Comedian Katt Williams warned P Diddy’s lies would be ‘exposed’ months before the 55-year-old music mogul was arrested. A video of his interview has now resurfaced on YouTube
Sean “Diddy” Combs was warned by a comedian that, in his opinion, Diddy’s “lies will be exposed” months before his arrest.
In a resurfaced video from the beginning of 2024, comedian Katt Williams predicted the music mogul’s downfall. P Diddy, 55, was arrested in September on charges including s3x trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Combs has vehemently denied all of the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty in court. Since Diddy’s arrest, fans have returned to Katt’s YouTube interview, during which he reflected on the “deviants” of the world.
In the video, filmed for the podcast Club Shay Shay, the comedian told host Shannon Sharp, “All of these big deviants is all catching hell in 2024; it’s up for all of them. It don’t matter if you Diddy or whoever you is … All lies will be exposed.” At the time, the comments didn’t make much sense. However, after Diddy’s arrest, Katt’s fans are seeing his words in a new light.

One commented, “Katt Williams needs public apologies from a lot of people who slammed him after this interview. He was 1000% right.” Another wrote, “This is what a comedian is supposed to be. The one who’s brave enough to speak. Truth to power.”
Someone else said, “This came out in January 2024 and here I am watching in October 2024, in awe of how right Katt was.” And a fourth added, “The fact that this interview broke the internet BEFORE the P. Diddy raid tells you the power of Katt Williams. Respect.”
In November, Diddy was denied bail for the third time as he awaits his trial in May. The judge cited evidence showing him to be a “serious risk” of witness tampering and proof he has tried to hide prohibited communications with third parties while incarcerated. US District Judge Arun Subramanian ruled in a five-page order following a bail hearing.
At the hearing, lawyers for the hip-hop mogul argued that a $50million bail package they proposed would be sufficient to ensure Combs doesn’t flee and doesn’t try to intimidate prospective trial witnesses. Two other judges previously had agreed with prosecutors that the Bad Boy Records founder was a danger to the community if he is not behind bars. Subramanian concurred.
“There is compelling evidence of Combs’ propensity for violence,” Subramanian wrote. Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges that he coerced and abused women for years, aided by associates and employees. An indictment alleges that he silenced victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
In October, a federal appeals court judge denied Combs’ immediate release while a three-judge panel of the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan considers his bail request. That appeal was put on hold while Subramanian, newly appointed to the case after an earlier judge stepped aside, considered the bail request for the first time.
Subramanian said he took a fresh look at all the bail arguments and the evidence supporting them to make his decision. Prosecutors have insisted that no bail conditions would be sufficient to protect the public and prevent the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer from fleeing.
The Mirror US has contacted Diddy’s representatives for comment.
