Katt Williams Talks Being Compared To Kendrick Lamar
Katt Williams Responds to Kendrick Lamar Comparisons: “I’m on the Righteous Side”
Katt Williams has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind—and during a recent appearance on Carmelo Anthony’s podcast, the comedian addressed recent comparisons to Kendrick Lamar with his usual blend of honesty and conviction.
Williams made it clear that he stands by what he says, but also emphasized the importance of accuracy and accountability. “If I make a mistake, work with me,” he said. “I’m on the righteous side.”
The conversation came as Kendrick Lamar continues to dominate headlines with his “Not Like Us” tour performances. One standout moment came in Toronto, where Kendrick’s live performance of the diss track prompted fans to chant for an encore, solidifying its place as one of the defining moments of the year in hip hop.
Williams took a moment to praise Lamar—not just for the lyrical content, but for the thoughtful execution of his shows. He highlighted the Toronto tour stops as a perfect example of Lamar’s artistry, stage presence, and business savvy, calling them a reflection of a performer who knows both his power and his purpose.
The comedian’s comments echoed a larger message about respect, growth, and understanding in the public eye, especially when people are unafraid to speak truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
“I say what I mean,” Williams noted, “and I take responsibility for it. That doesn’t make me perfect—it just makes me real.”
