Black American here 🇺🇸 I have SO MUCH respect for my Haitian cousins! The resilience and bravery of TAKING FREEDOM 🇭🇹 they deserve more props & society should shame FRANCE for the debt they’ve placed on them.
It makes my soul smile that our Haitian cousins stood on business and took their freedom back. Jess you make me proud to be a black womens with you😊 Happy New Year 🎉
I was hoping you would also address Katt calling out Shannon’s misogyny. Shannon said to Katt that you gotta treat women a certain way and talk to them with kid-gloves, and Katt immediately said “absolutely not and do you want to edit out what you just said because that’s not equal rights, sir” I love Katt!
Yesss 👏🏾👏🏾 Katt doesn’t play when it comes to the black womens. Sharpe didn’t even catch what he said as being wrong, which goes to show how he speaks/views women.
19:28 This was the first thing I peeped while watching the interview. I was like 😮 every three seconds with the bombs Katt Williams was dropping.. but I kept waiting for Sharpe to say something, anything to keep the interview going. He had zero follow up questions, zero hard hitting questions actually addressing what Katt was talking about. Katt had spilled some piping hot tea for about 30-40 minutes and finally Shannon asks him about where he grew up??? He wasn’t ready to match Katt’s energy whatsoever and you could also tell he didn’t want to stir the pot or piss anybody off so it felt like he played it very, very safe. He didn’t even have responses to anything he said half the time. Shannon just sat there mouth agape. He could have asked for receipts or something!
Jessie, I Jamaican🇯🇲, but my whole life I've tried to inform Black Americans about Haitian history because, truthfully, the Rebellion is what kicked off the independence movement for the entire Caribbean and the Americas. Please continue to speak to your American audience about this history because I believe African Americans WILL BECOME formidable allies towards the solidarity that Haiti needs in order to become something similar to what Ghana and other thriving African nations have become. You are so important to this movement whether you know it or not. Much respect and love to you, Sistaaa!
As a foundational black American, we are well aware of the Haitian revolution and we give Haitians their due respect for fighting and winning their freedom. However, black Americans are mostly focused on ourselves and our own issues with our people. We are trying to make a better future for ourselves the same way y'all are.
Hello my sista Jessica Woo I am Jamaican 🇯🇲 we are not taught about the Haitian revolution but I am doing my part in teaching my son about our history that is so conveniently overshadow. Much respect
Thank you..I realized long ago that for a longb time I believe that" they" always pinning us against each other. Can you imagine if all ot the Caribbean Islands were in unity we would be so far
@bittasw33ts3 I’m a black American and I think those of us with parents who made it a point to educate us about our history or those of us with the interest to learn ourselves do know about the Haitian revolution. I think what you said about us being allies in improving Haiti is great. Though we could all, as regular people, spend a life time just focusing on our issues in Black America, I believe those with REAL resources and influence could come together and make a difference here AND there. They could also provide some direction for those of us regular folk wanting to organize there as well. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. It just takes focus, dedication, and true care for our people throughout the diaspora, not just here. If we ever want to get tf, I’m sure we’d like a black, safe, modern, thriving country to go to that isn’t colonized to all hell and would be able to handle the influx of folks there. That takes some work. True pan africanism is what it’s going to take to free us all. The only to me concern is how would Haitians feel about a bunch of Black Americans coming in trying to make changes, even if we are coming in to support Haitian leaders? I could see how that would feel offputting to natives. It’s worth a try though
@@NamasteInYourLane As an African: I respectfully disagree with what you express here about my brothers and sisters from the States. Please, kindly bear with me here to explain as I am able to. We, Africans from our motherland recognize that the health and well being of Africa depends on our brothers and sisters in the States. If not for efforts of our brothers and sisters from the States, Africa will still be under apartheid and colonization. Trust and believe me that Nelson Mandela would have died in prison if not for relentless efforts of our brothers and sisters here in the states who were putting immense pressure on their elected officials. That was when major corporations like Cocacola and many more pulled out of South Africa which eventually led to dismantle of apartheid. So, as an African, I say to our brothers and sisters here in the states (on behalf of Africans in Africa and outside Africa), we thank you our brothers and sisters from the States. Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King and others were killed for all Africans everywhere on the globe. Rosa Parks sat for all of us so we Africans can stand where we are today and tomorrow. We Africans are you (our brothers and sisters from the States) and I hope that you accept that you are us too. Thanks.
Your statement about Haitians not collaborating extends to a broader issue among Black people in general, ranging from a lack of support within the African community to issues of tribalism and tensions between Africans and Black Americans. This situation is challenging, and I sense that those in positions of power may benefit from maintaining such divisions.
Absolutely!!! I was about to say this same thing!!! It’s sad. I wonder why that is? My family had this conversation over the holidays. Other cultures from different nations can can come together come to America and build and be prosperous, but we remain stuck in a rut. If we came together, we would come so much farther together as a people.
African American here. What you are saying is so true and it's in an issue not only with the Haitian diaspora but with the African Diaspora as a whole. We covet whiteness so much. And have absolutely no respect for our own culture, beauty, etc. It's so depressing
But we should because everyone takes from our culture. If it wasn’t beautiful, why do they do that. It will be great when we as a collective know that.
@ladybug3380 they are just as in love with whiteness as any other member of the diaspora. That is why in their country which is full of natural resources, the folks making the most of them are white
@@yvrosepierrelamothe1532 Stop the nonsense. Jamaicans and Haitians have been collaborating for forever. Dutty Boukman was Jamaican and we have welcomed hundreds of Haitians for years. Chill.
Not only was Katt Williams describing Shannon’s face as he was describing Jonathan Majors, and he didn’t say anything when he was calling Steve country and saying how he couldn’t talk he was also talking about Shannon😂
True.Also, I think Katt was trying to tell Shannon about his new position at ESPN and letting him know the powers that be can take it all away should they decide. Shannon is also known to date WW so I think Katt was warning him as well.
@@chembiz right he’s not hating or bitter, but he saying when you take short cuts like that, you might be able to flex for a little while but it will not sustain you!stay down till you come up✊🏿 Kevin went on the breakfast club talking about. He’s a boss. None of them are bosses if they have to watch what they say in their response to him so they don’t mess up their checks from their real bosses. Katt is a real boss and can say what he wants about anybody because they can’t cancel him. He has a real fan base that buys tickets to his shows and really love him as a person not some image.💯 he can’t be bought or sold
Exactly. She wanted Shannon to go further and ask Katt reading 3,000 books. We didn’t want to more about him reading 3,000 books. If you read the comments on that video ppl are thanking Shannon for not interrupting Katt and letting him speak.
@@beautyfolse4249 also, sometimes interviewers think they’re the stars of the interview and not the actual guests. So they become the story instead of what the guest is actually sharing.
As far as Claudine Gay is concerned, Haitians should be defending her, Black people should be defending her, Black women should be defending her, women should be defending her, pro-Palestinians should be defending her, pro-Israelis should be defending her, people who are for freedom of speech should be defending her, and yet no one is defending her. Typical tale of a Black woman 💔
Freedom of speech does not apply to her because Dr. Claudine Gay quoted the Havard University policy in response to Congress' question. As for the people Havard's policy protects, the people who went after Dr. Gay should have actually gone after the Board of Directors who are responsible for approving the policy and if it is in line with freedom of speech, then those people should be charged and convicted with criminal harassment.
Haitians want nothing to do with Black non-Hatian Americans. Here in America Haitians will go to great lengths to make sure folks know, they are not just any ole Black American, no no no, don't confuse a Haitian for a regular American Black person. Now WE should unify for Claudine Gay because we are Black? Haitians don't fck with Black African Black Negro Afro Americans- It's like Megan Markle moving in with the "royal family" then acting surprised they are racist, ignoring all of their racist slave colonizing history? So then it became a Black problem, nope.
