As Katt Williams’ explosive interview on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast continues to reverberate, more and more celebrities are stepping up to give their two cents on some of Williams’ more incendiary claims.
Legendary media personality Ed Lover recently took to his podcast, C’Mon Son!” to corroborate Williams’ claim that Steve Harvey did some hating on his fellow King of Comedy performer, Bernie Mac.
“[Williams] goes on to say that he was supposed to be one of the Kings of Comedy — that they approached him after Bernie passed,” Lover recaps in the episode. “But he didn’t want to go on the ‘Kings of Comedy’ tour because of Steve Harvey’s treatment of Bernie Mac. He has a lot of respect for Bernie Mac.”
Lover went on to explain that he had been friends with Mac until his dying day and that Mac told him the same story about Harvey as well.
“The stuff that Katt Williams said about Steve Harvey calling to try to get Bernie’s role on Oceans 11, and that kind of stuff, Bernie told me out of his own mouth. I believe Bernie Mac when he said Steve Harvey hated on him,” he concluded.
Though Williams spoke on a laundry list of who’s who in the Black comedy scene of the last 20 years, he seemed to have a particular dislike for Harvey, accusing the “Family Feud” host of a long list of offenses.
“The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had,” Williams said of the “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper” star. “Now Steve got a sitcom where he the principal, and he wear a suit. And then he gets this high-top fade, making all Black men think he got the best lineup in the business, and it’s a man unit.
“Then you ask him, ‘Why you not a movie star?’ ‘I didn’t want to be a movie star.’ This the same negro that hated on Bernie [Mac] with this same thing. There are 30,000 new scripts in Hollywood every year. Not one of them asked for a country bumpkin Black dude that can’t talk good […] and look like Mr. Potato Head. There ain’t none. You have to have range,” he continued.
Williams’ nearly three-hour interview has amassed more than 28 million views in four days and has pushed the subscriber count on Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay channel to more than 2 million subscribers.

Hatin’ on anybody especially high profile folks isn’t good. ‘This’ is kinda’ hatin’ on Steve Harvey!🙃
No one is hating on old liver lip Harvey. I’ll never forget he was clowning us during our water crisis. I’m sure he’s aware people passed away from the water,. So forget Steve Harvey.😠😠
Truth hurts
Katt, did not lie about Harvey and Bernie. Bernie, found out that Steve Harvey, had been going to producers lying on him so they would not give him a show of his own on t.v. He found out what Harvey, was doing, thru a source connected. Bernie, said he will never ever be on the same stage with him again in life. Bernie, died, not dealing with Harvey. No forgiveness. Harvey, tried playing it off at Bernie funeral. Saying he and Bernie, had come to terms of love with each other. Lies!! He tell. Katt Williams, is speaking nothing but the truth. And S.H. did steal the show ideas from Mark Curry. Do the math.
Steve Harvey, isn’t funny. As I listened to Katt Williams, I believe him. Steve dosen’t care about anyone but steve.
& Marjorie lol
I know both men and unfortunately one is telling the truth and the other is very guilty and has nit taken accountability
I believe Kay Williams
Whatever happened it was back in the day. I’m sure there are a lot of actors, actresses, and comedians who did unsavory things to get to where they are. Steve is definitely not the only one. As far as people stealing other people’s material, that happens among all comedians. It sounds to me as if Katt Williams is being bitter because his life is not on track with Steve’s. Hater!! Get your life Katt because I’m sure that there are people that he doesn’t like and that he pilfered material from others also. Everybody is not gonna like everybody. It’s called LIFE!!
Yep, and many of them got very rich!
Give me a break… Kat isnt lying
My thing is why y’all wait to bring old 🤬 into the new year if y’all had a beef, you should’ve settled in a long time ago🤨
