Katt Williams' recent interview with Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay show is still nabbing reactions from all over pop culture. Moreover, one of the most recent figures to react is fellow comedian Mike Epps, who addressed the interview during a recent stand-up set. Specifically, he said that Williams should have worn something different, because he accused his Fendi jacket of being a fake piece. Overall, it seems like it was a pretty funny breakdown, but people really interpreted these jokes as a serious jab. As such, Epps took to social media to speak on the discussion around this reference, and also speak briefly on both of their career trajectories.

"It's f***ed up, man," Mike Epps said of Katt Williams' recent sit-down. "He just should've worn something different. That lil' hat, he had the hat on. And that fake Fendi jacket. That's my n***a, though, that's my n***a, that's my n***a!" "I put all these mfs on and still putting comics on today," he captioned a picture with Williams shortly after.
