Cedric The Entertainer Respectfully Denies Stealing A Joke From Katt Williams
Throughout the history of comedy, from tales of many comedians over the years, the stealing of jokes is almost commonplace but, to a point that it is sometimes expected on some level. Two of the most reverent Black comedians of current times are having a disagreement about a joke that, according to one of them, was written over 30 years ago.
Micah Sierra “Katt” Williams has accused Cedric Antonio Kyles, who is known as Cedric the Entertainer, of stealing a joke from him and he has responded via his Instagram account.
“Katt Attack
“To all my peoples hitting me about the @kattwilliams commentary, I say no sir !! That joke has roots, tied into so many other of my jokes… To know me is know most of my jokes a very similar animated, characters acted out sense of humor. I’ve had jokes stolen, I’ve had similar premises to others as well, but that joke has DNA thats over 30 yrs old specifically from Me. Cigarette hanging from the lip and all.”
According to The Source, during a recent interview with The Morning Hustle Radio Show, Williams had stated that Cedric The Entertainer had stolen a space shuttle joke and made it his closing joke for “The Kings of Comedy” tour that he had done with Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, and D.L. Hughley.
“When it initially happened to me, it crushed me because the comedian was already bigger and more famous than me and he took my closing joke and made it his closing joke on Kings of Comedy,” Katt stated. “The reason it hit so bad was that I was in the theater. I paid my money to go see Kings of Comedy and to see my joke being there and not me was about as disrespectful as it gets in our craft and I took it really personally with Cedric The Entertainer at that time.”