😂 so defend nonsense without questions… this is why black Americans will always fall behind stop being a blind monolith. Democrats have shipped in your replacements anyway
I think Shannon was trying to create a cigar lounge, barber shop environment & it got bigger than he thought it would. It would be cool to see him take the next step as far as journalism/interviewing skills.
Black American 🇺🇸 wishing our 🇭🇹 Haitian cousins a Happy Independence Day and Bonne Année. Recently watched a video going into how Haiti ended up in the spot it’s in now compared to the DR and the response from France and America when anyone dares breathe a word about reparations and giving Haiti the respect they deserve financially is a crime against humanity. RESPECT to Jessie, RESPECT to the Haitians who keep the spirit of their ancestors alive.
It's not just a Haitian issue it's a black ppl issue as a whole....the colonization went DEEP which is why in our generation no matter which country we are living in as black ppl....most of us still think white is better.....we still think lighter skin is better....we still think "good hair" is better.....it's very sad bc as educated as we are in today world's 1 would think we would be past this by now however......we're still here mentally smh I will continue to pray for our brown ppl across the diaspora bc we need to be set FREE from the colonizers brainwashing that are so deeply rooted in us🙏🙏 which is now showing up as SELF HATE!
It is deep, even as I contemplate a doctor for my child, I am having this recurring thought that a white male doctor is best. Me always assuming a black business is going to give me attitude and lack of accountability. Ugh, trying to be better for my Black self and my black community but it's hard out here
Katt was exposing the industry. He has been successful without needing the industry. He has been spending his last years putting other people on mainly the women. He's the biggest supporter of the women out of his own pocket without asking for any credit about it. He barely speaks. When he does people listen.
🇹🇹 here...big up to our 🇭🇹 fam 🥳💯‼️ Listen this Trini absolutely adores kompa...and not to toot my own horn, but when dancing at bals, folks think your girl is Haitian 🎺🎺 🤭 Much respect to Haitian ancestors for their Warrior spirit...big up indeed!
@@WilliamsPinch I felt the comment was talking about 'the skill of interviewing'. Which is really hard. To be able to listen and ask relevant questions that not only challenge the person but as well ask questions they feel the audience would like to hear answered (and basically be able to lead the conversation organically).
Happy Haitian Independence Day, seeester!!! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 This year is my second year making the soup joumou and this time I didn't mess it up by adding too much pasta 🎉 Haiti deserves the world, and I hope I see our homeland prosper in my lifetime ❤
One part of the interview that I wish people talked about more was when he confirmed the masculinization of Black women in media and erasure of dark-skinned women. Not that we needed confirmation. But Black women have been speaking on it for years and no one cares. People have been gaslighting us into thinking it’s all in our head or straight up saying we’re just not attractive enough. They would rather a “hard faced” light-skinned woman than a beautiful dark-skinned woman which is insane. They use dark-skinned Black men in dresses to portray us in the most disgusting way. Notice how it’s rarely ever light-skinned men doing this? The media is hellb3nt on making us feel lesser than and it has successfully been working. And I can’t put 100% blame on the White man cause a lot of Black men will also gladly disparage us. *Light-skinned and non-Black women are seen as a status symbol to them because the only way they would date these Black men is for their money and success*
Yeah I used to not care about men playing women or think it was funny. I thought people against it were homophobic or didn’t understand the comedy but now that I’m mature I see that it’s a mockery or another way to picaninny us . Why don’t they ever dress as women but play a serious or respectable role. I can’t name one that didn’t perpetuate a stereotype out of Madea, Rasputia, Big Momma, Shenehneh. Like we will never see these “women” in true forms of the black women that they “take inspiration from” but in the stereotypical forms that are funny to laugh at
Exactly 💯 I'm Ghanaian-American 🇬🇭 and I love when Jessie said that! There's no reason Haiti can't be like how Ghana is now as far as the economic revitalization happening. Haiti's independence in 1804 definitely inspired Ghana's independence in 1957. Haiti was the first black country to have independence in the Northern hemisphere. Ghana was the first African country to gain independence. @Jessie I loved seeing your videos of you visiting Ghana 😊 @Jessie the vision you and other Haitians in the diaspora have, for Haiti's economic revitalization just know one day it can happen. 🇭🇹
I think Katt was saying something much bigger about Tyler Perry... He was hinting that we give Tyler too much credit. If his actors are not put in a position to grow and run their own productions one day then he is in fact a gatekeeper!
Coming from the tv/film space, on a smaller scale, I would say that it depends on the actor on what they do with the opportunity. It’s not that Tyler’s putting anybody on, but giving them an opportunity. It’s up to them where they take it. David and Tamela Mann are famous, especially in the gospel world. Keisha Knight Pulliam and her husband Brad have their own production company. Viola Davis is of course, Viola Davis. These are just a few that have passed through and/or remain in TP Productions. Knowing some that have been on their productions and don’t necessarily have “a name”, they want to keep a check and continue to do what they love. Think of it like someone who works at the post office for 30 years and never gets/asks for a promotion. Some actors are comfortable there and it’s no problem with that. Some want more. That’s not up to Tyler or any other executive in Hollywood. Now, I’m not saying there aren’t gatekeepers, however to this point, Tyler Perry Studios may or may not be a launching pad. Also, I want to clarify that we have to audition and go through the same process to get cast for his productions just like all the others. It takes the same skill to get booked on a TP show that it does to book a movie/tv show for Steven Spielberg…ijs
@@erinnmjoneshe's a billionaire who doesnt like to pay his staff well. hence all the bad wig commentary that has nothing to do with his storyline or the movie plot. A24 was allowed to keep producing movies during the strike because they were paying their writers and actors well...can Tyler Perry say the same ? if you are worth 10x more than the average actor or director then you are a gatekeeper. that's just being objective
@@morethanyourbasics he pays industry standard like any good business man would. There was a time that he didn’t, so to your point, he needed to clean that up. I was booked for 2 of his productions. I got paid industry standard, on time, and I got to wear my natural hair. Also, I did say there were gatekeepers. His method is his own method and it works for him and his productions. Again, it’s up the actor/staff on whether or not they move on to do other things. Think of all of those soap opera actors that have been in the same role for 30+ years. Eric Braeden was Victor on The Young and the Restless since 1980. Ion think he’s been “gatekeeped”. I think he found a job that he’s comfortable with doing for 4 decades. This is just my opinion and I can understand, from an audience standpoint, why some feel the way they do about TP. Lastly, he didn’t shoot during the strike, he just shoots very fast. You know who else shoots fast in a similar way? Juniper Entertainment, they shoot all of those crime reenactment shows people like to watch, Snapped, Fatal Attraction, For My Man, etc. I’ve done several of those and we as actors are suppose to come hair and makeup ready. I’m just saying there’s more going on than the public knows.
@@erinnmjones you do not become a billionaire by paying everyone fairly. I read your opinion. I respect it and I'm glad you had a good time on his set. I don't think he's the boogie man or a demon I just think he got to where he is now by being exploitative. I think Kat pointed he's not putting anyone on and it's true (to me).
Much love from Puerto Rico for the Haitian Independence celebration!!! I love learning more about history to help teach my half-Haitian nephew more and more about his heritage! I had the blessing of having Joumou from his grandma- heaven. Katt Williams finally exposed Hollyweird, he was already my favorite comedian, but now I would listen to him do his own podcast and speak for hours!
That’s why we need YOU out there. Not everyone can have a successful post cast and when I say successful, I mean asking the questions everyone want the answers to. In my opinion, you would do an excellent job if you had a podcast because you will ask the follow up questions we needs answers to. Happy Haitian Independence Day
Exactly. I’m so confused by her commentary. Shannon is literally a retired professional athlete. Not sure why she’s expecting him to be like Anderson Cooper and grill his guests??
