Supreme has released a new video featuring legendary cabaret artist Katt Williams. Sporting a Tekashi 6ix9ine-esque rainbow hairstyle, a crisp box logo t-shirt and a two-piece suit with a barbed wire print, the nearly seven-minute-long clip sees Williams kissing a thoughtful and humorous monologue about current events.
After revealing his new hairstyle, Williams takes the ‘stage’ with JAY-Z’s ‘Public Service Announcement’ instrumental blaring in the background. He jokes about the lack of a reaction from his phantom audience, and then launches into his bit. Williams begins by dragging US President Donald Trump, saying that a “perfectly fit clown” is running the free world, specifically opting for the former reality TV star’s remarks about taking bleach. Williams then calls out Black Lives Matter, urging anyone watching the video to “say it out loud, because it’s a fact.”
Williams is being emotionally debated over the civil unrest that has plagued the country in recent months following the assassination of George Floyd at the Minneapolis Police Department. He goes on to discuss New York City and its hidden secrets – namely Hart Island. The cabaret artist also encourages mask wearers to fight the COVID-19 coronavirus before touching on racial equality one last time, saying he ‘quarantines most jokes as [the viewer] looking for something to laugh about. The set is being finalized by Williams and says he “has already done more than an elected official” for a final shot at President Trump before leaving the spotlight.
