On Club Shay Shay, Katt Williams, born Micah Sierra Williams, gives his account of a buddy-cop promise that became a dress role in Big Momma's House 2.

On Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, Katt Williams gives his own account of how a promised buddy-cop movie became Big Momma's House 2, and of turning down a role that, he says, would have put him in a dress. The episode was uploaded January 3, 2024. This article stays with what Williams himself says in the Short, and does not add other people's versions of the same events.

Williams's real name is Micah Sierra Williams, as set out in his RealNameOf biography. That birth name is not mentioned in the Short. It is here only to identify who is speaking.

A promise, as he tells it, during a hiatus

Williams starts with the setup. "Martin tried to put me in my first dress," he says, "when he had to go on his Hiatus." As Williams tells it, Martin asked him to wait, called him "my young partner" and "my brother in comedy," and asked him to promise that the next movie would be the two of them together. They were, in Williams's telling, "going to do some buddy cop" picture.

Williams says he gave his word. He told Martin to do what he had to do, and that when Martin came back, "I'm in your movie don't trip." He also says he did not need to see a script first: "I don't need to see the script or nothing."

"This fool pull out Big Mama's House too"

Then, he says, they were in an office, and the project was not what he had agreed to. "we get in that office and this fool pull out Big Mama's House too I almost died."

The film's official title is Big Momma's House 2. In the Short, Williams's wording is "Big Mama's House too." This article uses his words when it is quoting him, and the official title when it is naming the film.

He says he then had to read the script, and that the part called for him "to get in a dress with him."

"Why is he in a dress again"

His objection, as he tells it, was not only that he would have to wear a dress. It was that the other man would be in one again. "I'm liter literally saying to everybody why is he in a dress again," Williams says. "you already played the old lady as FBI agent we can play anything now we can be playing a dog catcher this time why do we need to be in a dress."

He uses that earlier costume only to ask why they needed to do it again, when they could have played "anything," even "a dog catcher."

"You don't want me you want Brandon T Jackson"

The argument, in his telling, ends with a refusal and a suggestion. "I get so mad I say you don't want me you want Brandon T Jackson and that's who they went and got twice." He adds, "I said that they went and got him just like I'm telling you."

The Short does not explain what he means by "twice," and this article does not fill that in.

He closes the story by talking about work he already had, and about asking to punch material up so it would not be offensive. "I had that other dude's work I had all of it," he says, and "all I did was say I want to punch it up." Then, he says, "that's how I got in this position."

The fuller episode goes well beyond this one film. The Short stays with Williams's own account of a buddy-cop promise, an office meeting, a dress he did not want to wear, and a part he says went to someone else.
