We’re less than two weeks into 2024 and it’s already been one of the most violent years I can remember, thanks to two vicious videos.
The first involves Katt Williams, who destroyed everyone with whom he has a grudge during a recent interview on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast.

Look at the time stamp on that video. It’s almost one hour long! You know how much smoke you need to have for a person to talk about them for nearly an hour straight with no interruptions? This is next-level hating, and I gotta be honest, I loved to see it (along with the rest of Black and sports Twitter).
While I can’t include everything he said about Whitlock (it was a lot), there are some things he said about the conservative commentator that especially stood out.
Stephen A. Smith closes out his hour-long live stream about Jason Whitlock.
"He is the worst human being any of you will ever meet. You get within a mile of his presence, wrap your arms around yourself to protect your soul."

To close out his hatefest, Smith ended on a high (or low note), stating, “He is the worst human being any of you will ever meet. You get within a mile of his presence, wrap your arms around yourself to protect your soul.”
Lord. My most hated enemy hasn’t even said words that cut that deep.
To no surprise, Black Twitter reacted swiftly. For the most part, they have collectively joined in on the annihilation of Whitlock.
Katt Williams and Stephen A Smith got promo of the year so far. We are clearly on the road to niggamania.

Oof. We haven’t seen this many people join in on the bulldozing of one person since…Jonathan Majors earlier this week.
We should’ve known from Williams’ interview that we should’ve ducked and covered ourselves from all the shots that are going to be fired in 2024.
