Katt Williams Says Cancel Culture Does Not Exist – Deadline
3 min read

Comedian Kat Williams doesn’t suppose cancel tradition is all that dangerous – if it even exists.

In a June 4th interview on The Joe Budden Podcast, the Emmy-award profitable stand-up comedian was requested, “Where do you stand on comics’ ability to be comics without judgment and repercussions from cancel culture?”

“Some of these things are for the benefit of everything,” Williams responded. “Nobody likes the speed limit, but it’s necessary. Nobody likes the shoulder of the road, but it’s there for a reason. My point is, [people] weren’t all that extremely funny back when they could say whatever they wanted to say.”

He continued, “At the end of the day, there’s no cancel culture. Cancellation doesn’t have its own culture.”

Williams elaborated cancellation has excluded individuals who weren’t memorable to start with and that it’s not half a comic book’s job description to upset giant swaths of your viewers.

“I don’t know what people got cancelled that we wish we had back. Who are they? It’s done for the reasons it’s done for and it helped who it helped,” Williams mentioned. “If all that’s going to happen is that we have to be more sensitive in the way that we talk, isn’t that what we want anyway? I’m saying, your job as a comedian is to please the most amount of people with your art. Don’t call somebody this word when you know it affects all of these people.”

Williams then defined a comic book’s job will not be for the weak and that stand-ups ought to search for a distinct profession path if they'll’t adapt to fashionable attitudes.

“If these are the confines that keep you from doing the craft God put you to, then it probably ain’t for you,” Williams concluded.
