Katt Williams has the comedian world a little shook up after he name-dropped a few and sounded off his opinion of them on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe. At one point in the interview, he discussed his time on filming for the Friday After Next film where he says he confronted Rickey Smiley over his role being more significant than his.
Smiley had also been on set telling others that he should’ve been the one to play Money Mike instead of Williams.
“Your story is the Rickey Smiley that couldn’t even do curse words because he had a Christian fanbase; he was gon’ play the pimp? Why you didn’t ask him why has he played a woman in more movies than he’s played a man?” Williams said.
He went on to speak of the next film they had wound up being on, which was First Sunday where he says Smiley was a better fit for that.
“That’s where he’s the believable actor. Him and Tyler Perry can’t play a man to save they life. They play good women, and I believe that the best actor should be in the best role.”
Now going into the discussion of the comedians, Williams spoke of Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer, and Smiley.
“For 30 years, they’re a group. These aren’t three random guys,” he said. “The way that Rickey Smiley kept appearing at all my auditions is because of Steve and Ced. He would tell anybody that. Listen, they got a gang on that side. They know what it is.”
Speaking on Cedric specifically he says:
“Cedric did the same thing. Cedric told you when you asked him, ‘Did you steal Katt Williams’ joke?’ He said, ‘It don’t line up,’. How it don’t line up that I did it on TV in 2018? You came to see me at the Comedy Store do it in 2019, and then did it on The Kings of Comedy?'”
“We found out he can’t sing, can’t dance and doesn’t write jokes. He did four comedy specials. They’re so bad, Shannon, they’re not available on Netflix or Tubi.” Williams retorted.
On Steve specifically he says:
“The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had. Now Steve got a sitcom where he the principal, and he wear a suit. And then he gets this high-top fade, making all Black men think he got the best lineup in the business. And it’s a man unit.”
He continued, “Then you ask him, ‘Why you not a movie star?’ ‘I didn’t want to be a movie star.’ This the same negro that hated on Bernie with this same thing. 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.”
Cedric The Entertainer responded to Katt Williams on Instagram where he says the “tough talk” is corny.
