Katt Williams Explains Why He Included Diddy In His Portal Of Hate During ‘Club Shay Shay’ Episode

Over the last year, there’s been an ongoing joke about how Katt Williams “opened a portal of hate” when he declared during his viral Club Shay Shay interview that “all of these deviants are catching hell in 2024.” The joke grew legs because several of his claims wound up ringing true, and his mention of Sean “Diddy” Combs in particular is a line many people have referred back to since Combs’ recent legal woes unfolded.

When speaking about the famous Dave Chappell situation that saw him turning down $50 million from Comedy Central, Williams told host Shannon Sharpe that “P Diddy be wanting to party, and you’ve got to tell him no… I did, I got the receipts.” In a new interview with GQ, the American Hustle star provided more context about why he spoke about the Bad Boy founder in that manner.

He began his explanation by mentioning his connection with Tupac. “So when I was a young man, Tupac was my favorite artist. I loved Tupac. And I felt like we were kindred spirits. So if I hear you responsible for knocking my n**ga off…” he said, referring to ongoing speculation that Diddy may have been involved in Pac’s death.

He continued, “I don’t give a f**k what job I end up being in, I don’t care how things go, if I can get a way to get you, that’s what I’m all about. I just don’t like you walking around scot-free.”

Williams even went as far as calling the father of six a “demon,” making his disdain for the disgraced mogul clear. “’Cause you a demon, and I know demons are powerful, but I know why they’re powerful… 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,” he added.

Eight months after the viral Club Shay Shay interview, Diddy was arrested in NYC in September. He was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. Since then, the “I Need A Girl” artist has been held in the MDC Brooklyn and denied bail twice.
