Katt William’s tell-all interview with Shannon Sharpe on “Club Shay Shay” has taken over social media. The internet has been pulling receipts from the explosive two-hour conversation with the NFL Hall of Famer. For example, who were those light-skinned wives with the funny faces? The internet found them. Williams said Cedric the Entertainer stole his best joke. Did it Happen? Well, see for yourself. What about the Wanda Smith interview? Was it that bad? You know what, just take a look.

Cedric the Entertainer copied his jokes?

Maybe the biggest victim was Cedric the Entertainer. Among other things, Williams claimed that the veteran comedian stole his best joke, which Williams debuted in 1998 during BET’s “Comic View.”

Sleuths on TikTok pulled a video which seemingly proves Williams was right and also pulled out many other clips that allegedly revealed Cedric the Entertainer could have borrowed jokes from comedians other than Katt Williams.

Cedric spoke on Williams’ claims in a lengthy video he posted on Instagram.

Steve Harvey’s wig

The fact that people didn’t know that Steve Harvey’s thick head of hair was a wig may be the most shocking thing to come from all of this. Williams went at Harvey’s popular 90s sitcom, “The Steve Harvey Show” claiming that he stole the premise of the show from Mark Curry’s “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.”

Ludacris Illuminati?

Williams said that Ludacris joined the Illuminati to achieve success in the movie industry. Most notably, the “Fast and Furious” franchise. To no surprise, Luda wasn’t going for it and released a one-minute freestyle to dispute the claims.

Kevin Hart

The most popular comedian of the last decade, Kevin Hart, wasn’t safe either. Williams also claimed that “For a five-year period, every single movie that Kevin Hart did was a movie that had been on my desk.” What do y’all think?

Rickey Smiley

Katt Williams chided Sharpe for allowing Rickey Smiley to come on the show and claim that he was the first choice for the role of Money Mike in “Friday After Next,” and that Williams was initially suppose to be the Santa Claus, which eventually was Smiley’s role. Williams not only denied that ever happened, but explained he won the Money Mike role hands down and rewrote his own script. Recently, Ice Cube confirmed that Williams was right about most of what he said. In fact, he said Smiley tried out for the role of Money Mike, but the moment Cube saw Williams, he knew he was Money Mike.

Tyler Perry (and Rickey Smiley again)

This is honestly…next was one of the most scathing things Williams said in the interview. He said that Rickey Smiley was so egregious toward him that Williams drafted a clause in his contract that he’d only work with Smiley if he was wearing a dress.

Then, in a brutal statement, Williams said, “Him and Tyler Perry can’t play a man to save their life. They play good women.”

Buddy cop movie with Martin Lawrence

A buddy cop movie with Martin Lawrence and Katt Williams? I would’ve been in the theaters for that. He claims that Lawrence promised to do a cop film with him, but instead pulled out a script for a Big Momma movie where they are both wearing dresses.

Michael Blackson

Williams even went at Michael Blackson, claiming that he’s a “Real African, doing a fake African accent.” He also said that Blackson has been mad at him for a while after he told him to stop dressing in “dirty daishikis.”

Blackson responded to Williams in a tweet that read, “Katt Williams is a very smart midget neega, he took shots at the top 10 comedians alive today so we can all respond and make him relevant again.

Turned down Diddy invitations

Diddy has been in the news lately for all of the wrong reasons. So it’s no surprise Katt Williams brought him up. He specifically stated, “P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you got to tell him no. I did. See, I got the receipts for everything I’m telling you, that’s why I can say them so freely.”

Never did drugs

One of the most shocking things Katt Williams revealed is that he’s never done drugs a day in his life, despite claims from Kevin Hart and others.

Light-skinned wives

Katt Williams said it, not me. He called out Black men in the entertainment industry and said, “If you sign up for they program, you get a light-skinned weird face wife that never do an interview.” And the sleuths went to town on this one, creating collages with the all the faces of the light-skinned wives.

Another “Friday” movie?

In the process of shading Chris Tucker, Katt Williams said there will never be another Friday movie again, saying, “The Chris Tucker we got now is Epstein Island Chris Tucker, not Smokey… he’s Michael Jackson’s best friend.”

He paid how much for a Walk of Fame star?

Katt Williams said that he paid for Melba Moore’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The one thing that I learned from this is that you have to pay for the star. Last August, Moore thanked Katt Williams for paying for his kindness.

Earthquake

Williams didn’t waste a lot of breath on Earthquake, a fellow comedian. But he did say that he can’t be a famous movie star because he’s illiterate.” He told Shannon, “They found that out when they gave him a show and put the cards in front of him.”
