Katt Williams Thinks He's One of the Most Important Black Men in America

The comedian is overheard making a bold claim about his level of stardom

There never seems to be a dull moment in the life of comedian Katt Williams. He has been the subject of quite a few interesting headlines in recent months, which is why we weren't surprised to hear that Williams recently referred to himself as “the second most important Black guy on the face of the Earth.”

 

TMZ reported that on June 11 three women were arrested for attacking a man on property rented by Williams. During the 911 call that lead to those arrests the man, a maintenance worker, says he and Katt got into an altercation. The man told the operator, "I’ve been beaten with sticks. They tried to tear my shirt off me when I was operating the tractor. It’s a big black family. The guy claims to be the second most important black guy on the face of the earth."


TMZ says that Katt can be heard arguing with the man during the call and that Katt was subsequently arrested for felony intimidating a witness.
