Yes, he does have to make a living, but right now, he’s on a destructive path. Katt’s management company is doing him a disservice if they don’t end the tour and get him to the nearest available facility. The former Death Row Records CEO, known for his intimidating style and violent past, is not someone Williams needs around him on a regular basis. That guy is not exactly a great influence. Let’s not put aside the fact that Suge Knight has been managing Williams on tour. This man is out here practically begging for someone to come to his aide. It’s not time to laugh at or with Katt Williams. At one point, Dynamite interjects and booms “Shut the up when grown mens is crying!”Īnd while Pryor’s issues were their own monster, I think the point remains.
All anyone does is laugh, no matter what he may say. In the episode, a fictionalized version of comic genius Richard Pryor complains that no one takes him seriously. And it reminds me of an episode of the television cartoon show Black Dynamite. He was smart enough to leave the country before he potentially unraveled.īut Williams is unraveling now, right before our eyes. When Dave Chappelle walked away from his Comedy Central show and spent time in South Africa, people sat back and laughed at him. It’s too easy to laugh when a comedian is in a psychological space that most of us are not familiar with. I hope Williams can find a way to deal with his issues, because with his penchant for violence, I fear the consequences of actions. But his latest antics have seen art imitating life a bit too closely. His stage persona of drug use, sexual proclivities and racial observation has come to define who most people think he is. Williams’s act has always revolved around pimping. Whoever really got love for Katt that’s around him, y’all need to take him to get some help.” I really want to see him get some help before it goes too far. “Somebody needs to really sit him down and get him some help,” Snoop said. Snoop Lion, when approached by TMZ had some pretty clear words for Williams. And as a father of eight, for the sake of his family, I hope he can find it somewhere. I never really did, mainly because his whole approach was too vulgar for my taste, but I definitely can’t now. Indeed, almost every famous funnyman has found himself in period of personal public decline.īut I can’t laugh at his jokes anymore. Making a living on stage, in front of the world, means constantly being in the spotlight. The life of a stand-up comedian is not easy.
He now just wants to move forward from those unfortunate events and give his fans outstanding shows from this point forward.” He had a moment where he felt very unappreciated. His management team told TMZ that “the reason why he made remarks was due to him feeling totally disrespected by all the things that happen to him in the city of Seattle. His management promptly reversed that decision four days later, insisting that his current tour was still very much on. I was going to go to Los Angeles, and do it in the offices of ICM or Live Nation.” I wasn’t really going to do it on a Seattle street.
I’m kind of done,” Williams said, rocking a Kurt Cobain t-shirt and snowboard goggles. “I’m just going to go ahead and announce my retirement from stand-up.
He told Seattle television station last week that his life as a comic, was over. Comedian Katt Williams performs the BET Comedy Awardsin 2005.
