The legendary comedian is seeking to transform a vacant military base in Alabama that he purchased into a state-of-the-arc film studio.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Williams expressed that he was inspired by the work of Tyler Perry

“The reason why my life works in golf and off the golf course is because I follow instructions well,” Williams explained.“So if I see somebody do a good job, I just want to do a good job. I’m going to follow the example. So Tyler Perry got a military base, made it into a movie studio, and started making movies.”

But Williams made sure to let everyone know that he would not be donning women’s clothing like Perry does for his Madea character

“Are you making movies?” Fallon asked.

I’m not wearing dresses,” Williams said as the crowd erupted in laughter. 

“Last year, Williams told GQ that he was inspired by Perry along with 50 Cent and Donald Glover to invest in the enterprise.

“It’s just not fair to put all that pressure on Tyler Perry,” he explained to the magazine. “He can only do so much.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Williams shared that he was once sued by Dr. Seuss for using his name when he was an up-and-coming comic.

“I had only done ‘Comic View’ twice, Jimmy, and I get a cease and desist. I got a cease and desist for my appearances on ‘Comic View’ where I made $300 from three seasons. And they sent a cease and desist,” Williams recalled. “And because I’m a naturally positive person, like to the point where if something negative happens in front of me—I don’t see it. So when they sued me for the name, I was like ‘Wait a minute, I’m worthless. How the hell did I end up on their radar? I’m gonna make it!”

Katt Williams Claims Harvey Weinstein Solicited Him With Two Actress https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-claims-harvey-weinstein-solicited-him-with-two-actress/ https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-claims-harvey-weinstein-solicited-him-with-two-actress/#respond Thu, 30 Jan 2025 01:00:00 +0000 https://www.hot97.com/?p=145961 Katt Williams is speaking out about his alleged encounter with Harvey Weinstein.

During an appearance on This Past Weekend With Theo Von, he claimed that the incarcerated film producer offered him “two actresses” like they were “playing cards” in a meeting on one occasion.

Williams was responding to Von’s question about whether celebrities had to “compromise themselves sexually for entertainment.” 

“Not entertainment, exclusively,” Williams said. “Politics, religion, science. Everywhere. Some of this is human nature, right? Because we listen and we don’t judge.”

According to Williams, as his star began to rise, the more he was exposed to.

“Most of the stuff I wouldn’t have believed until I had to get to a certain level to get to see the proof,” Williams said. “I was as shocked as anybody about how powerful Harvey Weinstein was at the time that I was meeting with him and how he could not be told no, that he gets whatever he wants. You follow what I’m saying? And I thought that didn’t apply to me because I don’t care about nothing. … And then he offered me two actresses like they were playing cards. I was like, what?”

Williams also noted how much power Weinstein wielded in the entertainment industry.

“I was just as shocked as anybody about how powerful Harvey Weinstein was at the time that I was meeting with him,” Williams added. “How he could not be told no.”

“Look, in these scary situations, I don’t even leave it up to me,” Katt said. “I’m gon’ do what the superhero would do in this part of the movie, regardless, and deal with what happens after. Just because it’s a story and I know it’s a story. It’s my story.”

This is not the first time Williams has mentioned he had an interaction with Weinstein, In his viral interview on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay, Katt alleged that Weinstein “offered to suck my penis in front of all my people at my agency.

He aslo said that Weinstein offered him $50 Million with various conditions attached.

In 2022, Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual assault in Los Angeles and sentenced to 16 years in prison. However, his 2020 conviction for sexual assault in New York was overturned by the New York Court of Appeals in April 2024.

“Women don’t vote for her. Indians didn’t vote for her. Jews didn’t vote for her. She married a Jew, and they did not vote for her,” he continued. ”B*tches that wanted an ab*ration didn’t vote for her. It was sad. Sad, sad, sad.”

“They say that Katt Williams got more votes and I wasn’t even running,” he added. “They said they just wrote me in. I don’t know.”

The Academy-Award winner shared his thoughts while promoting his latest film Back In Action with co-star Cameron Diaz. Appearing on Complex’s GOAT Talk, Foxx took aim at a fellow comedian describing him as “bi**h made a** ni**a.”

“Bi**h made a** ni**a,” he repeated. “Bi**h made, for me, is actually scientific, because when I see [the] guy that I’m talking about, he’s usually small, he’s 128 lbs. Bi**h made,” Foxx said.

“How many men do you know who are 128 lbs?” Diaz asked.

 “A lot of comedians,” Foxx replied. “I’ll leave it at that. A lot of little motherf**king comedians. Bi**h made a** ni**a, f**k outta here, man. Tiny a**, tiny motherf**ker.”

After mentioning the comic’s lack of height, many speculated that he was speaking about Katt Williams.

During a recent comedy gig,  Williams gave his take on Foxx’s latest Netflix special What Had Happened Was.

 “Five minutes in, I’m crying like a baby,” Williams  admitted., “Why am I crying at a special, n*gga? Jamie Foxx not sh*t.”

He then went on to accuse Foxx of being cloned.

