Katt Williams Wins Kevin Hart Beef? 'Woke Foke' Beats Tom Brady Roast On Netflix Charts Despite Criticism
Katt Williams appears to have gotten the last laugh in his feud with Kevin Hart as the former's new comedy special trumped "The Roast of Tom Brady" on Netflix charts.
Both "Katt Williams: Woke Foke" and "Roast of Tom Brady" debuted on Netflix's latest rankings of its most-watched shows in the U.S. and the world.
In both charts, Williams' stand-up special outperformed the comedy special hosted by Hart.
"Woke Foke," which debuted on May 4, ranked fourth on the Global Top 10 list after raking in 4 million views worldwide.

"The Roast of Tom Brady," which aired the day after, came in sixth place after garnering 2 million views worldwide.
The roast special had more hours viewed at 6.2 million compared to "Woke Foke's" 4.1 million, but the former's running time is three times longer than that of Williams' one-hour comedy special.
In the U.S., "Woke Foke" debuted at No. 2, while "The Roast of Tom Brady" ranked fifth on the chart.
"Woke Foke" marked Netflix's second-ever live stand-up comedy special since "Chris Rock: Selective Outrage."
During his live show, Williams cracked jokes about a wide range of topics, including reparations, Ozempic and his viral "Club Shay Shay" podcast interview.
The comedian also took shots at many celebrities, such as Nick Cannon, Robert De Niro, Oprah Winfrey and Diddy.
Despite the hype, however, Williams' performance received a 28% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and mixed reviews from viewers.
"The entire 'special' is a bunch of old recycled jokes you could hear him do on YouTube. I've already heard it all. And this was supposed to be new as of a week ago. But I recognized all the punchlines. Very disappointing," one Reddit user commented.
Another wrote, "After he spent hours ranting about how he's the only comedian who consistently churns out new jokes -- that's embarrassing. Sounds like everyone's favorite 'truth teller' is full of it. Shocker."
Meanwhile, Hart received praise online for his performance at the Tom Brady roast.
"Kevin Hart absolutely crushing the opening of this roast. Going straight for the throat off the rip," one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The new specials came after Williams reignited his beef with Hart during his January appearance on "Club Shay Shay."
Williams accused Hart of being an industry plant and having had his career handed to him. He also suggested that Hart often stole movie roles from him.
Hart has since responded to Williams' jabs and accusations, writing on X: "Gotta get that anger up outcha champ....It's honestly sad."
Hart also told WSJ. Magazine in March: "It's entertainment. If that's what he fuels himself off, God bless him. Good for him. I hope he gets all that he needs and he wants, and I'm here cheering for him from afar."
He added that he was so "happy and secure" in his career and life that he holds no grudges toward his fellow comic.
