Katt Williams Slams Cedric The Entertainer For Stolen Joke: ‘You’re Gonna Be Missing A Tooth Or Two’
While the golden rule in comedy is to never steal jokes, it seemingly appears that legendary comedian Cedric The Entertainer might’ve committed a cardinal sin as fellow comedy legend Katt Williams slams him over a stolen joke of his.
While speaking with The Morning Hustle radio show on Tuesday (June 8), Katt revealed Cedric stole one of his bits and used it to close one of his sets on the iconic ‘Kings of Comedy‘ tour. Williams explains, “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. 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.”

Katt continues, “You either have to write your own jokes or you’re telling a variation of my joke whether you acknowledge it or not. So, I care less. it’s a little saddening.” When asked if he spoke to Cedric about the incident, Katt says, “I’m not that type of comedian. I’m going in your mouth where the joke is when you steal my jokes, and I have a reputation in this industry that if you steal my joke, you’re gonna be missing a tooth or two.. I don’t play like that.”
