Rickey Smiley Morning Show
Rickey Smiley is doubling down on being the first choice for Katt Williams‘ “Money Mike” role in Ice Cube‘s “Friday After Next” — after Katt called him a liar — and says they just changed the role!!!
On Thursday, Rickey cleared the air on his morning show and tackled KW’s explosive interview from Shannon Sharpe‘s “Club Shay Shay” head-on.
Katt snapped on several prominent Black comedians — Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer and Kevin Hart all got snubbed — but Katt especially ripped apart Rickey’s acting abilities.

Rickey noted how Flip Wilson, Richard Pryor, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx all played female characters in the past and it didn’t disrupt their legacies … despite Katt hinting it was a down payment to an Illuminati membership!!!
After Katt auditioned, Cube and the producers gave him the part and allowed him to add his own flair to the role — a move Rickey says he agreed with, as it became KW’s breakout role in Hollywood.
Katt said Rickey — who ended up playing Santa in the movie — threw a hissy fit about the switcheroo while they were filming … which is why he got included in his comedian blender.
