Katt Williams speech at Melba Moore's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ceremony

[@R1D9M8B4]

This is how our community should be supporting each other. Thank you Katt.

[@AS-eq2qm]

Make your actions inspire others

[@BigP.Energy]

Definitely but egos are too big for it to ever happen in a mass setting

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

We always have but that's the narrative that some you all unwittingly fail to convey. Thanks being part of the problem & not the solution. I forgot to say what an Awesome backhanded compliment🙄 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nyyasharp6404]

Facts! 💯✊🏾🖤🤎

[@tanktaylor1222]

👏🏾💐VeRy well said! 💐👏🏾

[@TheWorldWatches]

We should also salute Katt because he was Melba's sole sponsor. Meaning this very special moment in honoring this very deserving special lady may have NOT taken place had it not been for Katt. We should celebrate both these two wonderful amazing people.

[@debireginabroughton9982]

Well said... thank you SHUUG !

[@TheJoaniejoancansew]

Well said!!

[@TheWorldWatches]

@@debireginabroughton9982Would you say that if you found out I'm a white guy?

[@deborahday1786]

That is wonderful. So proud of Katt.

[@MrVayolence]

I have nothing but Respect for Katt Williams..

[@kathyo5971]

And so do I. A fantastic human being! Incredibly articulate.

[@mindlessgurl8]

Period 💯

[@DmDrae]

Katt financed this whole thing. What a legend.

[@christinewilliams4846]

BLACK SELF -RESPECT 💞💞💥💞💞💞💥

[@DmDrae]

@@christinewilliams4846 it’s a shame we have to care, but since that’s the world we seem to live in, you’re right 🙏

[@Certified1025]

This what call compassion and being great human being

[@gaylefranklin]

Why do I know that Katt paid for this?

[@georgeg5]

This is how you honor your elders who paved the way and give them their due credit. Melba Moore was a shining example of how to be an artist who never compromised her beliefs over notoriety, and for Katt to recognize that and honor her is truly wonderful and inspiring.

[@jmilli0479]

Katt has so much admiralty to those who stay truly humble and never compromise their Integrity.

[@bossbusiness8137]

Thank you Katt William for that and for being there for this woman and paying for her walk of fame star also

[@ThePrinceOfTheTalkbox]

thats what folks dont menttion about him

[@dianajohnson4364]

This was a beautiful tribute Katt. Melba is legendary

[@purpleness64]

He's a real one for that!!!!

[@sandragibson2221]

Katt Williams is awesome. Terrific speech.

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

Here after the interview. Thank you Katt Williams.

[@TheNanamariam]

She deserves so much. And knowing that Katt Williams made it possible for her just brings so much joy into my heart. She deserved this.

[@keshacovington3297]

The Shay Shay interview brought me here 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@bmaccs2253]

Me too

[@ntobekonovukuza804]

That got me emotional, Katt is an angel in human form, he has done so many things for people, especially black people including adopting 7 kids on top of his 3 if I'm not mistaken to raise by himself as a single father, That takes a special kind of a guy.

[@weeshirley5934]

Amazing 🥰

[@theronedawson3236]

Katt Williams, thank you for sponsoring the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Ms Melba Moore.

[@HskHeroReborn]

Katt Williams really is that guy

[@ebbythoms2014]

Great speech Kat. He researched and spoke truthfully and beautifully about her.

[@loveinthematrix]

It’s not just about shaming the people who are acting wrong - it’s about celebrating the people with integrity to show people who is leading the way. Respect 🌟

[@leongardner710]

Miss. Moore is in a league of her very own. She's the real Mccoy!!

[@clayonwood5538]

How didn’t that speech go viral? Thanks to Katt Miss Melba Moor got the recognition from the entertainment industry she deserves. Don’t forget Hollywood didn’t want to give her her flowers until she transcended but thanks to Katt Williams she is there to receive it in person ♥️☮️

[@bringthepayne7561]

A real BLACK MAN uplifting a real BLACK WOMAN.See in THIS world there's ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY NOR RECOGNITION in Love and Compassion now.And its achingly missed as much as its sad....

[@teresa978]

Ms. Melba is so deserving

[@DrShivaBillions372]

We are praying for Katt to be protected from all enemies.......

[@bringthepayne7561]

EVERY.LAST.ONE.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Soulful_Journey99]

As a former NYer who worked near the Times Square area, I use to see Melba Moore walking the streets w/ her "Bag" as a Homeless Woman! It broke my heart; I even remember speaking w/ her briefly and giving her a Hug; she is so Gracious. Her story needs to be told on FILM and Executively Directed by Katt Williams!💔❤‍🩹♥

[@TheLovely990]

Katt Williams is a blessing to us all! Congratulations to Melba Moore❤❤

[@AndrewMiller-id8ub]

Such a moving tribute by Katt! Nothing but love for Melb Moore! ❤❤❤

[@Whatusay.89]

Stand up guy! Leading by example. Thank you Katt Williams 😍

[@sharondavis3535]

We now know that Mr. Williams advocated for Mrs. Moore when he was offered another award. I remember Mrs. Melba Moore from the 60s in Purlie Victorious. He has a humble spirit who actually loves BW. She still looks fantastic (deep bow). I hope her music charts again to new generations of listeners.

[@DJBenito304]

💯🙏🏽🎧

[@happygecko2]

Great speech. Why we didn’t know you were such a stand up guy until 2024? We’re for you Katt. And congratulations Ms Moore

[@demetracastille8856]

Because certain people and media want us to believe their lies and negativity!

[@aarondigby5054]

​@@demetracastille8856IKR, look how they just canceled the stars of Amos n Andy, canceled them like yesterday's garbage.

[@jamaalbrown5082]

Katt is one of the realest to do it. Pay it forward is the message.

[@AS-eq2qm]

Yep he is making his actions inspire others

[@seasalt3]

Melda Moore is a legend! Well deserved!❤

[@mr.e7084]

With all of the black talented artist of the 60s-80s why do we have so few acknowledged for their contributions at award shows. Melba well deserved 🌹👏🏾 Katt Williams great respect✊🏾👏🏾

[@BLACKWomeninMUSICFestival]

🌹

[@aarondigby5054]

Look how they did the impeccable stars of Amos n Andy: Tim, Moore, Spencer Williams, Ernestine Wade, Amanda Randolph, Nick Odemus etc,...

[@faithenichols6947]

Katt Williams truly honored Melba Moore. She's in a class all by herself and so is he.

[@jefferylakes388]

Salute to Katt Williams for spearheading this long overdue honor! There’s something great to be said about this selfless act!

[@TamFam-o3n]

Katt is a 💎. He's so eloquent with his speech and I'm sure Melba felt deeply honored.

[@ladygodiva32man]

[@shannondbrown1552]

Nobody better not ever say nothing bad about Katt Williams, in my best Kim Wayans voice form In Living Color. He doesn’t have to show you all the good he does for people, it speaks for itself. I think it was so dope that he paid the money out of his pocket for her to finally get her star. Nothing but class… I love this dude, in my top 5!!!

[@bringthepayne7561]

I heard MS.BONITA and saw her shaking her head emphatically as she spoke it!!!!😂👏🏾😂👏🏾
