Katt Williams owes IRS $4 Million – and Thinks Jamie Foxx is Gay

Katt Williams is hell-bent on continuing his downward spiral. For his latest round of controversy, the comedian has targeted Jamie Foxx in his recent stand-up routine, accusing the Academy Award winning actor of being a closeted homosexual and blasting him for his role in ‘Django Unchained.’ Williams alleged that the script came across his figurative desk and he declined. “They offered me the script and I said, ‘Any n***a that do this deserves to die. And the next thing I heard, Jamie Foxx was in makeup.”

For some reason, that just doesn’t seem true but…if he says so.

Anyhow, Williams could not have objected to the script based on language, specifically the use of n-word, because he’s known to throw around that word a few hundred times in his own stand-up routines. And, with the IRS slapping an almost $4 million dollar lien against the increasingly erratic comedian, he really shouldn’t be bragging about turning down work. It’s clear he’s gonna need all the work he can get to pay his debt; or to hire someone to do it for him.

More than the actor’s movie choices, Williams attacked Foxx for being an allegedly undercover gay man in Hollywood. He even went as far as to name the man who he says is Foxx’s same-sex lover. “I can even tell you the name of the dude he f**ked. His name is Marcus Anthony; he’s the only dude signed to Jamie Foxx’s label.”

Hmmm… and just how does Williams know this?

The troubled comedian goes on to attack Mr. Foxx throughout the comedy segment. Apparently, the one-sided feud between the two great entertainers began when Jamie Foxx aired a clip of Williams calling out Steve Harvey to a comedy battle on his former Sirius XM radio show FoxxHole. The pint-sized comedian was upset that Harvey had the audacity to question who Williams, still a relatively small-time comedian in 2008, was. Foxx was seen as instigating the feud, and for that Williams has never backed down in his attacks against the ‘Django Unchained’ star.

Katt might want to focus more on his erratic behavior and Foxx’s love life before he lands himself in jail. In the last two months, video of Williams slapping a Target employee then riding away in a motorized scooter has surfaced, and he has been questioned by police outside of a Subway in L.A. The funny-man announced his retirement in a video that went viral…only to un-retire days later.

Well, he has to pay that $4 million dollar tax bill somehow.

Perhaps, Williams should take note from the infamous line in the strip club classic movie ‘The Players Club’ and “make the money…don’t let the money make you.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
