Katt Williams made controversial remarks during Shannon Sharpe‘s “Club Shay Shay,” targeting Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer, Rickey Smiley, and other peers.
Katt criticized several of his renowned colleagues, beginning with Rickey Smiley, his “Next Friday” co-star, for alleging that their roles in the movie were swapped before filming began during an appearance on “CSS” last year.
Katt asserted that he not only consistently portrayed “Money Mike” but also took charge of rewriting the character’s scene to prevent an on-screen assault with Terry Crews‘ character “Damon.”
Following the “Friday After Next” controversy, Katt stipulated in his contract that Rickey could only appear in movies with him if he wore a dress, as Katt considered that to be the extent of his acting abilities. This condition materialized in 2008’s “First Sunday,” with Rickey portraying the church lady “Bernice Jenkins.”
Cedric also faced criticism for alleging that Katt stole jokes from him during his “CSS” episode. Katt didn’t mince words, portraying Cedric as untalented for having “Entertainer” in his name despite being unable to sing, dance, or write his own material. Katt pointed out that Cedric’s stand-up shows are of such low quality that there is no demand for them on Netflix or Tubi.
Although Ced’s “Live from the Ville” from 2016 is available on Netflix, Katt alleged that the real joke thief is Steve Harvey, for undermining Mark Curry‘s “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper” sitcom in the past with his “The Steve Harvey Show”. Both shows revolved around the comedians playing high school teachers, but Mark’s series premiered 4 years earlier.
Katt accused all of them of conspiring against him and attempting to blacklist him behind the scenes. Furthermore, he directed criticism towards Earthquake and Faizon Love for not measuring up to his level of greatness.
Katt is set to embark on his “Dark Matter” tour this year, and it’s likely that none of these individuals will be spared from his on-stage fury.
