Katt Williams definitely has some explaining to do. On Thursday night, the comedian was arrested again, this time he inside a Subway sandwich store. Making matters even bizarre, reports are surfacing that Williams was arrested while waiting for hip hop kingpin Suge Knight to finish getting a manicure.
Katt, 39, was at a West Hollywood Subway when the police were called to the scene because of an unknown disturbance. There are no facts yet about who Williams was disturbing but his presence, as of lately, has become a disturbing one in and of itself. After arriving on the scene, the police took Katt into custody, then later released the comedian.
It was also reported that Katt had marijuana and a gun in his possession. Both confiscated items were given back to Katt, however, as the comedian has a medical marijuana license and a permit to carry his gun.
What makes Suge’s involvement in the story bizarre is that Suge, now Katt’s manager, is also the co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records. In the 90’s, DRR churned out hardcore rap hits like triple platinum “The Chronic” and made stars out of such artists such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, 2Pac, and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez.
TMZ has exclusive footage of the comedian, beginning with him sitting in the back of a police car. After emerging from the car, Williams tells his side of the story: “I was stopped (by the police) for being black,” he says half-jokingly, we think. “I make over $200,000 for a comedy show and I work for an hour. How easy is my life supposed to be?” he added. “Whatever a regular black guy gets, I get that.”
Earlier this week, footage was released that showed Williams slapping a Target employee in the face. The comedian then explained that he was violent with the young man seen in the surveillance video because he was called the “N-Word.” Huffington Post reports: “The actor claims he told the employee to repeat the word and see what happens, which is when he slapped [the employee], who was fired shortly after the incident.”
It has been quite a serious month for the funnyman. On December 3rd, Katt allegedly threatened a bar manager with a pool cue and later threw a cigarette at a women, hitting her in the eye. The following day, December 4th, Williams was removed from a Sacramento hotel in Seattle. On December 7th, the comedian was detained outside of Sacramento stemming from an outstanding warrant stemming from a November reckless driving incident.
Going back just a month, in November the comedian’s assistant sued him for allegedly assaulting her at his home. Let’s hope – for his sake and those of others – that Williams gets himself back under control.
