On 22 September, Katt Williams stirred the internet when he shared a meme about Sean "Diddy" Combs on his Instagram story. The meme has since gone viral, with fans quickly drawing connections between it and an old interview in which Williams made cryptic remarks about Diddy’s behavior.
Sean "Diddy" Combs, the 54-year-old rapper, is facing serious legal trouble as police conducted raids on his Miami and Los Angeles homes earlier this week. The raids are reportedly part of a larger investigation involving racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The meme in question featured a scene from New Jack City, where the character Nino Brown accuses Kareem Akbar of being a ringleader. In Katt's version, Diddy and Jay-Z's faces were imposed onto the characters, with the caption,
"Diddy about to snitch on everybody."
The comedian’s followers are now claiming that Williams had allegedly been "warning" the public about the rapper long before his legal troubles became public, refering to his interview.
Williams' post was reshared by The Shade Room's Instagram account where fans quickly filled up the comment section. One fan even compared Katt Williams to the long-running TV show The Simpsons, known for its uncanny ability to "predict" real-world events.
"Katt Williams is like the Simpsons."
The meme’s timing, coupled with Diddy’s ongoing legal battles, has sparked a wave of reactions, with many praising Williams for his alleged foresight.
Katt Williams’ cryptic comments about Diddy resurface amid investigation
The interview in question is from Williams’ January 2024 appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, where the comedian made some cryptic yet bold claims about Diddy. Fans are now pointing out that Williams appeared to predict Diddy's current legal issues, with his remarks being interpreted as an early warning of the rapper's alleged wrongdoings.
In the now-viral clip shared across social media platforms, Katt Williams alluded to Diddy’s problematic behavior in the music industry, suggesting that the rapper’s actions would eventually be exposed.
"I gotta protect my integrity and that virgin hole I was telling you about because P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you gotta tell him no," Williams stated during the podcast.
He added,
"All of these big d*** deviants is all catching hell in 2024. It's up for all of them. It doesn't matter if you Diddy, or whoever you is. All lies will be exposed. In 30 years, I've done nothing but collect information, knowledge, and your secrets. I know so many things I shouldn't know, and they all know it."
Williams also accused Diddy of inappropriate behavior towards women, further fueling the backlash against the Coming Home singer.
"If I look at it, I got it. That's how Diddy be feeling," he remarked, referencing Diddy's alleged disrespectful treatment of women.
As news of the raids and the resurfaced interview spread, fans took to social media, flooding platforms like X (formerly Twitter) with reactions to Katt Williams’ comments.
Many pointed out how Williams’ statements from January appeared eerily prophetic, drawing parallels between his remarks and Diddy’s current situation.
This sentiment was echoed by others, who likened Williams to a figure able to tell hard truths through his comedic persona.
Diddy is currently facing a wave of allegations, with multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual abuse and s*x trafficking. While the rapper has yet to release an official statement in response to the raids, the investigation is ongoing.
