Angel Reese Becomes the Target of a Savage Katt Williams Roast
Angel Reese becomes a comedic punchline
In a recent viral clip, legendary comedian Katt Williams delivered a sly jab at rising WNBA star Angel Reese that quickly stirred the internet. During a stand-up-style rant shared across TikTok and Instagram, Williams jokingly compared his basketball skills to Reese’s, saying:
“I’m not Angel Reese—I’m 99% on my layups. My layup is my dunk.”
The joke played off Reese’s reputation as a dominant force in women’s basketball, known for her bold court presence and ability to finish strong near the rim. While Williams clearly exaggerated for comedic effect, the line had enough sting to spark debate—and once again spotlight how deeply Reese has embedded herself in pop culture.
What made the moment notable wasn’t just the joke itself—it was that it happened at all. Reese, once considered just another talented college athlete, has now become so culturally relevant that she’s being name-dropped by one of comedy’s most iconic voices. That shift from athlete to icon is what makes this jab resonate.
Katt Williams delivers a classic Williams-style roast
This wasn’t Katt Williams being cruel—it was Katt Williams being Katt Williams. A master of clever exaggeration and comedic swagger, he’s made a career out of fearless jabs at high-profile figures. From politicians to rappers to athletes, no one’s off-limits. His latest target: the “Bayou Barbie” herself.
By boasting that he’s “99% on layups” and that his layup is his dunk, Williams wasn’t mocking Reese’s skills. He was using her dominance as a reference point to make himself sound absurdly superhuman—classic misdirection, classic Williams. It’s what fans love him for.
Still, the comment wasn’t without backlash. While some fans laughed along and called it “typical Katt,” others felt the shade was unnecessary or out of pocket. Whether it was shade or satire depends on your read—but either way, it added fuel to Reese’s rising profile.
Angel Reese’s star power is now comedy material
This moment confirms what many already know: Angel Reese is no longer “just” an athlete—she’s a cultural force. In less than two years, she’s gone from leading LSU to a national championship to becoming one of the most talked-about rookies in the WNBA, with global brand deals, viral moments, and magazine covers under her belt.
She’s even appeared in music videos and social campaigns—so it’s no surprise she’s now part of comedy routines. In today’s celebrity landscape, getting roasted is part of the price of fame—and Reese is clearly at that level.
What’s telling is that she didn’t have to respond for the moment to go viral. That’s how visible she is. One offhand joke from Williams led to thousands of views, memes, tweets, and fan commentary. And Reese’s supporters were quick to defend her.
One user on X posted:
“Katt Williams really trying Angel Reese like that?! Better hope she doesn’t dunk on him in a TikTok.”
Others took it as a compliment in disguise, saying that when comedians mention you, you’ve made it.
Katt Williams, Angel Reese, and the power of the pop-culture crossover
There’s something significant about an athlete becoming so well-known that comedians, influencers, and talk show hosts feel comfortable making them the punchline of a joke. It’s not mockery—it’s mainstreaming.
That’s where Angel Reese is today, and Katt Williams cemented it with just one line. His joke may have been cutting, but it also served as proof that Reese is in the same conversation as the culture’s biggest names.
It also shows how sports and entertainment have become fully intertwined. Reese is part of a generation of athletes whose careers exist as much online and in headlines as they do on the court. She’s bold, unapologetic, and camera-ready—everything pop culture feeds on.
Williams, for his part, used her name the same way comedians once used Jordan, Iverson, or Serena—as a cultural shorthand for confidence and dominance. You don’t take a shot at someone irrelevant. You aim high—and Reese is exactly that.
Final thoughts: it’s all in good fun—until it’s not
At the end of the day, this moment wasn’t designed to hurt. It was a pop-culture jab meant to entertain. Katt Williams got his laugh, and Angel Reese got another boost in visibility—whether she asked for it or not.
What remains to be seen is whether Reese will respond. Will she use her TikTok savvy to clap back? Drop a cheeky interview line? Or just let her game do the talking?
Either way, it’s clear she’s already in a league of her own. When someone like Katt Williams uses your name in a punchline, it means you’ve arrived. And when the internet stops to talk about it—you stay.
