"The clone showed up with a face full of freckles"— Katt Williams jokes about Jamie Foxx's new Netflix comedy special

On his latest stop of the Heaven on Earth Tour, stand-up comedian Katt Williams made fun of Jamie Foxx’s Netflix comedy special, What Had Happened Was, released on December 10, 2024. Calling the Spider-Man actor a “clone,” Williams said:

“Let me be specific. Anything I say tonight is allegedly, b*tch. I don’t know sh*t, I just be up here, talking. I love Jamie Foxx. Let me say that. I love Jamie Foxx. He a… clone. His clone ain’t sh*t. His clone kept on messing up. The clone showed up with a face full of freckles.

“We ain’t never even seen Jamie Foxx with freckles, b*tch. This clone is stupid as hell. The clone didn’t even have a tattoo on the back of his head. I couldn’t believe it. I watched the whole thing, twice. I still don’t know what had happened was…”

Williams even joked to the sold-out stadium that the lack of transparency surrounding Jamie Foxx’s April 2023 medical emergency wouldn’t be so mysterious if they accepted one of many conspiracy theories circulating online.

Exploring more about Katt Williams’ latest sarcastic dig at Jamie Foxx

Talking about Jamie Foxx during his tour, Katt Williams quipped how he cried “like a baby” five minutes into What Had Happened Was, adding he didn’t know “what to think” of it.

“I saw Jamie Foxx’s special… The f*ck am I doing crying at a special, n***a? Jamie Foxx ain’t sh*t. I f*cking will make you watch his funeral. N***a televised his funeral, he even ain’t dead. He was just up there,” Katt joked.

Williams made fun of Jamie Foxx, saying the latter started his Netflix special with “somebody gave me an aspirin and 21 days later…” without getting “specific” and left much of it to the audience’s imagination. He claimed he wasn't invited during Foxx’s special shoot as they knew not to include him in the “shenanigans” and that he wouldn’t “participate.”

Katt Williams also alleged that Jamie hosted “butt-n*ked basketball parties,” which is what reportedly made him realize he was not the same type as him, despite being in the same profession and loving basketball.

Elsewhere, Williams claimed Jamie’s wealth secured him a spot in the alleged shadowy secret society called Illuminati. He jokingly added he wouldn’t mind joining it himself to get rid of a few secrets of his own and reveal others publicly.

“And they would kill me if they could. But I’m too fast. Thank Jesus,” the 53-year-old Ohio native quipped.

One of the secrets Katt Williams said he would unlock was why McDonald’s fries were considered better than all others.

This is not the first time the Wild ‘n Out star has talked about Jamie Foxx after the latter’s illness. During his Netflix special, Katt Williams: Woke Foke, which was part of the May 2024 “Netflix is a Joke Fest,” the stand-up comic expressed doubts about Foxx’s health condition.

“Never in the history of medicine has there been a mystery illness. A mystery illness means you’re a*s is fine,” Williams noted back then.

What did Jamie Foxx say on What Had Happened Was?

During his Netflix special filmed in Atlanta, Jamie Foxx mimicked Katt Williams’s description of his “mystery illness.”

“Katt Williams got in on it. Katt will say 2,000 things that don’t make sense but then say four things that make sense and put sir at the end of it,” he added.

At the time, he also called out the internet for calling him a “clone” and responded with a “f*ck you.”

On it, he shared suffering “a brain bleed that led to a stroke” that rendered him hospitalized in April 2023 and a 20-day period of which he has no memory. Jamie Foxx explained it all started with a bad headache and taking an aspirin from a friend which he was shooting for the film Back in Action alongside Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close.

While the exact cause of his illness remains a “mystery,” according to the Ray actor, he shared that doctors performed brain surgery. He said he eventually made a full recovery following rehabilitation in Chicago and help from his family and friends. His mantra throughout What Had Happened Was remained, "If I can stay funny, I can stay alive."
