That&#8217;s how you end up with Michael Blackson, who is a real African, doin a fake African accent,&#8221; Williams said, insisting that Blackson has stayed mad at him for years because he told him to stop dressing in &#8220;dirty daishikis.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Blackson <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MichaelBlackson\/status\/1742698339303571835\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">took to X to quip that Williams smartly took shots<\/a><span> at &#8220;the top 10 comedians alive today&#8221; so he could regain relevance. And while Blackson ranked Williams as the fourth best comedian alive &#8212; a list on which he ranked himself at number 10 &#8212; he wrote that Williams&#8217; glory years are long behind him and claimed he witnessed Williams get heckled in his Cincinnati hometown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A surprising target of Williams&#8217; comments was rapper and actor Ludacris, whom the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C1tCd7krd9Z\/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">comic accused of\u00a0being part of the Illuminati<\/a><span> and joining in exchange for movie success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;We were both invited to an Illuminati thing,&#8221; Williams said, claiming that both he and Ludacris were up for a role in the late\u00a0John Singleton&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><em><span>2 Fast Too Furious<\/span><\/em><span>. &#8220;It had to be one or the other of us, and decisions had to be made.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;One of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn&#8217;t do the sideburn thing no more with the points,&#8221; he alleged. &#8220;And the next person, they said, was going to get $200 million because they were going to pay him 10 million a movie to do 20 movies.\u00a0One of those persons turned out to be Ludacris, and the other person turned out to be Katt Williams.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ludacris&#8217; relatively small part in <\/span><em><span>2 Fast Too Furious<\/span><\/em><span> led to a recurring role <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/movies\/fast-x\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in the ongoing franchise<\/a><span>. The comic claimed that the rapper-turned-actor was\u00a0given &#8220;a light-skinned ugly-faced wife,&#8221; referring to his wife, Eudoxie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In response, Ludacris shared a one-minute video in which he\u00a0raps over Kanye West&#8217;s &#8220;Devil In A Blue Dress&#8221; instrumental and fires back, &#8220;Never been Illuminati, only Ill-Luda-nati\/ And I only left with bitches when coming from any party\/ Now I&#8217;m married with kids, the evolution of life\/ Never been a clout-chaser, never say shit for likes\/ RIP John Singleton, you never have to flex\/ When you earn every one of your<\/span><em><span> Fast &amp; Furious<\/span><\/em><span> checks\/ Afro with the sideburns, yeah, that&#8217;s my signature\/ Addiction&#8217;s on the rise, comedians check your temperature.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Williams also gave his side to another long-standing feud, this time with Cedric the Entertainer. The comic insisted that Cedric\u00a0allegedly stole one of his best jokes, an accusation that Cedric denied on a\u00a02022\u00a0<\/span><em><span>Club Shay Shay<\/span><\/em><span> episode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;He thought that I was just a no-name comedian and that he could take this joke and nobody would know,&#8221; Williams claimed. &#8220;The issue was that I had already done this particular joke on BET&#8217;s <\/span><em><span>ComicView<\/span><\/em><span> twice. It had done so well on BET&#8217;s <\/span><em><span>ComicView<\/span><\/em><span> that they made it part of the commercial.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;This is not just a random joke &#8212; this is my very best joke, and it&#8217;s my last joke, and it&#8217;s my closing joke,&#8221; Williams continued. &#8220;[In] 1998 I&#8217;m doing this joke; it&#8217;s on <\/span><em><span>ComicView<\/span><\/em><span>. 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&#8217;s doing that as his last joke on the [<\/span><em><span>Original] Kings of Comedy<\/span><\/em><span> and he&#8217;s doing it verbatim, he&#8217;s just changed my car into a spaceship.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Williams also claimed that Cedric apologized for taking his material. &#8220;Him and Steve [Harvey] had already apologized for me so I gave him a pass for a decade,&#8221; he said on <\/span><em><span>Club Shay Shay<\/span><\/em><span>. &#8220;Are you kidding me? Why would you downplay me like that? Why did I give you a pass if you were just going to lie?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cedric took <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C1pUGMBxZts\/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to the comments section of <em>Club Shay Shay<\/em>&#8216;s Instagram page<\/a><span> to deny Williams&#8217; claims again, calling the story &#8220;revisionist history.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;My career can&#8217;t be reduced to One Joke Katt Williams claims as his.

Not one of them asked for a country bumpkin Black dude that can&#8217;t talk good&#8230;.and look like Mr. Potato Head,&#8221; Williams said of Harvey. &#8220;There ain&#8217;t none. You have to have range.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The comic later claimed Harvey lied about his origin story, alleging, &#8220;This is like Steve Harvey telling people he used to be homeless. That&#8217;s my story, that&#8217;s not his story. Steve Harvey was never homeless. 25 years ago he was making $3,000 a show in cash and doing five shows a week&#8230; they just tell the stories.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Who cares that they wrote a plaque card for you to do <\/span><em><span>Family Feud<\/span><\/em><span> on?&#8221; Williams later added. &#8220;Like, you&#8217;re successful because we&#8217;re surprised you can talk for a living and it&#8217;s entertaining that you going to say some funny country things, but not a writer.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Watch Williams&#8217; full interview on\u00a0<\/span><em><span>Club Shay Shay<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span>RELATED CONTENT:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/katt-williams-podcast-claims-kevin-hart-ludacris-cedric-the-entertainer-and-more-fire-back-217326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When comedian Katt Williams made his appearance on Shannon Sharpe&#8217;s\u00a0Club Shay Shay\u00a0YouTube show\u00a0and podcast, he predicted the episode\u00a0would have the internet in shambles &#8212; and he was proven right very quickly after.\u00a0 Williams&#8217; interview premiered on Wednesday, and throughout the nearly three-hour video &#8212; reportedly the longest in Club Shay Shay history &#8212; the 52-year-old [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":66540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[5820,174,2399,188,20],"class_list":{"0":"post-66539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-make-up","8":"tag-cedric-the-entertainer","9":"tag-entertainment-tonight","10":"tag-kevin-hart","11":"tag-ludacris","12":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
