Katt Williams Talks Being Compared To Kendrick Lamar

Katt Williams recently addressed being compared to Kendrick Lamar.

During an appearance on Carmelo Anthony’s 7 PM In Brooklyn podcast, the legendary comedian shares his thoughts on the similarities with the iconic MC.

“That’s why I said I’m not somebody you want to have beef with. It’s bad optics. I’m on the righteous side, and if I make a mistake, work with me. But other than that, you have no reason to be, because we all are just understanding what Kendrick has to be to even be doing the show there,” Williams said, referring to Lamar’s concerts in Drake’s hometown of Toronto.

“We’re not talking about Drake doing his show in LA. We are not talking about him in the Bay. We’re not talking about that. But we are talking about Kendrick going there and doing his body of work. That’s what it means to stand on them 10. It means standing on that business. I said what I said over here, and I’ll be saying it over there as well,” he continued. 

“And that’s what’s so critical about me, trying to make sure that I say it as viciously as I mean to say it, to say it as accurately as I can say it. This is part of keeping that energy, so you’ve got to respect it.”

During Lamar’s hugely successful “Grand National Tour” with SZA, Lamar performed multiple nights at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. His performance of “Not Like Us” caused the fans in the arena to chant for an encore.
