Katt Williams claims Cedric the Entertainer stole his Jokes

Cedric the Entertainer refuted claims that he stole jokes from the comedian

(Web Desk) - Comedian Katt Williams doubled down on his claim that Cedric the Entertainer stole jokes from him.

In a new two-and-a-half hour interview on Club Shay Shay that premiered Wednesday, Williams told host Shannon Sharpe, "He thought that I was just a no-name comedian and that he could take this joke and nobody would know.

The issue was that I had already done this particular joke on BET's ComicView twice. It had done so well on BET's

ComicView that they made it part of the commercial."

Williams shared, "This is not just a random joke, this is my best joke, and it's my last joke, and it's my closing joke. [In] 1998,

I'm doing this joke; 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 just changed my car into a spaceship."

Williams claimed Cedric the Entertainer later apologized so he gave him a "pass for a decade," but when Cedric

publicly denied it two years ago on the same podcast, Williams got upset.

"Why would you downplay me like that? Why would I give you a pass if you were just gonna lie?" said Williams.

In November 2022, when Cedric the Entertainer appeared on Club Shay Shay, he called Williams' claims "ridiculous." "I've seen this guy [Williams] 30 times. Like, dog,

 

if you literally was that upset about it, like why didn't you say nothing, like that don't even make sense," he said. "This is some internet sh--, and that's all I can say, so, you know, when I responded to him, he didn't respond back to me, and I left it at that."

Following Williams' latest comments, Cedric the Entertainer reportedly responded in Club Shay Shay's Instagram comments section.

"Revisionist History," he wrote, adding, "regardless of whatever Katts opinion My career can't be reduced to One Joke Katt Williams claims as his."

He continued, "I been over 40 movies, my specials and brand speaks volumes for I am. The ppl I have put on including 'Katt in the Hat'. At the Gibson Amphitheater."

Cedric the Entertainer added, "And all that tough talk! Is corny af I'm grown ass man. And none of that sh-- gonna go like you think. You do you and I got this over here."
