*Days after calling Kevin Hart a “puppet” during a standup comedy routine in Atlanta, Katt Williams is taking things up a notch with challenging the 36-year-old “Ride Along” star to a $5 million battle.
“I’ve already proven that if the best they got in comedy is Kevin Hart…,” Williams said amid the loud boos that interrupted him. “Don’t you boo a black man working hard, baby. Even if that ______ a puppet, it’s not his fault. We don’t get mad. Just because I’m better than some black dudes, doesn’t mean I’m better than no black dudes. I’m saying if you want to be mad at Kermit The Frog, don’t be mad at Kermit The Frog, be mad at Jim Henson. Don’t say, ‘f*ck Donald Duck’ when you really mean, ‘fuck Walt Disney.”
Williams’ beef with Hart comes just one day before he was arrested and charged with assault on Monday after allegedly punching a pool supply store employee in Gainesville, GA.
Although he didn’t name Williams directly, Hart seemed to be taking a shot at the 42-year-old funnyman with a picture he posted on Instagram that shows him posing backstage at the Oscars with Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle. Scroll below to see Hart’s post:
“True professionals understand the importance of sticking together & supporting one another. At the end of the day we are comedians & there aren’t many that make it to level that we have made it. It’s about helping one another not trying to tear each other down!!!!”
Not letting the chance to respond go by, Williams fired back on Tuesday (Mar. 1) after bonding out of jail by challenging Hart to a $5 million winner-takes-all battle in front of Hart’s hometown crowd in Philadelphia.
