What did Katt Williams say in the Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast?

Katt Williams created quite a controversy during his recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast by accusing three of his contemporary comedians for various reasons.

Williams first called out Cedric the Entertainer, claiming that the veteran comedian allegedly stole his jokes. He also claimed that the jokes by Cedric the Entertainer were apparently not on par with his. The comedian went on to criticize Cedric's looks, comparing him to a "walrus" with no talent.

"We found out he can't sing, can't dance and doesn't write jokes. He did four comedy specials. They're so bad, Shannon, they're not available on Netflix or Tubi."

He then called out comedy veteran Steve Harvey for allegedly plagiarizing Curry's role as Mark Cooper on The Steve Harvey Show.

"The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had...Now Steve got a sitcom where he the principal, and he wear a suit. And then he gets this high-top fade, making all Black men think he got the best lineup in the business. And it's a man unit."

He also criticized Harvey for reportedly not landing good Hollywood roles despite the high volume of films that come out every year.

Lastly, Katt Williams also called out Smiley for apparently lying to him about a role. He further added towards the end that the trio of comedians had reportedly conspired against him for years now.

"For 30 years, they're a group. These aren't three random guys...The way that Rickey Smiley kept appearing at all my auditions is because of Steve and Ced. He would tell anybody that. Listen, they got a gang on that side. They know what it is."
