With Verzuz being such a cultural sensation, don’t be surprised if we see it applied to other forms of entertainment. Stand-up comedy definitely comes to mind. And while no pair of comedians have stepped up to the plate quite yet, Katt Williams recently made it clear that he’s willing to take on Kevin Hart in a battle should the opportunity ever arise.
While talking to Baltimore radio host Perisa Nicole recently, Williams revealed that he wouldn’t shy away from a battle against Hart because according to him, his only competition is Richard Pryor.
Hart and Williams haven’t always seen eye-to-eye. In fact, this isn’t the first time Williams has challenged Hart to a comedic competition.
After going back-and-forth with Hart in 2016, Williams challenged Hart to a $5 million battle. Williams insisted that they could do anything Hart desires for the money, but he would like to go head-to-head against him in comedy.
On that stage, we can put whatever you want: a full-court basketball court, a boxing ring, two microphones for a rap cypher, or you can get your ass dusted in comedy on that stage,” Williams said in a video. “And since you not a puppet, don’t bring no white people with you then.
Hart didn’t respond to this challenge, but Williams did get a rise out of Hart when he went on the offensive against one of Kevin’s proteges, Tiffany Haddish, in 2018. Williams claimed that Haddish didn’t put in the same amount of work as other female comedians. Hart responded by claiming drugs are the reason for Williams’s career decline.
