Mark Twain once remarked that comedy is tragedy plus time. In the case of Diddy’s current legal troubles, it seems the comedy might have come first. Katt Williams, known for his outspoken nature, has long been vocal about the troubling behavior surrounding Diddy.
Shocking allegations against Diddy suggest that his controversial escapades could be more than just folklore or bad jokes. Fans have noted that Williams has been trying to raise awareness about Diddy’s actions for quite some time.
So, what did Katt Williams exactly say about Diddy?
Katt Williams recently sparked significant conversation on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast, Club Shay Shay, when he discussed Diddy’s notorious parties, often referred to as "freak-offs." In a nearly three-hour episode, the 52-year-old veteran comedian covered everything from his family and career to legal issues and even the presidential election.
After the recent federal raids on Diddy’s homes, Williams’ comments gained considerable attention on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter).
He joked about needing to protect himself around Diddy, saying, “I’ve had to turn down $50 million four times. I gotta protect my integrity and that virgin hole I was telling you about because P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you gotta tell him no. I did. See, I got the receipts for everything I’m telling; that’s why I can say them so freely.”
Williams also seemed to predict trouble for Diddy, stating, “All of these big d*** deviants are catching hell in 2024. It’s up for all of them. It doesn’t matter if you’re Diddy or whoever. All lies will be exposed. In 30 years, I’ve done nothing but collect information, knowledge, and your secrets. I know so many things I shouldn’t know, and they all know it.”
What has been going on with Diddy?
Naturally, his comments went viral on X, and it wasn’t long before Williams was trending as people shared his insights. In March 2024, federal and local authorities raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami, and it looks like Katt’s joke had some truth to it.
Disturbing hotel surveillance footage of Diddy physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend and R&B star Cassie emerged a few months earlier, following a court settlement in which she accused him of rape and physical abuse in November 2023. The headlines surrounding Diddy continued to worsen from there.
He faced arrest after a grand jury indictment connected to a sexual trafficking investigation led by the Southern District of New York. He was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.When the news broke, Katt Williams took to his Instagram Story to share a video about Diddy’s recent arrest on sex crime charges.
“Diddy about to snitch on everybody,” read the caption on the video reposted by Katt. The video was an AI-generated clip inspired by the 1991 film New Jack City. In this edited version, Diddy’s face replaces Wesley Snipes’ in the iconic courtroom scene where Snipes’ character, Nino Brown, identifies one of his associates as the true gang leader.
The Revolt founder pleaded not guilty and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, even while facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits in 2024.
