Katt Williams Blasts Cedric The Entertainer Over Alleged Stolen Joke
HuffPost
The "Friday After Next" star pulled no punches during a fiery appearance on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast.
Katt Williams slammed fellow comedian Cedric the Entertainer this week in a fiery interview on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast.
In the podcast episode, released Wednesday, the “Friday After Next” actor pulled no punches when he doubled down on a previous accusation that Cedric stole one of his best jokes, telling host Shannon Sharpe that Cedric later tried to “rewrite history.”
Cedric (born Cedric Kyles) had denied stealing the joke from Williams during an appearance on “Club Shay Shay” in 2022. But Williams insisted in Wednesday’s episode that Cedric did lift his joke.
“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.”
Williams has claimed that Cedric copied a bit that he used during a 1992 appearance on BET’s stand-up comedy series “ComicView.” Williams accused the “Barbershop” actor of performing the alleged stolen joke in the 2000 film “The Original Kings of Comedy.” Clips of both comedians performing their jokes have made the rounds on X, the former Twitter.