 “Let me be specific, anything I say tonight is alleged, b*tch. I don’t know sh t, I just talk up here,” Williams added.

“Let me say that. I love Jamie Foxx. He a… clone. His clone ain’t sh*t. His clone kept on messing up,” he continued.The clone showed up with a face full of freckles.”

Willaims also implied that Foxx’s wealth had earned him a prized spot in the Illuminati.

“And they would kill me if they could,” Williams said to thunderous laughter. “But I’m too fast. Thank Jesus.”

Katt Williams Claims Jamie Foxx Is A “Clone” After Wild Roasts https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-claims-jamie-foxx-is-a-clone-after-wild-roasts/ https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-claims-jamie-foxx-is-a-clone-after-wild-roasts/#respond Mon, 13 Jan 2025 19:15:17 +0000 https://www.hot97.com/?p=145048 Katt Williams has added Jamie Foxx to his list of comedy targets for 2025, humorously suggesting that the actor may have been “cloned.” During a recent performance, Williams recalled Foxx hosting “butt-naked basketball parties,” joking about the bizarre nature of these events. He further teased the idea that the mystery surrounding Foxx’s recent health issues might not be so puzzling if you subscribe to certain conspiracy theories.

In typical Katt Williams style, he suggested that Foxx’s immense wealth had earned him a spot in the Illuminati, the notorious secret society often discussed in pop culture. Williams didn’t stop there, humorously adding that he wouldn’t mind joining the Illuminati himself—not for power, but to uncover a few secrets and share them with the public. “And they would kill me if they could,” Williams joked. “But I’m too fast. Thank Jesus.”

The crowd erupted in laughter as Williams continued with his wild humor, claiming that one of the secrets he would reveal is why McDonald’s French fries are so irresistible. “How is that possible?” he pondered, once again drawing laughs from the audience. His performance was classic Williams—provocative, chaotic, and hilarious.

Williams remains one of the most unpredictable and entertaining figures in comedy today. Whether addressing controversial topics or making absurd jokes, his performances never fail to leave audiences talking long after the show ends.

Katt Williams Regrets Joking About Michael Jackson https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-regrets-joking-about-michael-jackson/ https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-regrets-joking-about-michael-jackson/#respond Tue, 31 Dec 2024 02:00:00 +0000 https://www.hot97.com/?p=144306 Katt Williams wishes he would never have joked about Michael Jackson on stage. According to Williams, his comedy routine bout the “King of Pop” helped to perpetuate stereotypes against Black men.

Speaking in an interview at the Vulture festival, Williams admitted that he was way too forceful with his approach.

“I shouldn’t have, honestly,” Williams said.

“Some of these things are the reason that the enemy decides to go ahead and let you be famous,” Williams said. “It’s your ability to tear down your own kind no matter how high they are. On the other hand, my job is to be funny first and to voice the opinion of a group that doesn’t get to have their opinion out there, right? So as a Black man, if you don’t love yourself, you don’t love me.”

While he didn’t go into specifics, Williams noted that he did have an issue with Jackson at the time.

“Those were the jokes of a guy that was hurt, you know?” Williams added. “By an icon.”

Williams also shared that he was stunned when he met Janet Jackson,  Jackson’s sister. She said he was gracious to him in their encounter.

“The fact that years later, Janet Jackson said she still loved me despite the jokes that I told about her brother is probably one of the most magnificent things, you know? Just because I say a lot of hilarious sh*t. But it costs me every time, you know? Like, I’m never unscathed in these situations,” Williams said.

While Williams may have regretted joking king about Jackson, he has no apologies for airing out his targets this year. During his legendary sit-down with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, Williams took aim at some of his comedy colleagues such as Kevin Hart and Steve Harvey. He also foreshadowed the current legal issues of Diddy.

Brandon T. Jackson Calls Katt Williams A ‘False Prophet’ https://www.hot97.com/news/brandon-t-jackson-calls-katt-williams-a-false-prophet/ https://www.hot97.com/news/brandon-t-jackson-calls-katt-williams-a-false-prophet/#respond Thu, 12 Dec 2024 23:19:11 +0000 https://www.hot97.com/?p=143485 Brandon T. Jackson has had enough of Katt Williams and called him a “false prophet.” 

In his infamous appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay,” Williams said that Jackson was only famous because he dressed like a woman in Big Momma House 3.

During an appearance on “The Kid L Podcast”, Jackson claimed that Williams is a ringleader of a “fake woke” movement that’s growing in the Black community. 

“Stop talking through the media…why he ain’t come to me first?” Jackson said.

“I don’t like fake prophets. If you’re a real prophet, be a real prophet. Don’t just say stuff in the media,” he continued. “Real prophets follow the law of God. If not, you’re just a comedian talking sh*t and trying to sell tickets. Don’t come off if you’re a prophet disguised as a comedian. I’m fine with that. But real prophets have honor, not fake honor.”

Jackson aslo alleged that Williams has been going at him since he was a young comedian.

“You’re exposing the industry, but you’re sides to the same people you exposed… Don’t act like you f**king free, bro. You a slave just like everybody else. Stop the bullsh*t,” Jackson later added. “Katt needs to have honor and come to the people for real and say, ‘What’s up?’ ‘Cause, Katt been dissing me since I was 20…and I’ve been nothing but a fan of him.”

