After Katt Williams’ scathing remarks about black comics, Dave Chappelle did not mince words.
The comedian expressed his emotions about Katt Williams’ recent interview on Club Shay Shay, in which Williams disparaged other Black comedians.
On Friday night, at MonDERAYS at the Hollywood Improv, hosted by comic DeRay Davis, Chappelle responded to the situation.
Even though Chappelle’s gigs are known for having a strict no-phone policy, portions of his performance in which the comedian berates Williams have gone viral on social media.
“What part of the game is this?” He only ethered the niggas. He said nothing about any of the white boys. “None of these white boys function like that,” Chappelle stated about Williams during his performance.
“Katt is one of the best painters in the game. So why are you drawing ugly pictures of us? Stop.”
On Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Williams spoke about Tiffany Haddish, Steve Harvey, Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, and Cedric the Entertainer.
The interview went viral, and it was even referenced in a recent Saturday Night Live comedy.
“Hurt people hurt people, but I am a hurt person that never hurt people, and he does it all the time: ‘F*ck this one, and f*ck that one, and f*ck this one,’” Chappelle remarked, imitating Williams.
“But, nigga, I didn’t hear anything that you did wrong. He didn’t do nothin’ wrong? Katt didn’t do nothin’ wrong?… Katt was talking about shit that niggas did to other niggas, but not about anything that niggas did to him.”
Chappelle went on to say that telling his story would “break your heart” and that he had “lost everything and never, ever told on anybody.”
He went on to state that he does “f*ck with Katt hard,” but questioned Williams’ intentions for critiquing his colleagues when “all of us are trying to be in a better situation.”
