Comedian Katt Williams isn’t really sorry for an anti-Mexican rant he made during a performance, he said on CNN on Saturday morning.
In fact, despite an apology attributed to him released by his publicist earlier this week, Williams said he “meant what I said and said what I meant."
The controversial comments were caught in a video posted online. Williams, who was performing at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, asked a man in the crowd if he was a Mexican.
"It appears to me y'all like it over here a lot," he said.
"Do you remember when white people used to say 'Go back to Africa,' and we'd have to tell them we don't want to? So if you love Mexico, (expletive), get the (expletive) over there!"
It then got ugly – and Williams finished the argument with "We were slaves (expletive). You just work like that as landscapers."
Williams said on CNN that he was just defending his country to one man – but couldn't be racist because he had so many Mexican fans.
"If I had disrespected Mexicans, I wouldn't have been able to get out of there alive," the hot-mouthed comic said.
The non-apology was a quick turnaround from a statement his publicist released earlier in the week profusely apologizing for the bad joke.
"My remarks were not meant to be offensive," the apparently false statement said. "I want to apologize if my comedy act was taken out of context."
"I sincerely appreciate my fans within the Mexican community and would never intentionally go out of my way to offend them," he added.
The rant was just part of a tough summer for the controversial comic. He was booted from a Young Jeezy concert last week for what the Arizona Republic described as a "starring role" in a brawl that broke out mid-tune.
He was also arrested in June for a standoff with a tractor driver.
KATT WILLIAMS SAYS HE'S NOT SORRY! HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID & SAID WHAT HE MEANT! YOU GO KATT! THAT'S THE KINDA SH!T I BE ON! SOME REAL NI**A SH!T! LOL!
