which was held at the Gibson Amphitheater.

Katt Williams Shuts Down Rickey Smiley’s Claim That He Was Supposed To Have His Role In “Friday After Next”

In 2002, Williams and Smiley were part of the cast of the third installment of Ice Cube’s “Friday” series, “Friday After Next.” Williams was cast as “Money Mike,” and Smiley was cast as “Santa Claus.” In a prior interview, Smiley had told Sharpe that he had initially been assigned the role of “Money Mike.”

Williams has now come back to shut that claim down with the quickness:

“This man told you he had Katt Williams’ role. He was going to be Money Mike, and Katt Williams was going to be the Santa Claus,” Katt said to Shannon Sharpe. “We auditioned in Los Angeles. I was audition No. 201. Two-hundred Black comedians auditioned for the role of Money Mike with me. You’re saying all 201 of us was auditioning, and you had already had the role and had already shot the role in four days?”

Katt then declared that he later had a contractual term included which mandated that he would only collaborate with Smiley if he was clothed in a dress for his parts, due to what occurred on “Friday After Next”. When asked why he included that contractual term in Rickey’s contracts, Katt claimed that actors, like Rickey Smiley and Tyler Perry, both excel at playing female characters, but they are not convincing as men.

A few years later, Smiley and Williams starred together in the release of “First Sunday” in 2008. Katt declared that Rickey Smiley’s next movie was ‘First Sunday” Rickey was wearing a dress, which Katt claims was required by his contract.

Rickey Smiley Responds

Rickey Smiley responded to Katt on Thursday morning during his “Rickey Smiley Morning Show, pretty much saying that Katt needs to get his facts all the way together. Check out those clips below…

Katt Williams Slammed Steve Harvey For ‘Copying Mark Curry’s Sitcom’

Katt Williams then went at Steve Harvey, who acted as a high school music instructor in the 1996 sitcom, “The Steve Harvey Show.” According to Katt, Steve jacked the idea of his sitcom from comedian, Mark Curry. Curry played teacher, “Mark Cooper,” in the sitcom “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper,” which was first broadcast in 1992:

“The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had,” Williams said. “Now Steve got a sitcom where he’s the principal and he wears a suit.”

Williams mocked Harvey’s acting abilities, mocking Steve’s prior statement that he ‘had no wish to pursue a career in the movies’:

“You couldn’t be a movie star,” Williams said. “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. There ain’t none. You have to have range.”

Steve Harvey Seemingly Responds

After Katt’s interview went viral, Steve Harvey seems to have responded with a simple video message, and a caption that reads:

“Everything I got, I asked God for.”

Katt Called Out Kevin Hart…Kevin Responded

As for Kevin Hart, Katt referred to him as the “Jussie Smollett of comedy.” He says that for many of the roles he turned down due to not wanting to compromise the type of comedy he stood for, Kevin Hart gladly came behind him and gathered up, without any true talent. He also referred to Kevin as an ‘industry plant’ who never earned real clout in the comedy game prior to being put on by Hollywood “gatekeepers.”

Kevin Hart responded to Katt with the following social media post…

Gotta get that anger up outcha champ….It’s honestly sad. In the meantime…. Please enjoy MY MOVIE TRAILER to my next film “LIFT” which will be dropping on @netflix in 8 days!!!!! There is a moment in the trailer where @gugumbatharaw says “They Really Love You” ….I now know… pic.twitter.com/vM8PhVoC08
