Katt Williams Regrets Joking About Michael Jackson
Katt Williams wishes he would never have joked about Michael Jackson on stage. According to Williams, his comedy routine bout the “King of Pop” helped to perpetuate stereotypes against Black men.
Speaking in an interview at the Vulture festival, Williams admitted that he was way too forceful with his approach.
“I shouldn’t have, honestly,” Williams said.
“Some of these things are the reason that the enemy decides to go ahead and let you be famous,” Williams said. “It’s your ability to tear down your own kind no matter how high they are. On the other hand, my job is to be funny first and to voice the opinion of a group that doesn’t get to have their opinion out there, right? So as a Black man, if you don’t love yourself, you don’t love me.”
“Those were the jokes of a guy that was hurt, you know?” Williams added. “By an icon.”
Williams also shared that he was stunned when he met Janet Jackson, Jackson’s sister. She said he was gracious to him in their encounter.
“The fact that years later, Janet Jackson said she still loved me despite the jokes that I told about her brother is probably one of the most magnificent things, you know? Just because I say a lot of hilarious sh*t. But it costs me every time, you know? Like, I’m never unscathed in these situations,” Williams said.
While Williams may have regretted joking king about Jackson, he has no apologies for airing out his targets this year. During his legendary sit-down with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, Williams took aim at some of his comedy colleagues such as Kevin Hart and Steve Harvey. He also foreshadowed the current legal issues of Diddy.
