Mo’Nique Wants Kevin Hart and Katt Williams to Work Together Instead of Fight

Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Comedian Mo’Nique called for comedians Kevin Hart and Katt Williams to put their beef to rest and band together.

The “Queens of Comedy” star recently dropped by “The Cruz Show” on Power 106 in Los Angeles and gave her thoughts on celebrities in the entertainment industry trying to fight for the top spot. Mo’Nique explained how comedians and artists are too busy trying to compete with one another for the number one spot when there’s enough for everybody to get a “piece of the pie.”

“There’s so much pie out there that every single person can have a slice and then go back for some more,” Mo’Nique noted. “[But] When it comes to Black talent, when it comes to Mexican, Latinas it can only be one. When it comes to white talent it can be a mass.”

She continued, “I cannot wait for the day that there’s a movie coming out starring Kevin Hart and Katt Williams. Because they are two brilliant comedy geniuses.”

Mo’Nique is referring to the recent quarrel between Hart and Williams. Williams accused Hart of instigating the beef between he and Tiffany Haddish to attract publicity for Hart’s movie “Night School.” The “Friday After Next” comedian has challenged Hart to a $5 million comedy battle and doesn’t seem interested in quashing their beef.

Mo’Nique said she can’t wait for the day that both male comedians place the drama behind them and work together. She added, “They are all my babies and funny as hell.”

In January, the Oscar-winning actress called for her fans to boycott streaming service Netflix over alleged gender and race disparity.

“I am asking that you stand with me and boycott Netflix for gender bias and color bias,” she added.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
