- Katt Williams is an outspoken American comedian
- He recently cleared the air about some controversies
- THIS is what he had to say about fellow comics
The comedy world is ablaze with the sizzling drama between Katt Williams and Cedric the Entertainer as Williams accuses Cedric of joke-jacking! It's a showdown that's got everyone grabbing their popcorn, and we've got the scoop that's too juicy to miss! It looks like a big feud getting ready to start off.
Katt didn't hold back!
Williams, the sharp-tongued comic genius, dropped a bombshell on the 'Club Shay Shay' podcast, claiming Cedric snatched his best joke right from under his nose. "He thought I was just a no-name comedian," Williams fumed, "but that joke was my closer, my show-stopper, and he took it verbatim!"
"He thought that I was just a no-name comedian and that he could take this joke and nobody would know," Williams said. "The issue was that I had already done this particular joke on BET’s ComicView twice. It had done so well on BET’s ComicView that they made it part of the commercial."
"This is not just a random joke — this is my very best joke and it's my last joke and it's my closing joke," Williams continued. "1998 I'm doing this joke, it's on ComicView. Cedric comes to The Comedy Store. He watches me in the audience, he comes backstage. He tells me what a great job I did and how much he loves the joke. Two years later, he's doing that as his last joke on the [Original] Kings of Comedy and he's doing it verbatim, he’s just changed my car into a spaceship."
The reply?
Cedric, on the other hand, laughed off the allegations on the same podcast last year, calling the whole thing "ridiculous" and "some internet sh*t." But Williams isn't having any of it, especially after Cedric's public denial. "Why would you downplay me like that?" Williams questioned, feeling the sting of betrayal.
The plot thickens as Williams claims that Cedric, along with Steve Harvey and Rickey Smiley, form a comedy cabal, shutting out other talents like himself. "They're co-entwined, and they share secrets," Williams revealed, hinting at an industry power play.
As the social media pot stirs, Cedric clapped back in the comments, dismissing Williams' 'Revisionist History' and touting his own career triumphs, including over 40 movies and comedy specials that "speak volumes" for who he is.
But Williams isn't backing down, suggesting Cedric's specials are "so bad they're not on Netflix"—a jab that's sure to leave a mark, despite Cedric's Live From the Ville special streaming there.
And then there were the conspiracies
Katt also spoke about the inner workings of Hollywood and how perverse producers would try to exchange sexual favors in order to get ahead in the industry. Williams mentioned that the status quo of Hollywood is to get naked for the financiers in order to get any success. He mentioned certain artists like Ludacris by name.
Williams said that Ludacris joined the Illuminati secret society in exchange for movie success. He said the star was offered $200 million to appear in 20 movies at $10 million a pop. "'Fast & Furious' is on what number right now?" Williams asked rhetorically, referring to the popular movie franchise that has now released 10 installments and a spinoff movie.
In response, Ludacris shared a freestyle video on X, formerly known as Twitter, in the early hours of Friday morning, rapping over Kanye West's "Devil in a New Dress."
"Never been Illuminati, only Ill-Luda-nati," Ludacris raps partway through the freestyle.
Williams also had criticism of famous comedian Kevin Hart. While addressing Kevin Hart he says, "in 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show…there being a line for him, him getting a standing ovation at any comedy club," Williams said. "He already had his deals when he got here…what do you think a plant is?"
Kevin's response came very quickly online as well. Williams' tirade is bound to alienate him further from an industry that already considers him a bit of an outcast after assault and drug abuse controversies, that Williams claims were made up to discredit his whistleblowing, since he refused to play ball and give anyone sexual favors for success.
So now, it's his word against theirs. Remember when Dave Chappelle asked Oprah, "what is going on in Hollywood? Nobody knows?"

When will it end?
Could they be true?
It's still unclear if Williams has an agenda or if he is simply cleaning house. What it for certain is that more and more stars big and small are coming out in recent years spouting similar claims.
They do say, where there is smoke there is fire, and it's clear that something weird is definitely going on in Hollywood. That is a fact!
And this comedy brawl is far from over, and we're all eyes and ears for the next round of zingers. Will there be a punchline peace treaty, or is this just the opening act of a long comedic conflict? Stay tuned!
