Lil Boosie & Katt Williams Call Out Steve Harvey LIVE After Threats

The world of comedy is no stranger to drama, and the latest feud brewing backstage has the industry buzzing. In this unfolding saga, Katt Williams has ignited controversy by making explosive accusations against Steve Harvey. As Harvey attempts to keep his cool, rapper Lil Boosie steps in to support Williams, and even Bernie Mac’s daughter gets involved.

The Origins of the Feud

The tensions between Harvey and Williams have roots in a decades-old rivalry. It all dates back to the legendary Kings of Comedy tour, which featured Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, and D.L. Hughley. While the tour was a massive success onstage, behind the scenes, the dynamics were far less harmonious—especially between Harvey and Mac.

Now, Katt Williams is reopening old wounds, alleging that Harvey was envious of Bernie Mac and actively tried to undermine him. According to Williams, Harvey not only attempted to sabotage Mac’s career but also played a role in blocking his opportunities in Hollywood. Harvey, however, has denied these allegations, claiming Bernie Mac personally assured him before his passing that there was no bad blood between them.

Katt Williams’ Explosive Accusations

Earlier this year, Katt Williams set the internet ablaze with a bombshell interview on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe. During the interview, Williams called out several big names in comedy, including Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish, but reserved his harshest words for Steve Harvey.

Williams alleged that Harvey stopped performing stand-up comedy after losing a supposed comedy battle against him. He also accused Harvey of being jealous of Bernie Mac’s success and even trying to take roles meant for him, including Mac’s role in Ocean’s Eleven.

As clips of the interview spread like wildfire online, Harvey initially refrained from responding. However, as the controversy gained momentum, he seemingly addressed the accusations with a cryptic tweet: “You don’t have to address your haters.” Shortly after, he released a video message, stating:

“I got somebody really attacking me right now. I mean really going after me, man. I’m just waiting to see what God’s going to do.”

Though Harvey never mentioned Williams by name, it was clear he was referring to the comedian’s viral rant.

Lil Boosie Joins the Fray

Rapper Lil Boosie has now thrown his support behind Katt Williams, taking to social media to defend his friend and co-signing Williams’ claims against Harvey. Boosie, known for his unfiltered opinions, didn’t hold back, stating that Williams was simply exposing the truth.

With Harvey firing back subtly and Boosie rallying behind Williams, the feud is far from over. The ongoing battle between these comedy heavyweights is shaping up to be one of the most intense conflicts in entertainment this year.

The History of the Kings of Comedy Conflict

The Kings of Comedy tour, launched in the late 1990s by producer Walter Latham, was originally intended to be a Def Comedy Jam reunion. However, after difficulties assembling the original lineup, Latham turned to a new group of comedians, bringing together Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac, and D.L. Hughley.

The tour was a phenomenal success, grossing $37 million and spawning a hit film. However, tensions simmered between Harvey and Mac. After the tour ended in 1999, rumors swirled that a planned reunion fell apart due to lingering animosity between the two.

In a 2018 interview, D.L. Hughley acknowledged the rivalry, explaining:

“At one point, Steve was uber-successful, and then Bernie started to blow up. He didn’t think he’d ever get that opportunity, but once he did, America loved him.”

Cedric the Entertainer echoed similar sentiments, admitting that while both men were “alpha males,” they ultimately managed to coexist.

Bernie Mac’s Alleged Claims Against Steve Harvey

In a controversial 2003 GQ Magazine interview, Bernie Mac reportedly accused Steve Harvey of being jealous and attempting to sabotage his career. According to Mac, Harvey tried to convince Hollywood producers that he would be a better fit for roles that Mac had been offered.

Years later, comedian Damon Williams, who opened for the Kings of Comedy tour, confirmed that Mac had spoken about the issue. On the Comedy Hype channel, Damon stated:

“Bernie said in the GQ article that when he got Ocean’s Eleven, Steve reached out to the producers and tried to take his part.”

However, Harvey has denied these claims, saying that he personally confronted Mac about the interview, and Mac assured him he never made those statements. On BET’s Conversations with Ed Gordon, Harvey recalled:

“I was upset at first because it wasn’t true. Me and Bernie had a lot of good times together. Then this GQ article came out with all this vicious stuff. Bernie told me he never said it, and I took him at his word.”

Katt Williams’ Final Word

Despite Harvey’s denials, Katt Williams remains adamant that Harvey actively tried to undermine Bernie Mac. In his Club Shay Shay interview, Williams accused Harvey of resenting Mac’s success, stating:

“You think I’m gonna let you [mess] on Bernie and then come get me? I know the truth. Bernie was funnier than all y’all.”

Williams also claimed he was offered a spot as the “fourth King” in a revamped Kings of Comedy lineup but turned it down because of Harvey’s alleged mistreatment of Mac.

What’s Next?

With accusations flying and celebrities taking sides, this feud shows no signs of cooling down. Whether Steve Harvey will issue a direct response to Katt Williams or let his cryptic messages speak for themselves remains to be seen. One thing is for sure: the battle between these comedy legends is far from over, and fans will be watching closely to see what happens next.
