Katt Williams is firing back at Ludacris with a fresh freestyle. On Suge Knight’s Collect Call podcast, Williams called Ludacris a “fraud” as the comedian briefly stepped into his rapper persona.

“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,” Williams rapped referencing Luda’s 2004 single “Number One Spot” over a piano instrumental beat.

“Oh Chris, I wish it never came to this/ And you pissed rapper free for the first time but you dissin’ this/The wrong side of history and a time like this/ So so Ludacris,” he continued.

Elsewhere in the rap, which begins at the 19:25 mark in the episode, Williams says he’s “fast and furious” in real life, referencing the rapper’s role as Tej Parker in the film franchise. He also makes assumptions about the rapper’s sexuality as he calls him “bicurious” and raps, “I’ve never personally been with Quincy Jones, but you/ That was your girl girl, boy boy.”

Ludacris Responds To Katt Williams’ Claims In A Freestyle

Ludacris responded to Williams last week with a freestyle after the comedian’s viral episode of Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe. Williams claimed that Luda was a part of the Illuminati, which is how he got his Fast & Furious role. He also took shots at Ludacris’ partner, saying that he “ended up with a light-skinned ugly-face wife.” Ludacris posted his response via a freestyle over Kanye’s “Devil In A New Dress.”

“Whatever’s heavy on my heart is always on my mind / Like Snoop [Dogg]’s cannabis shredder, I’m always on my grind / They throwing shade ‘cause n— could never take my shine / I bring my watch collection on my jet, let me take my time / Never been Illuminati, only Ill-Luda-nati,” he continued. “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 s–- for likes / RIP John Singleton / You never have to flex when you earned every one of your Fast and Furious checks / Afro with the sideburns, yeah that’s my signature / Addiction’s on the rise, comedians check your temperature.”
