Williams also insulted multiple celebrities during the interview, and now, heâs facing backlash as heâs accused of stealing jokes from other comedians as well. âBlack Jesusâ comedian Corey Holcomb claims that Williams stole a joke from comedian and âSpider-Man: No Way Homeâ actor J.B. Smoove.
Holcomb appeared on the podcast âWonder Twinzâ on YouTube on Jan. 3, he claimed that Williams stole J.B. Smooveâs material for one of his first specials.
He accused Williams of stealing J.B. Smooveâs joke anybody could walk out to or do anything to a specific track playing before saying, âThatâs my sâtâ after the music stopped and using the music as part of his routine.
âI dare somebody to say this ainât true âcause I can get a thousand comics to back me up,â said Holcomb. âI root for Katt, I root for Katt, but that joke where he do like, âMan if you listen to this song, you can do anything off this song. Thatâs J.B. Smoove joke homie.â
YouTuber Bernard Riley shared a clip of J.B. Smooveâs performance in 1996 in âDef Comedy Jamâ and another of Williams having a DJ play Rick Rossâ single âHustlin’â for the audience during 2007âs âKatt Williams: American Hustle.â
Both men walk out onstage to music and use the music in their routines. Like Smoove, Williams repeatedly said, âThatâs my sâtâ and noted the song could be played in a grocery store or used to help a man get over a breakup the song with a similar repetitive nature. Holcomb also accused him of stealing other moves from J.B.
âI know all the guys that do other peopleâs jokes,â said Holcomb. âYou ever see somebody hit the mic like they hittinâ somebody? Thatâs J.B. Smooveâs joke, man. They all stole it and ran with it.â
J.B. Smoove is a comedian, actor and writer who has appeared in numerous television shows and films including âThink Like a Manâ and âBarbershop: The Next Cut.â

The YouTuber explained that Williams simply borrowed inspiration from Smooveâs joke in the same way that Cedric borrowed him.
âCedric The Entertainer saw a smaller comedian do something on âComicView.â He took it, refurbished it, and broke it out on a bigger stage when he blew up and did âKings of Comedy,’â Riley said.
Holcomb went into further detail later on the âWonder Twinzâ podcast. He described Smoove as one of the âmost outstanding underground comics ever,â and called Cedric The Entertainer one of the âElites.â
He alleged that there are two âversionsâ of Williams, one that âpeople canât understandâ and the other thatâs âbrilliant.â But he seemed concerned about the way his comedian friend is going about exposing others in the same industry.
âYou talk about everybody but donât talk about yourself knowing you got a lot of demons, that sât ainât cool,â Holcomb added.
Neither Williams nor J.B. has yet responded to Holcombâs claims.
