Katt Williams says there's more context to his 2014 arrest with Suge Knight than people know.

Katt Williams recently reflected on his 2014 arrest with Suge Knight during an interview with Willie D for his podcast, earlier this week. Williams faced robbery charges at the time for allegedly stealing the camera of an independent photographer in Beverly Hills. Williams says that wasn't the whole story.

“I’ll tell you the story, and then, you tell me if that changes how you frame this,” he said. “So, we have a meeting with a hologram company which is going to into a licensing deal on some holograms. This is in Beverly Hills. So now, there’s Rodeo [Drive]. And behind that, there’s an alleyway where you park your vehicles. Suge has brought his son with him, who is 5 years old at the time. And before we go into this meeting, Suge’s son runs behind the dumpster and urinates. And a lady films his penis out peeing behind the dumpster."
