American comedian Katt Williams, in a recent podcast interview, candidly expressed his thoughts about rapper-music producer Kanye West, addressing the rapper’s controversial behaviour. The 52-year-old artist argued that watching and holding someone accountable for their actions, especially someone with special needs, doesn’t align with treating them like everyone else. Williams went on to liken the 46-year-old rapper to an individual dealing with “mental illness.” Additionally, he criticised Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her short-term, much younger ex-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

During the Club Shay Shay podcast interview, Katt Williams, known for his role in Friday After Next, openly shared his unfiltered opinions when asked to give his perspective on the Praise God rapper, Kanye West, “from a distance.” Williams didn’t hold back, expressing his suspicion about labelling someone with a mental illness and then observing and judging their actions. He raised the ethical question of watching someone’s struggles when they are dealing with mental health issues.
Continuing his commentary, Katt Williams questioned the idea of holding someone with special needs to the same standards as everyone else.