The Lottery Ticket star went on to claim that Williams has a drug problem saying “cocaine and Jesus don’t mix.”

“You can’t sniff cocaine and say you love Jesus at the same time. Like, what is he? Cocaine and Jesus don’t mix. Like, stop the games. Either you going to be righteous or you going to be wicked. Or you say I’m both,” Jackson said. “Or say, look I’m working on myself. I mean nobody’s perfect. But don’t act like you just profit, dude.

“Exactly, like, are you a prophet or you trying to profit?” he added. “Don’t do this woke sh*t if you’re not really going to be about it. That’s my issue and that’s why I don’t respect what Katt Williams be saying.”

Katt Williams Reveals Why He Mentioned Diddy On Club Shay Shay https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-reveals-why-he-mentioned-diddy-on-club-shay-shay/ https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-reveals-why-he-mentioned-diddy-on-club-shay-shay/#respond Thu, 21 Nov 2024 15:58:33 +0000 https://www.hot97.com/?p=142123 Katt Williams’s Club Shay Shay interview began an unforgettable 2024.

Over the past year, the comedic actor has been at the center of an ongoing viral conversation sparked by his bold remarks during an interview on Club Shay Shay. In the interview, Williams quipped that “all of these deviants are catching hell in 2024,” a statement that has taken on an eerie resonance as scandals involving high-profile figures continue to unfold. Among his most pointed comments was a reference to Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose recent legal troubles have reignited public interest in Williams’ controversial claims.

While discussing Dave Chappelle’s infamous decision to reject a $50 million deal with Comedy Central, Williams shifted focus to Diddy, alleging troubling behavior. “P Diddy be wanting to party, and you’ve got to tell him no,” Williams told host Shannon Sharpe. “I did. I got the receipts.” In a recent interview with GQ, the American Hustle star elaborated on his remarks, revealing personal motivations behind his animosity toward the music mogul.

Williams linked his disdain for Diddy to his admiration for Tupac Shakur. “When I was young, Tupac was my favorite artist. I loved Tupac, and I felt like we were kindred spirits,” he explained. “So if I hear you were responsible for knocking my n**ga off…” Williams trailed off, referencing long-standing speculation about Diddy’s alleged connection to Tupac’s death. “I don’t care what job I end up in or how things go. If I find a way to get you, that’s what I’m about. I just don’t like you walking around scot-free.”

Williams didn’t mince words, going as far as labeling Combs a “demon.” He elaborated, “You’re a demon, and I know demons are powerful, but I also know why they’re powerful. There’s cold spiritual warfare going on out here, and part of my job is to stay focused on that.”

Eight months after Williams’ viral remarks, Combs’ legal situation took a dark turn. In September, he was arrested in New York City and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Since his arrest, the former music mogul has been held at the MDC Brooklyn detention center and has been denied bail twice.

Katt Williams’ incendiary comments and Diddy’s subsequent legal troubles have fueled speculation and debate, blurring the lines between conspiracy and reality in a saga that continues to captivate the public.

Katt Williams Wanted To End Careers With Club Shay Shay Interview https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-wanted-to-end-careers-with-club-shay-shay-interview/ https://www.hot97.com/news/katt-williams-wanted-to-end-careers-with-club-shay-shay-interview/#respond Mon, 18 Nov 2024 18:49:57 +0000 https://www.hot97.com/?p=141919 Katt Williams recently revisited his explosive Club Shay Shay interview during an appearance at Vulture Festival. Reflecting on his headline-making chat with Shannon Sharpe at the start of 2024, Williams admitted that he’d gone into the podcast with a specific goal: to damage the careers of certain comedians. Known for his sharp critique and unapologetic humor, Williams didn’t hold back in his comments about fellow comedians Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey, and Tiffany Haddish.

As he explained at Vulture Festival, he believed he had cracked the social media algorithm before appearing on Club Shay Shay, planning to leverage it for maximum impact. “I [set] out to kill the careers of the people I was talking about,” he admitted. “But it was so vicious that I erased all of the knockout blows and just left the jabs, so that the comic I’m talking about knows, ‘I know your real story, motherf*ckers.’ Ima tell this, but you know what else I know.”

During the discussion, Williams also joked about the ongoing controversies surrounding Diddy, despite the Bad Boy founder’s denials. Williams clarified his stance as an “outsider” to Hollywood’s elite social circles. “I’m anti-establishment, so I can never be the establishment,” he said. “Even if I’m at the Diddy party, I’m there to tell. I’m there to see, Who the f*ck is in here and what do y’all get from being in here? So, nobody likes to have me around. I’m there for bad intentions.”

Williams went on to address Saturday Night Live’s impersonation of him following his Club Shay Shay appearance. He explained, “A lot of times, when people are doing an impression of you, they’re really showing you how they feel about you. So, for ‘Saturday Night Live’ to have an impression of me and have a woman do that, it means they think I’m a b****.” He also reflected on how this portrayal affected his career.
