Comedian Katt Williams is here for “the age of truth” he may have instigated.

The funnyman recently shared his thoughts on his now-viral conversation with sports star Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay earlier this year, and how a random comment about Sean “Diddy” Combs opened the public’s eyes to the rapper’s darker side.

Katt Williams’ Comment About Diddy’s Parties On 'Club Shay Shay' Unintentionally Opened The Floodgates

Williams’ appearance on Club Shay Shay, Sharpe’s podcast, at the start of the year saw the Friday After Next star speaking candidly about his alleged experiences in Hollywood.

As noted here on The Blast, Sharpe initially brought up fellow comedian Dave Chappelle walking away from his $50 million Chappelle’s Show contract in the early 2000s. In response, Williams said he had also been promised millions of dollars from Hollywood bigwigs multiple times but turned them down due to what he might have to give up in order to gain that kind of money.

“I've had to turn down $50 million four times, just to protect my integrity and that virgin hole I was telling you about,” Williams relayed to a shocked Sharpe.

He then added, "Cause P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you got to tell him no. You got to tell him no! I did. See, I got the receipts for everything I'm telling you, that's why I can say them so freely."

Later in the conversation, Katt made an ominous warning for mainstream figures who leveraged their celebrity to get away with crude and illegal acts.

“All of these big d-ck deviants is all catching hell in 2024,” he told Sharpe. “It’s up for all of them, all lies will be exposed.”

Katt Williams’ Mention Of Diddy During 'Club Shay Shay' Was Minor But Intentional

Speaking with GQ for their Man of the Year issue, the 53-year-old Williams was asked how Diddy stoked his ire enough to be brought up during his Club Shay Shay appearance.

According to Katt, it was his way of honoring the late Tupac Shakur.

“I loved Tupac. And I felt like we were kindred spirits,” the comedian explained. “So, if I hear you responsible for knocking my n-gga off, I don’t give a f-ck what job I end up being in, I don’t care how things go, if I can get a way to get you, that’s what I’m all about. I just don’t like you walking around scot-free.”

GQ noted that Williams may have been speaking on oft-repeated claims of the former Bad Boy head having a hand in Shakur’s 1996’s death.

While that has never been confirmed officially or otherwise, reports from back in July alleged that Combs had been mentioned an accomplice in the murder by Duane “Keefe D” Davis.

As PEOPLE reports, Davis is currently behind bars after being charged with Shakur’s murder. He has since pleaded not guilty.

Katt Williams Says 2024 Isn’t A ‘Year Of Truth’ – It’s The Start Of ‘The Age Of Truth’

Williams, a firm believer of the Illuminati (though not involved with it), has long been treated as a messenger of sorts.

By his word, it all goes back to his childhood, when at 5 years old, he would address large congregations of Jehovah’s Witness followers.

“I didn’t ask God to let me be in charge of no sh-t,” he says, speaking of the title thrust upon him. “I didn’t ask him to let me run nothing. I just asked him to let me know things around the corner, before others, so that I could be the person to tell my people.”

Perhaps this is why he doesn’t feel that 2024 is simply a “year of truth.” It’s bigger than that.

“It’s the age of truth,” Williams noted. “It’s not that people [haven’t] been wanting the truth. It’s that, for the first time ever, whoever them mother-ckers are that would be involved in the Illuminati, and the shadow government, and all of that sh-t that really exists, that really runs the world, all of them is 80 to 100 right now.”

He continued, “The viciousness to keep these secrets at bay, and the ability to keep you from knowing shit, right now, doesn’t really apply."

Katt Williams’ Choice Of Using 'Club Shay Shay' As A Platform Was Intentional

When it comes to why Williams selected Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay as the space where he would tell all, the comedian offers that he did so to help their shared Black audience work out if the former football player was “by the people” or “for the people.”

“People aren’t sure if Shannon been bought and paid for,” Katt expressed. “Is he in the pocket, ’cause these n-ggas paying him, or is he really just a regular? There [are] so many questions [about Sharpe] that it gives me the opportunity to allow this Black man to show his true colors, while I show mine.”

As for Sharpe, he still remains incredulous to just how popular his conversation with Katt was (as of this writing, it sits at 83 million views).

“I never in a million years thought that everything that transpired would happen,” Sharpe shared with GQ, adding that he wasn’t personally close to Williams prior to the sit-down (the two talk often now).

“If you notice, after I introduce him and we taste my cognac, I’m about to go into my questions [and] he takes off,” he continued. “As the interviewer, I have to make a split-second decision. Do I cut him off and go where I originally wanted to go, or do I let him go? And in that split second, I let him go.”

Though seemingly brimming with knowledge of the ins and outs of Hollywood – and the world – Williams humbly suggests that the truth he’s picked up is accessible to everyone, if we’re willing to spend some money to seek it out.

“You could really find out whatever the f-ck you needed to find out right now,” Williams shared. “If you had some money, and you gave a sh-t about finding out sh-t, you could be one of the most powerful men in America. Because all of it exists, and it’s all real.”
