Katt Williams has criticized Cedric the Entertainer over alleged stealing of one of his best jokes.
On Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, Williams blasted his fellow comedian for denying the joke theft on the same show in 2022.
Speaking on the incident, Williams said “He thought that I was just a no-name comedian and that he could take this joke and nobody would know.”
While noting that he had done the particular joke on BET’s ComicView twice, Williams observed that “This is not just a random joke — this is my very best joke and it’s my last joke and it’s my closing joke.”
“1998 I’m doing this joke, it’s on ComicView. Cedric comes to The Comedy Store. He watches me in the audience, he comes backstage. He tells me what a great job I did and how much he loves the joke. Two years later, he’s doing that as his last joke on the [Original] Kings of Comedy and he’s doing it verbatim, he’s just changed my car into a spaceship,” he further stated.
In his reaction to the accusation, Cedric wrote on an Instagram post, “My career can’t be reduced to One Joke Katt Williams claims as his. I been over 40 movies, my specials and brand speaks volumes for I am.”
“And all that tough talk! Is corny af I’m grown ass man,” he wrote in another comment. “And none of that s— gonna go like you think. You do you and I got this over here..”