So true... He always says he's not a journalist.. He allowed him to defend a lot of things including on other people's behalf like Bernie and Mark Curry. He has done a lot of good things for a lot of comics.. I believe a lot of people knew he was exaggerating about things like running a 4.3 and the number of books. People reviewing the interview refused to acknowledge key deep things he did say.
Jesse, Shannon had questions that he said he didn’t get to ask. He felt in the moment that it was better to let Katt go. Shannon is not trying to be a journalist, he said his podcast is set up as a conversation for all his guest. He said if anyone wants that then go to 60 minutes with Lester Holt. Katt told Shannon that he created a safe space for his guests to have open conversations.
I’m soooooo glad someone finally started calling Shannon’s interviewing skills into question! I was done with Shannon when he had our good Auntie Tabitha Brown on Club Shay Shay and said to her face that he hadn’t watched any of her content, nor did he know anything about her. His questions were a direct reflection of it too. I wanted to leap through the screen and shake him. This interview with Katt was aggravating and he should legitimately stick to sports commentary. I can’t believe he didn’t ask that man how he survived in Miami at 13 years old with no education and no family, living in parks. Whether it was true or not, Katt was literally able to tell that man anything
Jessie, I’m with you. I am upset about the Claudine Gay situation and I think it is disgusting for her to work so hard to get this position and her work be discredited and devalued in such a nasty way. She wasn’t in the position for even a year which PISSES me off.
African American here with roots in Trinidad and Tabago, Barbados, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines! 🇹🇹🇧🇧 Haitian history is some of the most *IMPORTANT* in the world and should be taught in schools, but it’s not. I happened upon Toussaint L’Overture in elementary school in the early 1970s when we had to pick a book from the library. 📚 The Haitian Revolution would make a FANTASTIC blockbuster movie, but Hollywood would never. Happy Haitian History Month!! 🇭🇹 ❤️🖤💚✊🏾
Yes Haitian over here! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹I totally agree with you on having Haiti to rise . I want Haiti to flourish and be GREAT where people can go back and live or be a tourist spot and etc.
Omg Jessie girl, i was so hype and proud to sing the Haitian National Anthem with you! I'm Bahamian🇧🇸, but my best friend since I was 5 years old taught me when we were in 3rd grade, and I've never forgotten any of the words. HAPPY HAITIAN INDEPENDENCE MONTH! 🇭🇹❤🎉
in the words of our dear sister Azealia Banks - some people simply don't have the RANGE! I peeped Shannon was out of his depth when Kirk Franklin poured out his heart about how men and women need each other emotionally and spiritually, and his follow up was some bs like 'who pays on the first date' 💀
also, not to be mean, but a symptom of lacking the range is Shannon's poor listening and comprehension skills. Plus... he's just not very smart lol. Katt was very careful with his words when describing what happened with his father, but all Shannon could do was conflate words that sounded the same, then laughed when Katt pointed out that they didn't mean the same thing. He's harmless enough though.
Listen! It was Haiti that paved the way for the rest of the Caribbean to be free. I love y’all’s resilience. Yall stay strong thru it all. I just wish the Caribbean was more connected and looked out for each other more.
GWORL!!!! Tell me why I’m trying to watch this video and my nephew here asking me what she singing. So I say she’s singing our anthem! He says I want to listen again (he’s 4). So now here we are watching the intro 11 times…. I can’t even watch the video. You called it!!!!!!! 💙❤️💙❤️
2024 is the years that Virgos bring the truth to the masses. Jessie brought the best break of this "interview" aka 3 hour Katt Williams sit down Special. I wanted to know more about the books he read, more about his current relationship with his parent and brothers. Virgos are private if you don't ask, we ain't gone volunteer additional information you're only getting vague answers.
Happy Haitian Independence!!! I love hearing Caribbean anthems in Kreyol🇬🇩! They are all so beautiful. Much love to Haiti and all my Haitian cousins ♥️💙🤍🇭🇹. God blessed me with a Haitian Grandma when my two Grenadian grandmothers passed away. So blessed to have her!!!!
I think the over all message from Katt's interview was integrity. It's the road less traveled, but you still get there when you're suppose to. And I def agree about Mo'nique. And til this day, there's people who say it was Mo'nique's delivery. They still paint her as angry.
As a black American with Haitian descendants I would want to say that Haitian people like my great great great grandfather were part of the people that helped a lot of black Americans with slavery and sharecropping and I really appreciate Haitians because of it. One thing he told my grandmother was that a lot of Black people in the diaspora forgot how unite we used to be because we never had this separation before until propaganda was made and Black people as a collective help each other. We were actually all succeeded more than if we were still in the individualistic Way. My family are still trying to figure out his 10 to 15 other siblings descendants that are in Haiti right now as we are trying to connect with them and my family is very family oriented and very helpful each other.
Jessie Woo! We need you on Fox Soul TEAGIF! I think Shannon has a great platform. He’s acknowledged that he’s not a journalist. But what he does need to do is be more prepared for his guests.
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 Listening to your passion about wanting to help Haiti, I feel the same way. I want Haiti to flourish sooo bad, but I don’t know where to start or believe I have the power. But I want soooo much more. And i feel like I can’t be proud to rep it bc I don’t how to help. But anyway. It’s good to know there are others who truly love the country and want more. We’ll find a way❤💙
I don't think the interview was really supposed to be an interview. It's just a free space to chat which I see a lot of people doing nowadays. Look at Funny Marco. I love his platform & he rarely ever has legit questions. Most of it is fluff and random questions. People love that. Journalism has changed because of the fact that people were trying to stear conversations and not letting real information flow. But yeah Shannon could've dug deeper. He needed a healthy blend of both. But anyway I love you Jessie 🩷
You completely hit the nail on the head when you talked about Katt stroking Shannon’s ego. The entire interview was a masterclass in leading an interview and talking your ish on your own terms. I will say that I think that Shannon’s manner of conversing with his guests creates an environment that makes it easy for them to say what they want and need to say. What may be perceived as a lack of pushback might also be his way of making his guest feel comfortable. It’s hard to tell, because I don’t think that that interview would have happened in a setting that is more akin to how a trained journalist would typically set things up.
Haiti 🇭🇹 Happy Independence to my Haitian brothers and sisters!! Wishing success for Haiti. May they have peace and success over their enemies 💚 from a Nigerian
Honestly I think in regards to the Color Purple, it's less about Taraji bringing attention to the disparities in Hollywood but rather simply I think a lot of people just aren't into musicals. Honestly I thought it was just me who was disappointed they redid the musical, until I started reading comments and other people said that they were to. I think those who love the musical and saw it on Broadway they were so excited to see it they ran to do so as soon as possible. However others like myself who aren't entertained by musicals may outnumber those who are.
Agreed. I loved the color purple movie. I’m definitely not into musicals. Love the actors in it but I wasn’t planning on seeing it even before Taraji spoke.
@@beewest5704 Interesting, that also may be why the numbers dropped, people went to the movies thinking they was getting one thing and got another (a musical). Although "musical " was mentioned in all the advertisements lol .
I love musicals, but I wasn't about to waste my money or time seeing something remade for the 3rd time, and for those who don't know 1. movie 2. on Broadway and 3. movie musical
Ohh my God! I got goosebumps listening to you singing our national hymn🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹. So proud to be haitian! Thank you Jess for always showing off as a haitian.
If you ask me...Katt Williams wasnt describing Johnathan. I think he was describing Shannon that whole time. It started out with Johnathan and ended with Shannon and Shannon didn't even notice😩.
Katt said they pretended it doesn't happen and that's why all the feed back from Steve, Cedric,Kevin and Rickey never addressed the main issues. Also Katt paid for Melba Moores star on the walk of fame because she deserved her flowers now while she's alive.
