This has been a real difficult year for Williams, seeing that this isn’t his first encounter with the law. First Williams had an interesting encounter with a Leslie Pool Supplies employee that turned physical, then in March, he was in a brawl with a local Atlanta 17-year-old that went viral. But that was just 2016. He was recently sued for $1 million back in August for assault and battery against his former female assistant, which happened in 2014. Williams has numerous shows coming up across the country; hopefully his legal troubles won’t stand in the way.

You went on to land numerous movie roles, including a role in Norbit, as well as in First Sunday, where you reunited with Ice Cube (With all due respect, both of those movies sucked, fam). However, it was your talent as a stand-up comedian that began to shine super bright. At a time when stand-up comedy was kind of drying up, you came through and saved the day, giving us all something to laugh at, once again. Although it’s hard to choose, my favorite special of yours has to be It’s Pimpin’, Pimpin’. The part about the tigers never, ever gets old, bro. “This cage right here, nigga?! I wish a muthafucka would!” Classic! My girlfriend, at the time, hated me, because I walked around our apartment all day reciting lines from that special. You had a crazy run as a comedian, man. No one can take that from you. Your brand of comedy was bigger than just jokes and punchlines. You got on that stage and told real-life stories that we could all relate to, while simultaneously making us laugh until we cried. Then you got off the horse. Kind of. You retired, but you didn’t, but you did. I don’t know man. It was weird.

  
Then all Hell broke loose. The whole entire Hell. Broke to a million pieces, bro.

You started catching hella cases, man. Rap sheet ended up longer than songs at Sunday service. Getting caught with guns. Random scuffles with people. Remember when you led police on a low-speed chase with your… three-wheeler? Not to mention you were hanging out with Suge Knight, and well, yeah. We don’t have to say much else about him.

You did well after that though! You kept a pretty low-profile. You stayed out of the way, and seemingly out of trouble.

Until recently.

What the hell are you doing, Katt?! You’re punching store clerks (again), like that’s dope. You didn’t learn from the Target incident? Then you got people coming forward saying you and your goons are robbing them, taking their phones and whatnot. You’re running around the country trying to air out Kevin Hart, as well as threatening to end Chris Rock. Then, for whatever reason, you decide to get rowdy at a Beanie Sigel show and get stomped out. The worst part about this situation is that I will never hear “What We Do” the same again, thanks to you. I’ll always have that image of you squaring up (or dancing) in my head.

  
This most recent incident has to be the last straw though.

I was busy mourning the passing of Phife, a member of the legendary group, A Tribe Called Quest, when I was distracted with more of your antics. A video surfaced of you, not only punching a kid square in the face, but also being choked out by that same kid. I saw the video, you were provoked after trying to do some good in the ‘hood, but still. You can’t just punch kids in the face! You might be built like a kid, but you are not one. You are a grown ass man, who should’ve used his better judgment. But because you didn’t, you’re once again in a legal dilemma.

Look, man. I want you to be great. Hell, as far as comedians go, you already are. You have to chill. This wild road you’re currently on, absolutely has to end now. We get it, Katt. You aren’t soft. You might only be 3 feet tall, but you got the heart of… I don’t know… Somebody big as hell. This shit is bad though. All of these episodes are only going to result in you losing your freedom, or worse, your life. Get yourself together, Katt. Get you some help. I don’t agree with most of what’s been going on or support it, but I’m cheering for you to turn it around, because you’re talented as hell and from Ohio, like me. Fade away, Katt Williams. Fade away and get right.

Katt Williams is back! We’d like to say that he’s back behind the microphone, but since he’s voice-acted and rapped into addition to being a comedian, that would be vague. Specifically, he’s back on stage with Kattpacalypse, a new special appropriate for 2012. Via Certified Funny, the special is due out for release on next Tuesday, September 18th.  With the ever-increasing stress of this year’s elections set to explode within the next few weeks , you will need this funny in your life. Pre-order here.

During last night’s VMAs, a number of artists took center stage to wow the crowd.  The Nokia Theatre was rocking all night with performances by The Throne, Beyoncé, Chris Brown and last but certainly not least, Lil Wayne.  The first performance of the night though had a little added flair.  The only hiccup that the duo had to deal with was a wayward fan who found his way onto the stage during their performance.  First of all, y’all don’t know how relieved I was when I saw it wasn’t Katt Williams.   Nevertheless, did this dude think he was going to get a couple guest bars or something?  It was pretty clear that Kanye and Hov had it locked down, but god bless him for trying.

It’s been a tough 2011 for Katt Williams.  He has spent way too much time acting crazy and starting trouble with other people in the entertainment industry.  In April a run-in with the police kicked off this recent bout of bad behavior.  May came and went, but in June he was back at it again.  Katt was taken to jail after refusing to let an injured worker leave the premises where he was staying in Palmdale, California.  After posting a bail of $50,000, Katt was released to his own devices.  Nevertheless, it didn’t take long for him to make headlines again.  At a show in Albuquerque, New Mexico Katt came on stage, but didn’t seem to remember his shtick.  Less than two weeks after his arrest in California the performer was again turning heads, but for all the wrong reasons.

This leads us to Katt’s latest bout of craziness, a freestyle dissing Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx and Steve Harvey to name a few.  Regardless of whether you feel Katt’s flow or not, this is not where he belongs.  No need to mention that people who do push-ups in public already get an asterisk from me, but the world needs laughter not another dime a dozen emcee who can put together one or two mediocre bars.  Katt may be tired of the comedy circuit, but rapping is not exactly a lateral move for a man who will turn forty in September.

Come on man, we just want the good old Katt that made us laugh.  Hopefully, he’s gotten all his crazy out of his system by now.
