Katt Williams has never been subtle, but his latest interview made one thing especially clear: he’s not backing down from telling uncomfortable truths about Hollywood.
Sitting down with Big Boy TV on Super Bowl Sunday, Williams spoke openly about his approach to comedy, fame, and why he’s willing to say what others won’t. “Let me explain something to you,” he said during the conversation. “I’m not scared to say nothing. I’ll say it.”
That mindset, according to Williams, comes from years of working outside traditional industry systems. He reflected on financing and producing many of his early stand-up specials himself, explaining that he always understood his value.
“I knew my actual worth,” he said, adding that believing in his work made the risk worth it.
Williams also addressed his now-legendary 2024 appearance on Club Shay Shay, which reignited conversations about celebrity behavior and power structures. He revealed that the moment was carefully planned, designed to provoke a reaction without fully detonating careers.
“The knockout punches were taken out,” he said, describing his comments as intentional “jabs” meant to force accountability without total destruction.
Throughout the interview, Williams repeatedly returned to the idea of control—over his voice, his presence, and his silence. He described intentionally “appearing and disappearing,” not as avoidance, but as preparation.
“I’m disappearing to do the behind-the-scenes work,” he explained.
That philosophy carries into his latest project, Katt Williams: The Last Report, which arrives on Netflix on February 10. The hour-long special continues his streak of unfiltered commentary, following 2024’s Woke Foke, 2022’s World War III, and 2018’s Great America.
Directed by Troy Miller, the new release draws partly from Williams’ life away from Hollywood, including his experience living on a farm he purchased several years ago.
In addition to the special, Williams is currently performing nationwide on The Golden Age Tour, which kicked off in January.
Even after decades in comedy, he insists the conversation isn’t over. “Every time they see me,” he said, “I’m just picking up where we left off.”
