Steve Harvey Denies Having Past Beef with Late Comedian Bernie Mac

YouTube video

*Steve Harvey discussed the true nature of his relationship with late comedian Bernie Mac in an episode of “Black Comedy in America.”

The 10-episode docuseries explores Black comedy that shaped America for over a century and is hosted by comedians Tiffany Haddish, Chris Spencer, and Ryan Davis. Harvey appears in one episode with Cedric The Entertainer and D.L. Hughley, and he clarified that the rumors of beef with Mac, who passed away 16 years ago from sarcoidosis, were unfounded.

“Bernie was a special dude, man,” Harvey said. “So, you know, when I hear stuff about us and I hear stuff about the dissension, I don’t really know what they talking about.”

He added, “The thing about Bernie was, Bernie was a man’s man. So when somebody say, ‘They treated Bernie like sh*t.’ That was impossible,” Harvey explained.

“This dude, right here, was Chicago, South Side, to his core and blood. You mistreat this dude right here? You know the problem you’re going to have instantly? That was an impossibility. That was a man’s man,” he continued.

Harvey’s comments come months after Katt Williams fueled rumors of a Harvey/Mac beef during his appearance on Club Shay Shay earlier this year. Williams explained that he was invited to tour with The Original Kings of Comedy but declined because Harvey, Hughley, and Cedric “sh*t on Bernie.” 

“I know the truth,” Katt said on the podcast. “You think I’m gonna let you sh*t on Bernie and then come get me? I’m the next King? F**k you. Why? Because the whole time Bernie was here you was acting like you was funnier than him. The reason you’re supposed to go last is because it was your tour. Tell the truth. It was Steve’s tour… of course you gotta close if it’s your tour… but you couldn’t do it because you can’t beat the best. And until you humble yourself, you will forever be kinged by the king.”
