Comedian Katt Williams made a wild claim during a lengthy interview on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast that rapper and actor Ludacris landed his role in the Fast & Furious film series by making a covert deal. Williams also claimed that his and Ludacris' fates in Hollywood were decided at a meeting with "the Illuminati." Williams' claim has gone viral on social media.

Williams claimed that anonymous Illuminati members made the decision about the agreement. Many conspiracy theorists have over the years proclaimed their erroneous theories about an Illuminati class of ruling elites that dominate Hollywood and the rest of the globe.

Sharpe asked Williams if he was related to Ludacris, whose real name is Christopher Bridges, and that's when the conversation began.

"No," Williams responded, before proceeding to share his allegations. "So there was a crossroads where we were both invited to an Illuminati thing. And it had to be one or the other of us and decisions had to be made. So it was both of us. We were equal.

"One of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn't do the sideburn thing no more with the points. And the next person they said was going to get $200 million because they were going to pay him 10 million a movie to do 20 movies. And that's how the conversation happened."

Clarifying who he claimed took the deal, he went on: "One of those persons turned out to be Ludacris and the other person turned out to be Katt Williams."

Williams then took things a step forward by saying that "one person ended up with a light-skinned ugly face wife," adding that it's "part of what they give you."

"I didn't get it. I'm not mad about it," he said.

"Kevin told you you wasn't gonna wear no dress until they offered them the dress and then he put it on," Williams added in his interview with Sharpe. "And what did he say after he wore it? 'I made my own decision.' But you didn't make it before they brought it up, did you?"


Williams' dress comment appeared to be in reference to fellow comedian Kevin Hart dressing up as actor Quvenzhane Wallis during an appearance on Saturday Night Live back in 2013.

Hart defended his decision in a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, at the time, writing on the platform: "I WORE A DRESS ON SNL because I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY!!! I made that decision...NOBODY MADE IT FOR ME...I AM MY OWN BOSS!!!"

The snippet of Williams talking about Ludacris was shared on X, where a number of users weighed in with their thoughts on the comedian's comments. One post, captioned "Katt Williams exposing Hollywood," has received over 650,000 views.

"Katt Williams said him and Ludacris was in an illuminati meeting!! Lawd!!!" wrote one viewer, who added a GIF to illustrate their amusement at the claim.

"There is a part of the Katt Williams interview where he talks about Ludacris and I am SHOCKED that no one has said anything about it yet," another said.

"There are probably pockets of truth in his other stories but this was an obvious lie and really should've taken away any credibility that y'all think he has," they added.

"Not Katt Williams & Ludacris going to an illuminati meeting to decide their fate in Hollywood!!!" commented another, who added a GIF of Wendy Williams to their post.

Other X users expressed their disbelief at Williams' comments about Ludacris' wife, with one stating: "I was believing everything and seeing all the points Katt Williams was making till he said Ludacris' wife is ugly, then I clocked he's a bitter old f***.... That woman is so far from ugly."

Elsewhere in his appearance on Club Shay Shay, Williams criticized a number of his fellow comedians, including Steve Harvey, Michael Blackson, Rickey Smiley, and Faizon Love.

He also accused Cedric the Entertainer of stealing one of his jokes, telling Sharpe: "He thought that I was just a no-name comedian, and that he could take this joke and nobody would know. The issue was that I had already done this particular joke on BET's ComicView twice.

"Cedric comes to The Comedy Store [in Los Angeles], he watches me in the audience, he comes backstage, he tells me what a great job I did and how much he loves the joke. Two years later, he's doing that as his last joke on The [Original] Kings Of Comedy and he's doing it verbatim. He just changed my car into a spaceship."

Shortly after Williams' comments went live, Cedric the Entertainer, whose real name is Cedric Kyles, took to the comments section of Club Shay Shay's Instagram preview, where he branded the accusation "revisionist history."

"Regardless of whatever Katt's opinion, My career can't be reduced to One Joke Katt Williams claims as his," he stated. "I been over 40 movies, my specials and brand speaks volumes for I am. The [people] I have put on including 'Katt in the Hat' [Williams] At the Gibson Amphitheater."
