Katt Williams called out “Saturday Night Live” for using a woman to parody him on the sketch show.
“There has never been a person that has been parodied nine times on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and yet never been invited other than me,” the “Friday After Next” star, 53, said onstage at the Vulture Festival in Los Angeles Saturday.
“So, I at this point, take it as a badge of honor that they don’t f–k with me,” he added.
When asked if he liked any of the impressions, Williams said, “A lot of times when people are doing an impression of you, they’re really showing you how they feel about you. You know what I mean?”
“So, for ‘Saturday Night Live’ to have an impression of me and have a woman do that, means they think I’m a bitch. And I understand that that’s what they’re saying when they do that,” the comedian added, referring to Ego Nwodim portraying Williams during a January episode of “SNL.”
“It doesn’t bother me at all. I understand how the game goes and I understand that if you love me you know why you do. And if you don’t f–k with me, I understand why. My job is to be worthy.”
After Williams’ “Club Shay Shay” interview with Shannon Sharpe went viral in January, “SNL” poked fun at the moment — but tapped Nwodim, 36, to play the “Norbit” actor and Devon Walker to play the former NFL star.
In the clip, Nwodim, dressed in the same Fendi outfit Williams wore during his interview with Sharpe, imitated the actor’s voice and some of his outrageous claims.
“Three things are true about me. I am 5-feet-3, I have never told a lie and I am 6-feet-3,” she (as Williams) told Walker (as Sharpe).
During the original interview, Williams made many bombshell claims, including that Chris Tucker traveled to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Esptein’s island, where the late financier was running a sex trafficking ring with partner Ghislaine Maxwell.
The “First Sunday” star also predicted the downfall of Sean “Diddy” Combs, saying he believed “all lies would be exposed” this year.
“All of these big-d–k deviants is all catching hell in 2024,” he told Sharpe, 56. “It’s up for all of them. It don’t matter if it’s Diddy or whoever you is, [pastor] T.D. Jakes, any of them.”
Williams claimed he refused invites to the Bad Boy Records founder’s infamous parties over the years.
“I’ve had to turn down $50 million four times. Just to protect my integrity and that virgin hole I was telling you about, right?” he alleged.
“Because P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you got to tell him no. You got to tell him no! I did. See, I got the receipts for everything I’m telling you, that’s why I can say them so freely.”
