In a surprising turn of events, comedian Cat Williams has sparked a storm on social media with his recent appearance on Shannon Sharp’s Club Shay Shay podcast. During the nearly three-hour conversation, Williams didn’t hold back, candidly addressing various grievances and comments directed at fellow comedians and artists.

 

One of his main targets was Cedric the Entertainer, whom Williams accused of stealing one of his jokes from the 1990s. Williams claimed that Cedric had delivered the joke word for word on multiple platforms, including Comic View and the Kings of Comedy tour. He also criticized Cedric’s comedy specials, suggesting they were of poor quality.

Kevin Hart also found himself in Williams’ crosshairs, with Williams referring to Hart as a “plant” in the industry. Williams questioned how Hart had achieved such rapid success in Hollywood, suggesting that he had deals lined up even before arriving in LA.

Steve Harvey wasn’t spared either, as Williams accused him of stealing material from Mark Curry for his own sitcom. Williams also questioned Harvey’s ambitions to become a movie star, suggesting that he lacked the range to succeed in Hollywood.

Ricky Smiley also faced accusations from Williams, who claimed that Smiley had lied about Williams’ involvement in the film Friday After Next.

In addition to his criticisms of fellow comedians, Williams revealed that he had been blackballed in Hollywood for speaking out against allegations made against Michael Jackson and R Kelly. He also disclosed turning down a major offer worth $50 million, demonstrating his commitment to maintaining his values.

Responses to Williams’ outburst have been swift and varied, with some questioning the validity of his claims and others expressing support for his outspokenness. Regardless of the reactions, Williams has once again stirred up controversy in the world of comedy with his unfiltered commentary.

As the dust settles on Williams’ verbal onslaught, the comedy community awaits to see what repercussions, if any, will follow his bold statements.