SS and KW are a study of the entertainment industry. Both talented men; one in sports, the other in comedy; one uses his raw explosive stength on the field, the other leans into his wit, humility and intelligence on the stage to highlight how access mediated can hinder opportunity and acceptance
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹Jessie sis! Happy to see you back. Correction: you know Soup Joumou is NOT pumpkin soup. We don’t consume pumpkins in Haiti at all. Soup Joumou is made with Squash. I don’t mean any arm; just wanted to clarify for the non Haitians followers. Americans seem to confuse pumpkins with squash but they are not the same vegetables and don’t taste the same. Joumou is Kreyol for “Giraumon” in French which is turban squash. I agree what happened to Ms. Claudine Gay is wrong; however, I am not surprised because she’s black and Haitian descent some people didn’t feel like she deserved to be there. It’s pure racism.
I agree! People would have complained if Shannon would have interrupted Katt, but the fact that he let him talk, folks STILL complained. People are very fickle....
Jessie, the queen of YT, that’s on period!!!! I want to thank you so much for speaking on the crisis in Haiti, with the announcement of Kenyans troops to the country- it’s so important to ignite a diasporic movement on this!!! As an Afro-Caribbean (🇬🇩🇹🇹) and a Canadian, I would be DOWN to support anything you want to be apart of, and would bring people I know with me!!! Like you said queen, the time is now! ❤️❤️ love you sis
Your commentary and knowledge of history had me shouting!! So proud to see young ppl not being yt washed, and embracing their heritage ✊🏽 As far as the narrative about Haitians not being together, it’s the same sickness in America! Black ppl don’t as a whole, stick together. All this has to do with the underlying white washing that goes on across the world, and throughout history ! The mentally has to change, and we have to embrace our Blackness. Until that togetherness happens, we will continue to follow what’s not good for us. Happy Independence Day Haiti! I love and embrace your tenacity🖤❤️🖤❤️
I like the fact that finally someone let their guest speak. Shannon allowed Katt to do what Katt was there to do. Shannon show is the “man cave”, not to pretend to be a journalist. Neither your UA-cam channel or your other gig dish nation provides a rebuttal on information/topics that you speak on, what’s the difference?
Just when I was bout to get in the shower and start my Saturday self care!! But I’m here for a truth teller speaking on another truth teller !! Happy New Year Jess ❤️
As a black woman, am i the only one who does not care about the Jonathan majors situation or the Nate Parker situation? Idk why black women continue to be invested in black men who are not invested in you. Are yall not tired? Like, seriously, are yall not tired of looking like fools over black men? The nate parker and Jonathan majors situations are none of black women's business. You have black women feeling some type of way because it was black woman who was questioning nate Parker. So what?! That woman was doing her job. She doesnt owe Nate Parker anything. Nate Parker and Jonathan majors dont give a dang about black women. You dont have to wish them harm but you definitely shouldn't be emotionally invested in their success.
Thank you so much for touching on the lack of journalism on Shannon Sharpe’s behalf. I was so frustrated watching the interview since he did not truly have any questions nor did he follow up with most responses.
I disagree with Jess about Shannon Sharpe...I believe he had questions ready and a direction...but Katt came there with an agenda and blindsided him..& the rest of the world...so at that moment he had to just let Katt do his thing. Almost every sentence Katt said was explosive. Imo Shay was shocked and caught off guard like the rest of us. Plus he is friends with these ppl...it was unexpected & he froze cause he didn't know how to respond.
Yup. Agreed. I think he could have had better follow-up questions, though. It might have been difficult either way because Katt seemed to go off on longer, sometimes dodging the actual question in order to, as you said, get to the point he had in mind. A journalist might have been more skilled at navigating that, which may be what she's saying as well.
@@andreawillis6800 Yes but Katt didn't want a journalist because they were going to drive the car of the interview...that's one reason why he went to Shay Shay. I give him a pass cause I was at work and froze myself just listening....& I don't know any of those folk personally
Jessie, this video is so on point. The situation with Nate Parker was ridiculous. The Birth of a Nation was a great movie. I didn’t know that’s what happened to him, but it doesn’t surprise me. They always send someone that looks like you to take you down.
Shannon couldn't keep up or get in control of his journalism because the most high don't play about Katt! He is covered in the spirit and Its gone be hard for anyone to interview that man without him controlling the conversation. WE STAND!
Exactly sis! People not paying attention to what he said all of them comedians responded and simply just attacked him individually not once did they refute what he said because they know he was telling the truth. This is what I noticed about black folks when they don't want the truth to come out they work on destroying your character and portraying you to being crazy and difficult this the same thing they did to Monique tried to make her out to be a liar and crazy. Jessie not lying about Taraji outcry affecting the movie sales because I knew a lot of people that refused to go see the movie because they felt like Oprah did Taraji wrong.
Jess this intro is EVERYTHING 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹! I loved everything you talked about in this video. As a Haitian woman, I would love to help out any I can and I still dream about being able to finally visit my ancestral home. Great video as always, you’re my go to for YT commentaries. Keep up the great content sis!❤
I was so thirsty to click this video! I was waiting on Ms. Woo to speak chy 😂😂. Your intro is as beautiful as you are girl! Keep singing and putting on for your Haitian roots. Love the history lessons- American Nigerian🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Right on with that Mo'Nique treatment. In fact, Mo'Nique was the most poised and respectful to speak on it but her STRENGTH OF CHARACTER and her HUSBAND next to her was the problem... This tells us exactly how they see us, and we cheer them on and join in to fight their battles while under cutting our own. Well said!
Those two index fingers when you sing those Haitian songs and dance take me TF out! 🤣😩😭😭😭😭 Also a stand up special while sitting the f down needs to be a title.😩🤣 Jess you covered a lot in this video everything from our own Haitians not supporting one another businesses , and how we desperately need to change. Now with the Katt interview which I can say Sharpe did double back on his podcast with Ochocinco and mentioned he had a conversation and it wasn’t really an interview but I get what you meant-he should have had a few follow up questions to those answers.I also love that you briefly touched on the Claudine Gay story. Well done👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I think it's unfortunate that this has happened to her and your right we should be conversing on it more, Harvard was disgusting in that article. Lastly if you do decide to do something in December for 2024 I would love to go and that would be awesome! Blessings and great commentary 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹
I really hope Katt sees this because you remind me of him in the fact that you are so articulate and well spoken in getting your point across. You can could talk on UA-cam for 679 hrs straight and id be there listening 😊
Shannon isn’t a journalist and he has said this numerous times on all his podcast. He is just there to have a conversation with people and people expect him to be 60 minutes.
Black American here 🇺🇸 I have SO MUCH respect for my Haitian cousins! The resilience and bravery of TAKING FREEDOM 🇭🇹 they deserve more props & society should shame FRANCE for the debt they’ve placed on them.
Facts!
💯💯💯💯💪🏿Amen
Thank you cousin ❤
It makes my soul smile that our Haitian cousins stood on business and took their freedom back. Jess you make me proud to be a black womens with you😊 Happy New Year 🎉
Love you down cousin!! 🇭🇹🇭🇹
I was hoping you would also address Katt calling out Shannon’s misogyny. Shannon said to Katt that you gotta treat women a certain way and talk to them with kid-gloves, and Katt immediately said “absolutely not and do you want to edit out what you just said because that’s not equal rights, sir”
I love Katt!
I caught that too...Katt did not come to play during that interview.
Yesss 👏🏾👏🏾 Katt doesn’t play when it comes to the black womens. Sharpe didn’t even catch what he said as being wrong, which goes to show how he speaks/views women.
