Mo’Nique Joins Katt Williams’ Tour Amid “Club Shay Shay” Fallout

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Mo’Nique’s eagerly anticipated Club Shay Shay interview finally dropped, and it didn’t disappoint. The performer discussed being shunned by her celebrity peers, calling out people like Oprah, Tyler Perry, Kevin Hart, and more. Even before the interview was released, social media users began to draw comparisons between Mo’Nique and Katt Williams, who just appeared on Club Shay Shay last month.

His interview went viral, as he similarly put several of his fellow comedians on blast. He dissed Kevin Hart, Rickey Smiley, Cedric The Entertainer, and more. Now, amid the fallout of Mo’Nique’s interview, she’s announced that she’ll be hopping on Williams’ Dark Matter tour. Kevin Hart’s ex-wife Torrei and Mark Curry will also join them on the tour.

Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks shared the news during an Instagram Live earlier today. The couple was addressing D.L. Hughley’s response to her callout on Club Shay Shay, as well as thanking the hosts of The Breakfast Club for their recent apologies. She had claimed that she was made uncomfortable during a game of “Would You Rather” on Hughley’s radio show, prompting him to fire back. “Every time I see Mo’Nique these days, she’s doing some greasy a** video with her and her daddy complaining about something or working out,” he said, also dubbing her a “liar.” According to Mo’Nique and Hicks, however, Hughley only scrapped the interview because they had gotten their attorney involved, though they hadn’t yet reached the point of sending him a cease and desist.

At some point in the Instagram Live, they snuck the announcement in. Fans note that Mo’Nique’s inclusion on the tour is sure to make it all the more explosive. What do you think of Mo’Nique announcing that she’s touring with Katt Williams following her Club Shay Shay interview?

Katt Williams Should Do A Tour, Tommie Lee Thinks

January 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Everyone’s got something to say about Katt Williams having so much to say about so many celebrities on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay show. So much so, in fact, that many of these folks, whether he mentioned them or not, still decided to jump in and talk about how they’ve enjoyed this sling of takes from him. Moreover, one of these is Tommie Lee, who suggested that the comedian should go on a tour now that there’s a lot of new attention and drama surrounding him. “[It’s] very RAW if Katt made ah tour for everybody he just talked about…” she wrote on her Instagram Story around Thursday (January 4). “We need some comedy back in our lives… And it’ll dismiss that old Kevin Hart video J/S [shrugging emoji] but what do I know I’m just ~Tommie.”

Furthermore, we’ll see if Katt Williams responds to these demands or if he’s just going to let social media do its thing. For those unaware, he blasted Cedric The Entertainer and other comedians, spoke on the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez case, gave his thoughts on the Kanye West situation, and chastised Diddy for his sexual assault accusations. As for Tommie Lee, she didn’t catch any smoke, and hopefully that stays the same if the Cincinnati, Ohio native finds out she’s a fan. After all, we know that she has a lot of struggles in her life that don’t warrant the microscopic jabs of a media figure.

However, not everyone is pleased with Katt Williams’ statements. Trick Daddy recently fired shots at him for putting other Black people down. “Listen, man, stop talking about other n***as to be relevant in the game and trend,” he expressed. “‘Cause you was trending today, and I’ma be trending tomorrow on your b***h a**. And I’m with whatever you with, n***a. And every n***a, every comedian, everybody who you told a story [about] got more money than me and you. You on my level, b***h a** n***a. Ha-ha! The joke on you, p***y a** n***a. You ain’t funny, you a f***ing joke. Stop making fun of other n***as. Black folk, we have to stop belittling our brothers and sisters to get a platform. To get shares, to get likes, to get views, to trend. We have to stop!”

Meanwhile, what do you think about the Love & Hip Hop alum’s proposition? If Williams goes on tour, do you think other comedians will be happy to support? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tommie Lee and Katt Williams.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Ali G Character Will Return On Upcoming Comedy Tour

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

51-year-old Sacha Baron Cohen has kept us laughing by bringing figures like Borat and Bruno to life throughout his career, but before those came to life, he spent his days playing Ali G. As Variety reports, this year marks the British character’s 25th anniversary, and to celebrate, Cohen is taking his famous yellow tracksuit on tour. Fans were hoping that the comedian’s recent teaser meant a movie was in the works, but it’s been made clear that he’s on strike with the rest of the industry.

“As a SAG and WGA member he is supporting the ongoing strike alongside his fellow writers and actors,” a source told the outlet. Regardless, we’re still happy to hear Cohen is hitting the road as Ali G for the first time since his 2021 appearance at The Comedy Story in Sydney, Australia. “I just wanted to get on stage and muck around and see what Ali G would be like with a crowd,” The Dictator star said at the time. “It was really good fun.”

Best of Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G

When he first rose to fame, Ali G was a regular fixture on The 11 O’Clock Show. He would sit down with public figures, including politicians and judges, to conduct odd interviews. Cohen’s character quickly became known as the “voice of youth,” and his early work helped to cement the foundations for his career as a comedy legend. Da Ali G Show began airing in the early 2000s, which ultimately also introduced us to his other alter egos – Borat, the Kazakh reporter, and Bruno, the fashion-lover from Austria.

Aside from bringing back Ali G, Sacha Baron Cohen has also been busy making movie magic in David O’Russell’s Super Toys. The comedian will star alongside Keke Palmer as “a duo of groovy ’70s toy sales reps on a life-and-death mission” in the upcoming film. Read more about that project at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
