Well, I've been white on my life and I've always resonated with Katt Williams. It's not a black thing or a white thing. He's just one of the smartest men in the room and his comedy shows that.

[@1diddya]

How does his voice bring you to the hood he sounds like a preacher

[@MANIFESTDESTINY2025]

Katt Williams is my favorite comedian and I'm not black, MANY non black people follow Katt.

I'm a 47yr old white lady wife/mom from a farm in Indiana & I've loved Katt ever since he came about.

*these guys never said he didn’t have non black fans tho so…..*

[@Dr._Mambo]

His dumb a$$ just said 90% of his fans are black. Stupid a$$ statement. If 90% of his fans were black, he would never have had any specials. 15% of the population doesn’t drive $hit!

u cant compare cause kevin sells more and has more money he on a different level

[@patricklemire9278]

I am a white as snow and Kevin is not funny, Katt is hilarious. I can only imagine how funny he’d be if I got the nuances.

[@stlrickyjones]

They’re confusing Katts clothes with his content. He’s always been highly substantive and thoughtful, very observational.

[@Eldot5]

Exactly. In my view, Katt is actually much more thoughtful and has more depth & nuance to his expressed views than Kevin does. At least as far as their publicly available content and ideas. It’s reaching for straws to suggest that Katt has less appeal to a wider and more diverse audience than Kevin. That’s just patently untrue. If the guy who suggested that was put to the task to provide raw evidence to substantiate that claim, he would begin mumbling and stuttering for sure.

[@mania4270]

​@@Eldot5but that's not what Kevin does. Kevin makes jokes about his size, being a man, a father, and family. And the fact that he never touches race or politics is why he's one of the best. He can go a whole hour on his wife and kids and I find that more talented than a comedian talking about bs politics for an hour.

[@Eldot5]

@@mania4270 Even at that, Kevin’s takes still lack the depth and nuance i mentioned. It’s watery and mostly doesn’t connect with the raw realism of life. I mean it’s okay for people to like Kevin and find him funny, but anyone who thinks Katt is less appealing to a diverse audience is trippin.

[@34blackula]

Katt's been covering a wide range of topics at his concerts, even during the Pimp Chronicles. Yes he did man/woman stuff but he also covered the police, drugs, his kids, politics, and other topics. It's not like he was on stage saying I'm a pimp, I'm a pimp, I'm a pimp. My problem with Kevin is if it didn't involve his family or friends then he had no material. The first two shows were good, but after that you just seen he had no real material. I feel like I grew up with his kids and I wouldn't even recognize one of them if they walked by me in the streets.

Talent is 💯 correct about Katt Williams stand-up. I went to his last tour and it was him more so dropping knowledge and truth he couldn't say out so blatantly.

[@jacydyer5489]

I absolutely love Katt Williams because he is one of the only Black comedians, and celebrities period, to choose to stay on the side of the people. He uses his comedy to inform the people just like George Carlin did. KH is a celebrity sellout to humanity, just like almost all celebrities. He is not free to be, he is controlled. He cannot inform nor warn people about the psychopathic rulers of earth. He is one of their hired influencers. Just check out the story of why Hollywood was created. The original intention of creating stars, and making them celebrated, was to use them as influencers to get the public to do what the government wants. Kevin is simply one of these "paid influencers", while Katt is a courageous human being.
