Michael Blackson Fires Back After Katt Williams Calls Him “An African With A Fake African Accent”
During his recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay, Katt Williams didn’t dilute his opinion in the slightest when it came to several comedians—Michael Blackson included.
After being asked about getting booed onstage, Williams admitted that he’s gotten that humbling reaction before and “it should be used as a learning experience.” He told Sharpe, “Most comedians don’t get booed enough. That’s how you end up with Michael Blackson, who is a real African, doin a fake African accent.”
Blackson took to Twitter in response to Williams’ statement. The Ghanaian-Liberian actor wrote, “I’m so confused, I’m African with a fake African accent. My accent had me roasted every day in school and in the comedy clubs in America and I wish I could get rid of it, even my Philly accent is fake. I guess the only thing real about me is my deek.”
He, then, called the First Sunday star, one of the “top 5 [comedians] alive but we all have to agree he’s not the Katt of 2005.” Blackson listed himself at No. 10 on his list of the top 10 comedians alive.
On the podcast, Williams later added, “This guy is mad at me and all I did was give him the best advice of his life […] I told him he needed to dress to be in the position that he’s tryna say that he’s in. If you gon’ say that [you’re the ‘African King of Comedy’], go get a school. You gotta put in some work and these guys, they take my advice. They change their whole persona and then, they hate me for it.”
In regards to that comment, Blackson expressed, “I can’t believe this lying dehydrated leprechaun said he told me to build a school lmao. I only built a free school so the kids can whip your a** for free Modasucka.” His school, the Michael Blackson Academy, opened last January.
The 51-year-old also felt Williams “is a very smart midget neega, [who] took shots at the top 10 comedians alive today so we can all respond and make him relevant again.”
Other comedians who got caught in Williams’ crossfire were Cedric The Entertainer, Steve Harvey, Rickey Smiley, and Chris Tucker. Watch the full episode below.
