Williams called Smiley a liar for misleading him about a role. Williams claimed that the 55-year-old comedian told him he was supposed to play Money Mike in the 2002 movie Friday After Next, while Williams' role was Santa Claus.

He then told podcaster Sharpe how Cedric "did the same thing". "When you asked him, 'Did you steal Katt Williams' joke,' Cedric told you," he said.
"How does it not hold up that I did it on TV in 2018, you came to see me at the Comedy Store in 2019 and then you did it on The Kings of Comedy?" he added.
Williams then addressed the Hangin' with Mr. Cooper actor, saying, "What doesn't add up? This is a televised joke that Mark Curry helped me get to this level."
He also criticized Cedric's appearance, calling him a talentless "walrus". "We found out he can't sing, he can't dance and he can't write jokes. He's done four comedy specials. They're so bad that they're not on Shannon, Netflix or Tubi," she said.

After Williams accused the two comedians of conspiring against him, he accused Harvey of plagiarizing Curry's role as Mark Cooper on The Steve Harvey Show. "The same Steve went to watch Mark Curry's entire sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had," he alleged.
The Lonely Street star continued: "Now Steve has a sitcom where he's the manager and he wears a suit. Then he puts on a high-heeled frock coat and makes all the Black men think he has the best staff in the industry. And it's a men's unit."
"Then you ask him, 'Why aren't you a movie star?' and he says, 'I didn't want to be a movie star,'" Williams added, imitating Harvey. Williams also claimed that Harvey "hates Bernie [Mac] with the same thing" and that The Steve Harvey Show host "couldn't be a movie star."
"There are 30,000 new scripts written in Hollywood every year. None of them want a country bumpkin Black man who can't speak well and looks like Mr. Potato Head. There aren't any. You have to have range," Williams explained.

When the podcaster asked about Williams' relationship with three comedians named Harvey, Smiley and Cedric, he claimed that "they've been conspiring against me for years."
"They've been a group for 30 years. These are not three random guys," he said: "The reason Rickey Smiley keeps showing up at all my auditions is because of Steve and Ced. He used to tell everybody that. Listen, they have a gang over there. They know what's going on."
