Comedian Katt Williams, who has lately kept a low profile, sat for an exclusive interview with Fat Joe on Joe’sInstagram Live on Friday, April 30.
The duo talked about several misconceptions in the comedy industry, among other issues.
During the interview, Joe opened up to Williams, saying that what makes it hard for him to laugh at the comedian’s jokes is that he’s always busy wondering “what kind of f-cking sh-t he was on to think of some sh-t like that.”
At this point, Williams cuts him off and mocks the misconception that drugs always help in enhancing the creativity of comedians, saying that creativity is not a side effect of drugs but a side effect of brilliance.
“The misconception is that there are drugs that can help you do your job. No there isn’t. There aren’t drugs that help you memorize, to be creative, to come up with something that someone didn’t already say, to figure out the funny thing in something tragic,” he said. “Those are not the side effect of drugs, those are the side effects of brilliance. So if you think there is some state you can be in that can deliver you a higher frame of comedy, there isn’t. It’s the closest connection with the people.”
He said, “I’m only the greatest comedian living because I have more female fans than any comedian on the globe.”
The “First Sunday” actor has been accused multiple times of using drugs, particularly because of his habit of throwing tantrums at fellow actors. He has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying he only used marijuana.
“If I had ever even tried cocaine I wouldn’t have made it to this level. I’m not built that way. I can’t take those types of sidetracks in life. It’s already difficult enough for me sober,” he said during a January 2016 interview with Complex.
Later on, rapper Beanie Sigel came to the comedian’s defense after word spread that he was doing cocaine following an onstage fight at a Philadelphia concert in March 2016.
“F-ck the speculation talk over stupid n-ggas dig this. @kattpackallday is far from any negative accolades you a–holes want to attached to him. His turn up is just different. He don’t need Molly cocaine or any other dumbass drug you stupid ass n* think he on.. Katt got bread!” wrote Sigel.
