Ludacris has shared his thoughts on the Katt Williams‘ comments about him earlier this year, which involved the comedian making disparaging remarks about the rapper’s wife and career.
During a conversation with The Breakfast Club on Monday (April 1), the rapper and actor called the whole ordeal “laughable” and seemed rather unfazed by it all.
“I have no idea if he was offered a role in [Fast & Furious] or not,” he told Charlamagne Tha God in response to the 52-year-old’s claim that he turned down the part because he was not willing to compromise his integrity for it.

“I do know that I saw him in Rick Ross‘ crib some years back and everything was perfectly fine. But he’s a comedian — he tells jokes! — so it is what it is.”
He added: “Charlamagne, it was so laughable what he said […] I couldn’t believe what he was saying. I took it as laughable because he’s a comedian and that’s why I responded with some laughable stuff.”
The conversation about the Ohio native’s tirades begins at the 8:08 mark below:
Katt Williams made a viral appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast earlier this year, during which he made several flagrant remarks about many of his comedy and acting peers.
During the lengthy conversation, he also took a shot at Ludacris by claiming the Atlanta MC landed his role in the Fast & Furious franchise by making a deal with the Illuminati.
“So there was a crossroads where we were both invited to an Illuminati thing, and it had to be one or the other of us and decisions had to be made,” he said. “So it was both of us, we were equal. One of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn’t do the sideburn thing no more, with the points.
“And the next person they said was going to get $200 million because they were going to pay him $10 million a movie to do 20 movies. And that’s how the conversation happened. One of those persons turned out to be Ludacris, and the other person turned out to be Katt Williams.”

The Friday After Next star made things more personal by saying the rapper “ended up with a light-skinned, ugly-face wife.”
The Grammy winner hit back just hours later by spitting a not-so-subliminal freestyle over Kanye West‘s “Devil In a New Dress,” addressing the aforementioned Illuminati claims with the bars: “Never been Illuminati, only Ill-Luda-nati/ And I only left with bitches when coming from any party/ Now I’m married with kids, the evolution of life/ Never been a clout-chaser, never say shit for likes.”

He also referenced the comedian’s alleged history of drug use, rapping: “R.I.P. John Singleton, you never have to flex when you earned every one of your ‘Fast & Furious’ checks/ Afro with the sideburns, yeah that’s my signature/ Addiction’s on the rise, comedians check your temperature.”
Katt subsequently made an appearance on Suge Knight‘s Collect Call podcast weeks later and premiered his lyrical response during the episode.

“I’m coming for your number one spot, one of us a killer and the other one is not/ One of us the realest and the other one a fraud,” he raps on the hook.
He continues: “You heard the interview on ‘Club Shay Shay,’ I gave ’em all a payday/ I’m still going fucking viral so who care what the haters say/ Ludacris, you must be out your rabid ass mind/ You made a rap song but, n-gga, you ain’t say I’m fucking lying.”

Elsewhere in the freestyle, Williams calls Luda “bicurious” and implies he slept with Quincy Jones by spitting: “I’ve never personally been with Quincy Jones, but you/ That was your girl girl, boy boy.”
