It’s no secret that Katt Williams had a lot to say during his explosive interview with Shannon Sharpe on the latter’s Club Shay Shay podcast. He took aim at several of his fellow comedians, including but not limited to Cedric The Entertainer, Michael Blackson, Kevin Hart, and Tiffany Haddish. He also called out Steve Harvey, accusing him of stealing the concept for The Steve Harvey Show from Mark Curry’s Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper.
Back in August, Harvey appeared to fire back at Invest Fest, urging his audience not to let “haters” bring them down. “You’ll never have a hater that’s doing better than you. Always know that,” he said at the time. “I just don’t have the quickness I had, but I can still turn my hip and shift that weight, and I’d knock yo’ short a** out. I’d shoot yo’ perm straight out yo’ head.”
Steve Harvey Questions Katt Williams’ Motives
Now, Harvey appears to have addressed Williams yet again, this time on an episode of Vice TV‘s Black Comedy in America. He took a similar approach this time around, arguing that he’s not about tearing other entertainers down. “When did we get into the tear each other down business, cuz you ain’t never heard me say not a disparaging remark against another comedian nowhere,” he explained. “We ain’t cut from that cloth. So why are you? What is your motive for doing this here?”
Harvey continued, noting how he has plenty of opportunities to speak poorly of others, but simply chooses not to. “I don’t do that, I don’t got no minutes for you, man. I’m not in the tear-down business, I’m in the uplift business,” he said.