@@jasmineh7736 yes Shannon has a little manosphere passport bro in him 4 sure
@@Daizy10231023 a little lol. And men love it! Unc this unc that 😒
19:28 This was the first thing I peeped while watching the interview. I was like 😮 every three seconds with the bombs Katt Williams was dropping.. but I kept waiting for Sharpe to say something, anything to keep the interview going. He had zero follow up questions, zero hard hitting questions actually addressing what Katt was talking about. Katt had spilled some piping hot tea for about 30-40 minutes and finally Shannon asks him about where he grew up??? He wasn’t ready to match Katt’s energy whatsoever and you could also tell he didn’t want to stir the pot or piss anybody off so it felt like he played it very, very safe. He didn’t even have responses to anything he said half the time. Shannon just sat there mouth agape. He could have asked for receipts or something!
I’m Cameroonian 🇨🇲 but Haitian by association so we turning up all month!!!! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹Welcome to 2024 Jessie!
🇨🇲❤️
Cameroonian here and long time follower of Jessy. 🙏🏿🌹🌹🌹
Jessie Obosso ! 😇🙌🏾🇨🇲🇭🇹
Jessie, I Jamaican🇯🇲, but my whole life I've tried to inform Black Americans about Haitian history because, truthfully, the Rebellion is what kicked off the independence movement for the entire Caribbean and the Americas. Please continue to speak to your American audience about this history because I believe African Americans WILL BECOME formidable allies towards the solidarity that Haiti needs in order to become something similar to what Ghana and other thriving African nations have become. You are so important to this movement whether you know it or not. Much respect and love to you, Sistaaa!
As a foundational black American, we are well aware of the Haitian revolution and we give Haitians their due respect for fighting and winning their freedom. However, black Americans are mostly focused on ourselves and our own issues with our people. We are trying to make a better future for ourselves the same way y'all are.
Hello my sista Jessica Woo I am Jamaican 🇯🇲 we are not taught about the Haitian revolution but I am doing my part in teaching my son about our history that is so conveniently overshadow. Much respect
Thank you..I realized long ago that for a longb time I believe that" they" always pinning us against each other. Can you imagine if all ot the Caribbean Islands were in unity we would be so far
@bittasw33ts3 I’m a black American and I think those of us with parents who made it a point to educate us about our history or those of us with the interest to learn ourselves do know about the Haitian revolution. I think what you said about us being allies in improving Haiti is great. Though we could all, as regular people, spend a life time just focusing on our issues in Black America, I believe those with REAL resources and influence could come together and make a difference here AND there. They could also provide some direction for those of us regular folk wanting to organize there as well. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. It just takes focus, dedication, and true care for our people throughout the diaspora, not just here. If we ever want to get tf, I’m sure we’d like a black, safe, modern, thriving country to go to that isn’t colonized to all hell and would be able to handle the influx of folks there. That takes some work. True pan africanism is what it’s going to take to free us all. The only to me concern is how would Haitians feel about a bunch of Black Americans coming in trying to make changes, even if we are coming in to support Haitian leaders? I could see how that would feel offputting to natives. It’s worth a try though
@@NamasteInYourLane As an African: I respectfully disagree with what you express here about my brothers and sisters from the States. Please, kindly bear with me here to explain as I am able to. We, Africans from our motherland recognize that the health and well being of Africa depends on our brothers and sisters in the States. If not for efforts of our brothers and sisters from the States, Africa will still be under apartheid and colonization. Trust and believe me that Nelson Mandela would have died in prison if not for relentless efforts of our brothers and sisters here in the states who were putting immense pressure on their elected officials. That was when major corporations like Cocacola and many more pulled out of South Africa which eventually led to dismantle of apartheid. So, as an African, I say to our brothers and sisters here in the states (on behalf of Africans in Africa and outside Africa), we thank you our brothers and sisters from the States. Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King and others were killed for all Africans everywhere on the globe. Rosa Parks sat for all of us so we Africans can stand where we are today and tomorrow. We Africans are you (our brothers and sisters from the States) and I hope that you accept that you are us too. Thanks.
Ice Cube was the only one that addressed what was said, did not deflect, slightly corrected, and overall confirmed that Katt was telling the truth.
Your statement about Haitians not collaborating extends to a broader issue among Black people in general, ranging from a lack of support within the African community to issues of tribalism and tensions between Africans and Black Americans. This situation is challenging, and I sense that those in positions of power may benefit from maintaining such divisions.
So true!
It's still the fault of white supremacy.
Absolutely!!! I was about to say this same thing!!! It’s sad. I wonder why that is? My family had this conversation over the holidays. Other cultures from different nations can can come together come to America and build and be prosperous, but we remain stuck in a rut. If we came together, we would come so much farther together as a people.
The diaspora.
African American here. What you are saying is so true and it's in an issue not only with the Haitian diaspora but with the African Diaspora as a whole. We covet whiteness so much. And have absolutely no respect for our own culture, beauty, etc. It's so depressing
Agree with everything you just said!!!
Nigerians seem to be very proud of their culture.
But we should because everyone takes from our culture. If it wasn’t beautiful, why do they do that. It will be great when we as a collective know that.
@ladybug3380 they are just as in love with whiteness as any other member of the diaspora. That is why in their country which is full of natural resources, the folks making the most of them are white
@@ladybug3380 ...Nigerians are also obsessed with whiteness!
I'm not even Haitian ( im yall's cousin 🇯🇲) and I want the intro as a standalone video. It was beautiful. 🇭🇹 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 big up uhnuh self!!

Not only was Katt Williams describing Shannon’s face as he was describing Jonathan Majors, and he didn’t say anything when he was calling Steve country and saying how he couldn’t talk he was also talking about Shannon😂
This too!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 facts
True.Also, I think Katt was trying to tell Shannon about his new position at ESPN and letting him know the powers that be can take it all away should they decide. Shannon is also known to date WW so I think Katt was warning him as well.
@@chembiz right he’s not hating or bitter, but he saying when you take short cuts like that, you might be able to flex for a little while but it will not sustain you!stay down till you come up✊🏿 Kevin went on the breakfast club talking about. He’s a boss. None of them are bosses if they have to watch what they say in their response to him so they don’t mess up their checks from their real bosses. Katt is a real boss and can say what he wants about anybody because they can’t cancel him. He has a real fan base that buys tickets to his shows and really love him as a person not some image.💯 he can’t be bought or sold
Y'all, Shannon said he is NOT a journalist but a conversationalist that creates a safe space for people to come and express themselves.
Exactly. She wanted Shannon to go further and ask Katt reading 3,000 books. We didn’t want to more about him reading 3,000 books. If you read the comments on that video ppl are thanking Shannon for not interrupting Katt and letting him speak.
EXACTLY.... Shannon's not here for all of that. This is about people chilling at the clubhouse.
@@beautyfolse4249 also, sometimes interviewers think they’re the stars of the interview and not the actual guests. So they become the story instead of what the guest is actually sharing.
Exactly wtf WASTE TIME on asking about hyperbole like i read 3000 books
@@ManUntdForever Exactly. Thats a lot of ppl’s complaint about Vlad’s interviews.
I love it here, no goes as hard for black woman and actually use their platform to inform like Jessie Woo.
So true! I love her Forreal for how much she loves us black womens!
Yes, this!!
As far as Claudine Gay is concerned, Haitians should be defending her, Black people should be defending her, Black women should be defending her, women should be defending her, pro-Palestinians should be defending her, pro-Israelis should be defending her, people who are for freedom of speech should be defending her, and yet no one is defending her. Typical tale of a Black woman 💔
Freedom of speech does not apply to her because Dr. Claudine Gay quoted the Havard University policy in response to Congress' question. As for the people Havard's policy protects, the people who went after Dr. Gay should have actually gone after the Board of Directors who are responsible for approving the policy and if it is in line with freedom of speech, then those people should be charged and convicted with criminal harassment.
I'm not standing behind that lgbtq1234 agent
Haitians want nothing to do with Black non-Hatian Americans. Here in America Haitians will go to great lengths to make sure folks know, they are not just any ole Black American, no no no, don't confuse a Haitian for a regular American Black person. Now WE should unify for Claudine Gay because we are Black? Haitians don't fck with Black African Black Negro Afro Americans- It's like Megan Markle moving in with the "royal family" then acting surprised they are racist, ignoring all of their racist slave colonizing history? So then it became a Black problem, nope.
I agree with your statement.
😂 so defend nonsense without questions… this is why black Americans will always fall behind stop being a blind monolith. Democrats have shipped in your replacements anyway
Her voice makes me teary eyed 🥹 everytime she sings. Definitely gifted and anointed to heal with her voice. Wheeewwww😮💨🙌🏾
Same I have tears in my eyes her voice is so beautiful I replayed the intro like 10 times I wish it was longer 🇭🇹
I think Shannon was trying to create a cigar lounge, barber shop environment & it got bigger than he thought it would. It would be cool to see him take the next step as far as journalism/interviewing skills.
Black American 🇺🇸 wishing our 🇭🇹 Haitian cousins a Happy Independence Day and Bonne Année. Recently watched a video going into how Haiti ended up in the spot it’s in now compared to the DR and the response from France and America when anyone dares breathe a word about reparations and giving Haiti the respect they deserve financially is a crime against humanity. RESPECT to Jessie, RESPECT to the Haitians who keep the spirit of their ancestors alive.
The vocalsssss😫 I love it here ! Happy Independence to the Haitian beauties 🇭🇹❤ from the V.I. 🇻🇮and Happy New year !
Thank you for talking about the genocide in Gaza and clarifying that it is still happening. And happy independence to Haiti!
Genocide 👀 both sides are in the wrong. It’s that simple
It's not just a Haitian issue it's a black ppl issue as a whole....the colonization went DEEP which is why in our generation no matter which country we are living in as black ppl....most of us still think white is better.....we still think lighter skin is better....we still think "good hair" is better.....it's very sad bc as educated as we are in today world's 1 would think we would be past this by now however......we're still here mentally smh
I will continue to pray for our brown ppl across the diaspora bc we need to be set FREE from the colonizers brainwashing that are so deeply rooted in us🙏🙏 which is now showing up as SELF HATE!
Yesssssssssssassssssss 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🤎
This! Colonization runs deep & it’s going take intention to overcome it
It is deep, even as I contemplate a doctor for my child, I am having this recurring thought that a white male doctor is best. Me always assuming a black business is going to give me attitude and lack of accountability. Ugh, trying to be better for my Black self and my black community but it's hard out here
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 OMG I need to give you more flowers everything it says the truth
Well said & accurate!
Katt was exposing the industry. He has been successful without needing the industry. He has been spending his last years putting other people on mainly the women. He's the biggest supporter of the women out of his own pocket without asking for any credit about it. He barely speaks. When he does people listen.
🇹🇹 here...big up to our 🇭🇹 fam 🥳💯‼️ Listen this Trini absolutely adores kompa...and not to toot my own horn, but when dancing at bals, folks think your girl is Haitian 🎺🎺 🤭 Much respect to Haitian ancestors for their Warrior spirit...big up indeed!
Jessie, your analysis, your communication ability, your observational skills, your assessment, memory, research skills. I just enjoy your perspective.
Standing with my Haitian cousins. 🇯🇲🇭🇹. Katt killed Mr Sharpie, that was a great standup- sit-down special
As a former television news producer… BRING BACK JOURNALISTS!! I’m so tired of these random interviewers with NO formal education!!!
You took the words from my head. It seems everyone and their mother starts a podcast when you get a following/audience.
I am so curious what interview you talking about sorry if I asked
People want a regular person doing the interviews they are tire of the pc talk and tip toeing
If formal Journalism was honest, it would still be popular…
@@WilliamsPinch I felt the comment was talking about 'the skill of interviewing'. Which is really hard. To be able to listen and ask relevant questions that not only challenge the person but as well ask questions they feel the audience would like to hear answered (and basically be able to lead the conversation organically).
Happy Haitian Independence Day, seeester!!! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

One part of the interview that I wish people talked about more was when he confirmed the masculinization of Black women in media and erasure of dark-skinned women. Not that we needed confirmation. But Black women have been speaking on it for years and no one cares.
People have been gaslighting us into thinking it’s all in our head or straight up saying we’re just not attractive enough. They would rather a “hard faced” light-skinned woman than a beautiful dark-skinned woman which is insane. They use dark-skinned Black men in dresses to portray us in the most disgusting way. Notice how it’s rarely ever light-skinned men doing this?
The media is hellb3nt on making us feel lesser than and it has successfully been working. And I can’t put 100% blame on the White man cause a lot of Black men will also gladly disparage us. *Light-skinned and non-Black women are seen as a status symbol to them because the only way they would date these Black men is for their money and success*
(Side note: They way he draggedddd Jonathan Majors oh my god I didn’t know I needed that 😭 called him a slave and everything 😭😭whew)
What's Fucking Funny about THAT! 😐
@@RoboThot3000 Is your Colorist ASS 😒🫵 Okay?
Yeah I used to not care about men playing women or think it was funny. I thought people against it were homophobic or didn’t understand the comedy but now that I’m mature I see that it’s a mockery or another way to picaninny us . Why don’t they ever dress as women but play a serious or respectable role. I can’t name one that didn’t perpetuate a stereotype out of Madea, Rasputia, Big Momma, Shenehneh. Like we will never see these “women” in true forms of the black women that they “take inspiration from” but in the stereotypical forms that are funny to laugh at
"There is no reason Haiti shouldn't be Ghana!" Love that, so true. And I hope live to see that day!
Exactly 💯 I'm Ghanaian-American 🇬🇭 and I love when Jessie said that! There's no reason Haiti can't be like how Ghana is now as far as the economic revitalization happening. Haiti's independence in 1804 definitely inspired Ghana's independence in 1957. Haiti was the first black country to have independence in the Northern hemisphere. Ghana was the first African country to gain independence. @Jessie I loved seeing your videos of you visiting Ghana 😊
@Jessie the vision you and other Haitians in the diaspora have, for Haiti's economic revitalization just know one day it can happen. 🇭🇹
I think Katt was saying something much bigger about Tyler Perry... He was hinting that we give Tyler too much credit. If his actors are not put in a position to grow and run their own productions one day then he is in fact a gatekeeper!
Facts!
Coming from the tv/film space, on a smaller scale, I would say that it depends on the actor on what they do with the opportunity. It’s not that Tyler’s putting anybody on, but giving them an opportunity. It’s up to them where they take it. David and Tamela Mann are famous, especially in the gospel world. Keisha Knight Pulliam and her husband Brad have their own production company. Viola Davis is of course, Viola Davis. These are just a few that have passed through and/or remain in TP Productions. Knowing some that have been on their productions and don’t necessarily have “a name”, they want to keep a check and continue to do what they love. Think of it like someone who works at the post office for 30 years and never gets/asks for a promotion. Some actors are comfortable there and it’s no problem with that. Some want more. That’s not up to Tyler or any other executive in Hollywood. Now, I’m not saying there aren’t gatekeepers, however to this point, Tyler Perry Studios may or may not be a launching pad. Also, I want to clarify that we have to audition and go through the same process to get cast for his productions just like all the others. It takes the same skill to get booked on a TP show that it does to book a movie/tv show for Steven Spielberg…ijs
@@erinnmjoneshe's a billionaire who doesnt like to pay his staff well. hence all the bad wig commentary that has nothing to do with his storyline or the movie plot.
A24 was allowed to keep producing movies during the strike because they were paying their writers and actors well...can Tyler Perry say the same ?
if you are worth 10x more than the average actor or director then you are a gatekeeper. that's just being objective
@@morethanyourbasics he pays industry standard like any good business man would. There was a time that he didn’t, so to your point, he needed to clean that up. I was booked for 2 of his productions. I got paid industry standard, on time, and I got to wear my natural hair. Also, I did say there were gatekeepers. His method is his own method and it works for him and his productions. Again, it’s up the actor/staff on whether or not they move on to do other things. Think of all of those soap opera actors that have been in the same role for 30+ years. Eric Braeden was Victor on The Young and the Restless since 1980. Ion think he’s been “gatekeeped”. I think he found a job that he’s comfortable with doing for 4 decades. This is just my opinion and I can understand, from an audience standpoint, why some feel the way they do about TP. Lastly, he didn’t shoot during the strike, he just shoots very fast. You know who else shoots fast in a similar way? Juniper Entertainment, they shoot all of those crime reenactment shows people like to watch, Snapped, Fatal Attraction, For My Man, etc. I’ve done several of those and we as actors are suppose to come hair and makeup ready. I’m just saying there’s more going on than the public knows.
@@erinnmjones you do not become a billionaire by paying everyone fairly.
I read your opinion. I respect it and I'm glad you had a good time on his set. I don't think he's the boogie man or a demon I just think he got to where he is now by being exploitative. I think Kat pointed he's not putting anyone on and it's true (to me).
Much love from Puerto Rico for the Haitian Independence celebration!!! I love learning more about history to help teach my half-Haitian nephew more and more about his heritage! I had the blessing of having Joumou from his grandma- heaven.
Katt Williams finally exposed Hollyweird, he was already my favorite comedian, but now I would listen to him do his own podcast and speak for hours!
Jessie I am really inspired by how you speak out for what is right and how educated you are on all these issues. Never stop!!!!
Facts! Everyone that Katt mentioned responded but none of them said he was lying they tip toed around what he said.
We need Wendy Williams. Her and Katt at a table would be legendary 😢
Does he like her enough for that? Even though I know she would try to get “the tea”
I don’t know. They would be shading each other during the entire interview. 😏
Katt Williams Special 2024.... was on point!
Jess 🥺🥺🥺 not you almost had me shed a tear on the intro. Chills sis chills 👏🏾 shoutout us descendants of the first black republic 🇭🇹
That’s why we need YOU out there. Not everyone can have a successful post cast and when I say successful, I mean asking the questions everyone want the answers to. In my opinion, you would do an excellent job if you had a podcast because you will ask the follow up questions we needs answers to. Happy Haitian Independence Day
Agreed
Shannon Sharpe said he is not an interviewer rather he (Shannon) provides a safe space to have a conversation, Similar to barbershop talk.
Exactly. I’m so confused by her commentary. Shannon is literally a retired professional athlete. Not sure why she’s expecting him to be like Anderson Cooper and grill his guests??
So true... He always says he's not a journalist.. He allowed him to defend a lot of things including on other people's behalf like Bernie and Mark Curry. He has done a lot of good things for a lot of comics.. I believe a lot of people knew he was exaggerating about things like running a 4.3 and the number of books. People reviewing the interview refused to acknowledge key deep things he did say.
Jesse, Shannon had questions that he said he didn’t get to ask. He felt in the moment that it was better to let Katt go.
Shannon is not trying to be a journalist, he said his podcast is set up as a conversation for all his guest. He said if anyone wants that then go to 60 minutes with Lester Holt. Katt told Shannon that he created a safe space for his guests to have open conversations.
I’m soooooo glad someone finally started calling Shannon’s interviewing skills into question!
I was done with Shannon when he had our good Auntie Tabitha Brown on Club Shay Shay and said to her face that he hadn’t watched any of her content, nor did he know anything about her. His questions were a direct reflection of it too. I wanted to leap through the screen and shake him. This interview with Katt was aggravating and he should legitimately stick to sports commentary. I can’t believe he didn’t ask that man how he survived in Miami at 13 years old with no education and no family, living in parks. Whether it was true or not, Katt was literally able to tell that man anything
Well he started this podcast three years ago. Give him grace to grow in this space.
@@chafrajayfra32 you are absolutely right.
He certainly needs to at least know the background of the guests you have on your show.
Katt was ready and waiting to get all that off his chest.He barely let Shannon ask him questions, this interview had everybody shook 😂
That intro was 🔥. Need the full version. Jessie can SANG.
As a Jamaican/Haitian thank you Jess 🇯🇲🇭🇹🇯🇲🇭🇹🇯🇲
Jessie, I’m with you. I am upset about the Claudine Gay situation and I think it is disgusting for her to work so hard to get this position and her work be discredited and devalued in such a nasty way. She wasn’t in the position for even a year which PISSES me off.

Haitian history is some of the most *IMPORTANT* in the world and should be taught in schools, but it’s not.
I happened upon Toussaint L’Overture in elementary school in the early 1970s when we had to pick a book from the library. 📚

Omg Jessie girl, i was so hype and proud to sing the Haitian National Anthem with you! I'm Bahamian🇧🇸, but my best friend since I was 5 years old taught me when we were in 3rd grade, and I've never forgotten any of the words. HAPPY HAITIAN INDEPENDENCE MONTH! 🇭🇹❤🎉
in the words of our dear sister Azealia Banks - some people simply don't have the RANGE! I peeped Shannon was out of his depth when Kirk Franklin poured out his heart about how men and women need each other emotionally and spiritually, and his follow up was some bs like 'who pays on the first date' 💀
also, not to be mean, but a symptom of lacking the range is Shannon's poor listening and comprehension skills. Plus... he's just not very smart lol. Katt was very careful with his words when describing what happened with his father, but all Shannon could do was conflate words that sounded the same, then laughed when Katt pointed out that they didn't mean the same thing. He's harmless enough though.
Listen! It was Haiti that paved the way for the rest of the Caribbean to be free. I love y’all’s resilience. Yall stay strong thru it all. I just wish the Caribbean was more connected and looked out for each other more.
GWORL!!!! Tell me why I’m trying to watch this video and my nephew here asking me what she singing. So I say she’s singing our anthem! He says I want to listen again (he’s 4). So now here we are watching the intro 11 times…. I can’t even watch the video. You called it!!!!!!! 💙❤️💙❤️
2024 is the years that Virgos bring the truth to the masses. Jessie brought the best break of this "interview" aka 3 hour Katt Williams sit down Special. I wanted to know more about the books he read, more about his current relationship with his parent and brothers. Virgos are private if you don't ask, we ain't gone volunteer additional information you're only getting vague answers.
💯 ♍️
Not with this star sign staff , wow, literally anyone born in any month has and does all these things you said, literally
I think most people were glad there were no pushback from Shannon Sharpe we wouldn’t have gotten all that tea 😳😳😳
Happy Haitian Independence!!! I love hearing Caribbean anthems in Kreyol🇬🇩! They are all so beautiful. Much love to Haiti and all my Haitian cousins ♥️💙🤍🇭🇹. God blessed me with a Haitian Grandma when my two Grenadian grandmothers passed away. So blessed to have her!!!!
I think the over all message from Katt's interview was integrity. It's the road less traveled, but you still get there when you're suppose to. And I def agree about Mo'nique. And til this day, there's people who say it was Mo'nique's delivery. They still paint her as angry.
Haitians were the original gangstas! Shout out from your sister Caribbean island, Barbados.
As a black American with Haitian descendants I would want to say that Haitian people like my great great great grandfather were part of the people that helped a lot of black Americans with slavery and sharecropping and I really appreciate Haitians because of it. One thing he told my grandmother was that a lot of Black people in the diaspora forgot how unite we used to be because we never had this separation before until propaganda was made and Black people as a collective help each other. We were actually all succeeded more than if we were still in the individualistic Way. My family are still trying to figure out his 10 to 15 other siblings descendants that are in Haiti right now as we are trying to connect with them and my family is very family oriented and very helpful each other.
