*Comedian Earthquake has reacted to Katt Williams’ claim that he’s illiterate and cannot read.
“Why Earthquake not in movies?’ Cuz he’s illiterate. He can’t read. And they found that out when they gave him a show and then put the cards in front of him,” Williams said during his controversial Club Shay Shay interview earlier this month.
Earthquake responded during his recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, noting that Katt’s remarks confused him.
“Personally speaking, me and him was cool, so I didn’t know where that came from. Certain things he said about me, half was true, half was a lie. But to each his own,” he shared with hosts DJ Envy and Charlemagne tha God, Vibe reports.
“I’m the type of person [where] if I have a problem with you, Charlamagne, I’ma call you. We’re either gonna talk it out, we’re gonna duke it out, but we’re gonna handle it man-to-man,” he added.
“I don’t talk behind people’s backs and that’s what social media is: if you go onto a platform and talk about a person without you addressing them yourself when you have opportunities to get in contact with them and let it be known.”
Regarding Williams’ claim that he can’t read, Earthquake said, “First of all, its a lie….I used to [do radio at WBLS]. Everybody in radio wants to be like y’all and be syndicated. But if you’re not syndicated and you just got one godd**ned station, [the] only way you get some money [is] off live reads!”
