The ongoing feud between comedians Steve Harvey and Katt Williams continues to escalate, drawing significant attention from fans and media alike. What initially started as subtle jabs has transformed into a public clash, with each party taking shots at the other in various platforms.
Most recently, Steve Harvey has threatened to knock out Katt Williams, intensifying the feud, while Katt remains unfazed and continues to throw shade back at Steve.
The animosity between the two comedians first gained traction when Katt Williams appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast. In his appearance, Katt didn’t hold back, calling Steve Harvey a fraud and accusing him of being a puppet for industry higher-ups.
According to Katt, Steve’s public persona, including his claims of being homeless and his subsequent rise to success, was nothing more than a fabricated story. Katt also criticized Steve for ditching his first wife for Marjorie Harvey, which Katt implied was part of a shady industry deal involving powerful forces behind the scenes.
Despite Katt’s incendiary remarks, Steve initially chose to take the high road, refusing to address the accusations head-on. In fact, he remained silent for a considerable period after the interview aired. However, it became evident that Katt’s comments had struck a nerve with Steve, who eventually began responding in more subtle ways. In a pre-recorded episode of “The Steve Harvey Morning Show,” Steve hinted that Katt was lying, advising his audience to be cautious when listening to people who can “sprinkle in just enough truth” to deceive others. Yet, despite these comments, Steve never directly addressed or denied the specific allegations Katt made on the podcast.
Fast forward nearly a year after Katt’s explosive interview, and Steve’s frustrations seem to have boiled over. At his Golf Classic event, Steve threw more shade at Katt, calling him irrelevant and threatening to destroy him. Still, Steve avoided confronting the claims about his career, his past, and his alleged involvement in sabotaging other comedians, including Bernie Mac. This reluctance to face Katt’s accusations directly has only fueled speculation among fans, with many wondering why Steve continues to avoid denying the claims head-on.
In addition to these verbal jabs, Steve recently hinted at his physical prowess during an appearance at Invest Fest in Atlanta. While discussing how he deals with critics, Steve implied that he could still hold his own in a fight, adding that he has the moves to take down his haters—comments many interpreted as aimed at Katt Williams. Steve, while playful in his tone, made it clear that he wasn’t afraid to get physical if it came to that.
Naturally, Katt Williams wasn’t going to let Steve’s threats slide without a response. Shortly after the video of Steve boasting about his fighting skills went viral, Katt took to Instagram to throw shade back at Steve. Katt’s reaction was more humorous and dismissive than combative, suggesting that he didn’t take Steve’s words too seriously.
As this feud drags on, it seems that neither party is willing to back down. What began as a disagreement between two veteran comedians has now turned into a full-fledged beef, with both sides exchanging blows in the public eye. Whether this will eventually lead to a resolution or further escalate remains to be seen, but for now, fans are left to watch the drama unfold.
