Katt Williams recently opened up about his controversial comments on Diddy during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. Speaking with GQ, the standup comedy legend shared that his remarks stemmed from his deep admiration for Tupac Shakur and lingering suspicions surrounding the late rapper’s tragic death in 1996.
During the podcast, Katt Williams refrained from directly naming Diddy but alluded to him while discussing significant multimillion-dollar deals he claims to have declined. In his GQ interview, Williams shed more light on his motivations, citing his love for Tupac and a sense of unresolved justice.

Although Diddy has never been officially implicated in Tupac’s murder, his name frequently surfaces in conversations surrounding the unsolved case. This renewed interest follows the 2023 arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who has been charged in connection to the 1996 Las Vegas shooting that claimed Tupac’s life.
Williams didn’t hold back in describing his spiritual perspective on the matter, adding, “It’s cold spiritual warfare going on out here in the real world. And part of my job is to not lose focus on that. Demons are powerful, but I know why they’re powerful.”
In his podcast interview with Sharpe, Katt Williams made pointed remarks about Diddy while discussing his decision to decline certain industry opportunities. “P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you got to tell him no,” he said. “I did. See, I got the receipts for everything I’m telling you, that’s why I can say them so freely.”
The interview, which also touched on notable figures like Kevin Hart, Ludacris, Cedric the Entertainer, and Rickey Smiley, garnered widespread attention for its bold assertions.
Meanwhile, Diddy remains in custody in New York, facing charges of trafficking and racketeering. He has pled not guilty, with his legal team arguing that the case is “unjust.” As his trial approaches in May, the case continues to unfold amidst heated public discourse.
