Williams accuses his fellow comedian of stealing a classic routine, but Cedric isn’t staying silent. Here’s what went down.
‘Say That to Me’: Cedric The Entertainer Calls Out Katt Williams for Accusing Him During An Interview of Stealing His Joke But Not to Cedric’s Face
Fans of stand-up comedy are buzzing about the latest feud heating up between two comedy legends – Cedric the Entertainer and Katt Williams. It all started with a recent interview where Williams leveled serious accusations of joke theft against his fellow comedian.
Williams recounted the alleged incident, claiming that Cedric watched him perform a carefully crafted bit from the audience. The joke, Williams says, was one of his signature closers. Years later, Katt was shocked to discover that Cedric was now using that same joke, with minor alterations, as the closer in his own ‘Kings of Comedy’ shows.
Williams Sounds Off
Williams clearly feels disrespected, stating in the interview: “The issue was that I had already done this particular joke on BET’s ‘ComicView’ twice… He thought that I was just a no-name comedian, and that he could take this joke and nobody would know.” Williams also hints that this isn’t a one-time thing, alluding that Cedric has a pattern of borrowing material without credit.
Cedric Claps Back
Cedric the Entertainer isn’t taking these accusations lightly. While he hasn’t yet done a full-fledged interview response, he’s quickly addressed the controversy on social media. Cedric suggests that Williams is overstating things. He argues that while comedians often draw from similar experiences, it’s unfair to label those parallels as outright theft.
The Joke in Question?
Both sides haven’t explicitly described the disputed joke. Was it a specific routine about a topic like relationships or childhood? Was it more of a general performance style Williams feels is being copied? This ambiguity only adds to the intrigue surrounding this feud.
The Fierce Millennial Take
Accusations of joke theft are a serious matter in the world of comedy. It’s understandable that Williams feels wronged, especially if he believes the joke was unique and core to his act. It’s also fair for Cedric to want to defend his reputation and explain his own creative process. Hopefully, with more open dialogue, these two comedy greats can find a resolution – or at least keep entertaining us with their war of words.
