Kevin Hart and Michael Blackson respond to Katt Williams following scathing interview
On Wednesday (Jan. 3), Katt Williams set the internet on fire during his appearance on “Club Shay Shay,” where he made scathing comments about several of his comedic peers. As one of those on the receiving end, Michael Blackson quickly took to Twitter to share his reaction to the vitriol.
“Katt Williams is a very smart m**get n**ga. He took shots at the top 10 comedians alive today so we can all respond and make him relevant again,” said the Ghanaian-American talent before addressing one of Williams’ critiques about his charitable efforts. “I can’t believe this lying, dehydrated leprechaun said he told me to build a school (laughs). I only built a free school so the kids can whip your a** for free, modasucka.”
Blackson then credited Williams as one of the best comedians of all time before providing perspective on his accent — another issue raised by his Friday After Next counterpart. “I’m so confused, I’m African with a fake African accent. My accent had me roasted every day in school and in the comedy clubs in America, and I wish I could get rid of it,” he continued. “Even my Philly accent is fake. I guess the only thing real about me is my d**k.”
This morning (Jan. 4), Kevin Hart decided to jump in the conversation while using the opportunity to promote his upcoming film. “Gotta get that anger up [out you], champ… It’s honestly sad,” the Philly star tweeted. “In the meantime, please enjoy MY MOVIE TRAILER to my next film, Lift, which will be dropping on Netflix in eight days! There is a moment in the trailer where [Gugu Mbatha-Raw] says, ‘They really love you.’ I now know she’s talking about Katt (laughs).”
Check out the aforementioned responses from Hart and Blackson below.

African comedian Michael Blackson (left) sparked outrage on social media when he posted an inappropriate question that suggested Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. cheated on his wife, the late Coretta Scott King.
Blackson, who is from Ghana, tweeted:
“I don’t mean to start no sheet but I heard that Martin Luther King had a white side chick. Is it true. I’m just a beechn***a from a little village so please let me know [sic].”
He added:
“I guess the best way to get even with the white man was to F a white woman. My neega MLK [sic].”
The public backlash was fierce. Among the outraged social media users was fellow comedian Katt Williams who referred to Blackson’s inquiry as a “coon question.”
Blackson’s insult comes on the heels of Rihanna‘s disrespectful Twitter banner that depicts Dr. King wearing a gold grill.
Blackson, 49, is best known for his roles in the comedy films Are We There Yet? and Next Friday.
