It seems Kevin Hart may have just been within firing range when Katt Williams took shots at athletes-turned-comedians. When TMZ asked Williams in 2014 what he thought about Shaquille O’Neal trying his hand at comedy, he replied, “I think that Shaq and Russell Simmons should get out of comedy and stay in their lane. They don’t see us making a league of professional basketball players under six foot, so what qualifies these dudes ’cause they got a $100 million to come over in comedy?” He continued, “Get out of here ya bum before I take the rest of your girls, like you took Kevin Hart from me. I want my b**** back.”
Williams didn’t stop there. Two years later he slammed Hart during his comedy show, calling the “Night School” actor a “puppet” (via Vibe).”I don’t care nothin’ ’bout that happens to Kevin [Hart], I just wish him the best. I just know that that’s somebody’s hand is stuck up that baby, you understand? Oh, we’re a puppet show, boo boo. Please believe it,” Williams told the audience. Over the years, he continued to challenge Hart publicly, but it wasn’t until Williams blasted Tiffany Haddish that the “Fatherhood” star finally clapped back.
