The legendary comedian recently appeared on Carmelo Anthony’s 7 PM in Brooklyn podcast, where he addressed talk about similarities between himself and the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper. For Williams, the parallels run deeper than entertainment—they’re about purpose, principles, and standing tall in your truth.
“That’s why I said I’m not somebody you want to have beef with. It’s bad optics. I’m on the righteous side, and if I make a mistake, work with me. But other than that, you have no reason to be,” Williams said.
Katt Williams on Kendrick’s Power Moves
Williams praised Lamar’s recent performances in Toronto, pointing to how bold it is for the rapper to step into rival territory with confidence and conviction.
“We all are just understanding what Kendrick has to be to even be doing the show there,” Williams said, referencing Lamar’s Grand National Tour stops in Drake’s hometown.
The comedian continued:
“We’re not talking about Drake doing his show in LA. We are not talking about him in the Bay. We’re not talking about that. But we are talking about Kendrick going there and doing his body of work. That’s what it means to stand on them 10. It means standing on that business.”
“Say It Viciously, Say It Accurately”
Williams explained why he delivers his truths so fiercely, likening it to Lamar’s uncompromising lyricism:
