During his latest interview with Shannon Sharpe, Katt Williams shared his brutally honest thoughts about Kanye West. The 52-year-old American comedian spoke at length about the recent controversial behaviour and antics of the Flashing Lights rapper. Williams likened the 46-year-old rapper to a person with âmental illness.â Moreover, he also criticised Kanyeâs ex-wife, Kim Kardashian and her short-term, much younger ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson.
Katt Williams gives his opinion on Kanye West
The Friday After Next star didnât hold back as the Club Shay Shay podcaster asked him to give his opinion on the Praise God rapper âfrom a distance.â Williams began by saying, âI suspect that weâre pretty awful people if we say that somebody got a mental illness, and then we watch what they do.â

He continued, âIf you say somebody got special needs, then why would you be watching them and holding them accountable like everybody else? Wouldnât you grade them on a curve? Wouldnât you go, âWhew, this guy?ââ
Williams then elaborated his comparison of Kanye and someone with âspecial needsâ by saying, âBecause, I mean, what are we reacting to? What are we reacting to? You are the one that put him in a position where he thought he was God and could call himself Yeezus. Youâre the one that told the guy that writes musical lyrics that he was a genius.â
Katt Williams blasts Kim Kardashian
The Emmy Award-winning stand-up comedian then shifted his focus towards the SKIMS founder. âWhat do you expect? The guy married a wh**e,â Williams said in reference to Kanyeâs marriage to Kim.
âI didnât mean it like that. I mean, he married her because she was one, not that he didnât know,â he continued, adding, âHe understood that he wanted that. He courted that. Thatâs what he wanted to be base his family on.â
Following Williamsâ brutal comments about Kim, Sharpe argued that she has a âgood heart.â However, the Wildân Out star was undeterred in his strong opinions about the billionaire socialite.
âIf what Iâm saying is not correct, then how does she end up with Pete Davidson? And what if you werenât even good enough for Pete and he leaves you. What does that mean the product was?â he said.
âI donât support or villainize Kanyeâ
Despite his harsh opinions about Kanye, Williams made it clear that he doesn’t intend to either âsupport or villainizeâ the Runaway rapper. â..because I donât understand what it is we want from him,â he explained. Williams further addressed Ye’s recent apology following his antisemitic rants.
âI donât know why we look at a basketball player and say, ‘He didnât score no hockey goals this whole season.’ He donât play hockey!â Williams queried. He also called him âthe weird guy in the beginning.â He continued, âThis dude started a church and kept cussing.â
âNobody in Black church said nothing. You would have thought all the pastors would have came [and said], ‘You canât be no gospel artist! You just said, f**k that b**ch!’ Nobody said nothing. Because T.D. Jakes over there with P. Diddy,â Williams added.