I appreciate that intro jessie and I agree that this generation has what it takes to bring Haiti to the top where it should be🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
One thing Jess gon do is tell you she Haitian and put on for Haiti! Happy Haitian Independence and Bonne Ane! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

I think Shannon has a great platform. He’s acknowledged that he’s not a journalist. But what he does need to do is be more prepared for his guests.
I agree! I just said she will make a great permanent 3rd host. When Funky left, I immediately said Ms. Woo would be perfect!

But anyway. It’s good to know there are others who truly love the country and want more. We’ll find a way❤💙
Same here!
Same 🇭🇹
I don't think the interview was really supposed to be an interview. It's just a free space to chat which I see a lot of people doing nowadays. Look at Funny Marco. I love his platform & he rarely ever has legit questions. Most of it is fluff and random questions. People love that. Journalism has changed because of the fact that people were trying to stear conversations and not letting real information flow. But yeah Shannon could've dug deeper. He needed a healthy blend of both. But anyway I love you Jessie 🩷
You completely hit the nail on the head when you talked about Katt stroking Shannon’s ego. The entire interview was a masterclass in leading an interview and talking your ish on your own terms. I will say that I think that Shannon’s manner of conversing with his guests creates an environment that makes it easy for them to say what they want and need to say. What may be perceived as a lack of pushback might also be his way of making his guest feel comfortable. It’s hard to tell, because I don’t think that that interview would have happened in a setting that is more akin to how a trained journalist would typically set things up.
Haiti 🇭🇹
Happy Independence to my Haitian brothers and sisters!!
Wishing success for Haiti. May they have peace and success over their enemies
💚 from a Nigerian
Omg Jess you nailed it queen everyone that responded never said that katt is lying which means Katt is not lying…
🇭🇹 Gonaïves all the way.
The “Kanal la pap kanpe” movement makes me hopeful for my people! I appreciate Dr. Bertrhude’s work and platform!
I love her work ❤️
Honestly I think in regards to the Color Purple, it's less about Taraji bringing attention to the disparities in Hollywood but rather simply I think a lot of people just aren't into musicals. Honestly I thought it was just me who was disappointed they redid the musical, until I started reading comments and other people said that they were to. I think those who love the musical and saw it on Broadway they were so excited to see it they ran to do so as soon as possible. However others like myself who aren't entertained by musicals may outnumber those who are.
I was thinking this. Very well stated. Thank you!
Many ppl didn't even know its a musical. It's insane.
Agreed. I loved the color purple movie. I’m definitely not into musicals. Love the actors in it but I wasn’t planning on seeing it even before Taraji spoke.
@@beewest5704 Interesting, that also may be why the numbers dropped, people went to the movies thinking they was getting one thing and got another (a musical). Although "musical " was mentioned in all the advertisements lol .
I love musicals, but I wasn't about to waste my money or time seeing something remade for the 3rd time, and for those who don't know 1. movie 2. on Broadway and 3. movie musical
I stubbed my toe running to this video 😂❤
Girl! Jessie delayed my Saturday morning routine by 55 minutes!😂
Lmaooooo
Ohh my God! I got goosebumps listening to you singing our national hymn🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹. So proud to be haitian! Thank you Jess for always showing off as a haitian.
you are so right about shannon sharp!!! seems like he isn't trying to piss too many ppl off....
Facts!!
If you ask me...Katt Williams wasnt describing Johnathan. I think he was describing Shannon that whole time. It started out with Johnathan and ended with Shannon and Shannon didn't even notice😩.
I don't feel like Johnathan has a big jaw. That sounds like Crimson Jaw Shannon to me.
Can you chill?? 😂😂😂
He even pointed at him too 😅😂
@@mango7966 and Shannon just sitting there chuckling🥴 like a big doof.
Katt said they pretended it doesn't happen and that's why all the feed back from Steve, Cedric,Kevin and Rickey never addressed the main issues. Also Katt paid for Melba Moores star on the walk of fame because she deserved her flowers now while she's alive.
Every black person everywhere needs to support Haiti!!!.. we're allowing race's poison our minds about Haiti.....😢
SS and KW are a study of the entertainment industry. Both talented men; one in sports, the other in comedy; one uses his raw explosive stength on the field, the other leans into his wit, humility and intelligence on the stage to highlight how access mediated can hinder opportunity and acceptance
Yes 😊
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹Jessie sis! Happy to see you back. Correction: you know Soup Joumou is NOT pumpkin soup. We don’t consume pumpkins in Haiti at all. Soup Joumou is made with Squash. I don’t mean any arm; just wanted to clarify for the non Haitians followers. Americans seem to confuse pumpkins with squash but they are not the same vegetables and don’t taste the same. Joumou is Kreyol for “Giraumon” in French which is turban squash. I agree what happened to Ms. Claudine Gay is wrong; however, I am not surprised because she’s black and Haitian descent some people didn’t feel like she deserved to be there. It’s pure racism.
I think Shannon did a great job and let him talk. It was a great interview and it’s doing crazy numbers. ❤
I agree! People would have complained if Shannon would have interrupted Katt, but the fact that he let him talk, folks STILL complained.
People are very fickle....
Jessie, the queen of YT, that’s on period!!!!
I want to thank you so much for speaking on the crisis in Haiti, with the announcement of Kenyans troops to the country- it’s so important to ignite a diasporic movement on this!!! As an Afro-Caribbean (🇬🇩🇹🇹) and a Canadian, I would be DOWN to support anything you want to be apart of, and would bring people I know with me!!! Like you said queen, the time is now! ❤️❤️ love you sis
Your commentary and knowledge of history had me shouting!! So proud to see young ppl not being yt washed, and embracing their heritage ✊🏽 As far as the narrative about Haitians not being together, it’s the same sickness in America! Black ppl don’t as a whole, stick together. All this has to do with the underlying white washing that goes on across the world, and throughout history ! The mentally has to change, and we have to embrace our Blackness. Until that togetherness happens, we will continue to follow what’s not good for us. Happy Independence Day Haiti! I love and embrace your tenacity🖤❤️🖤❤️
You're right. Katt interviewed himself. Shannon fumbled the ball with no follow-up questions to anything.
I like the fact that finally someone let their guest speak. Shannon allowed Katt to do what Katt was there to do. Shannon show is the “man cave”, not to pretend to be a journalist. Neither your UA-cam channel or your other gig dish nation provides a rebuttal on information/topics that you speak on, what’s the difference?
Agreed. Shannon did a good job letting this man speak his mind.
Just when I was bout to get in the shower and start my Saturday self care!! But I’m here for a truth teller speaking on another truth teller !! Happy New Year Jess ❤️
As a black woman, am i the only one who does not care about the Jonathan majors situation or the Nate Parker situation?
Idk why black women continue to be invested in black men who are not invested in you. Are yall not tired? Like, seriously, are yall not tired of looking like fools over black men?
The nate parker and Jonathan majors situations are none of black women's business. You have black women feeling some type of way because it was black woman who was questioning nate Parker. So what?! That woman was doing her job. She doesnt owe Nate Parker anything. Nate Parker and Jonathan majors dont give a dang about black women. You dont have to wish them harm but you definitely shouldn't be emotionally invested in their success.
🎯🎯🎯
The way I instantly turned into a Dame Missionaire when you said “Mwen pa geyen lajan pou’m ba ou…..”
Your voice is sooo angelic! I love hearing you sing!
Thank you so much for touching on the lack of journalism on Shannon Sharpe’s behalf. I was so frustrated watching the interview since he did not truly have any questions nor did he follow up with most responses.
♥️ All ♍️ VIRGO’s
Cassie, Taraji and Katt.
Is it a coincidence!?
There are no coincidences
We tired sis.. it’s time!
Virgo gang ♍️
I disagree with Jess about Shannon Sharpe...I believe he had questions ready and a direction...but Katt came there with an agenda and blindsided him..& the rest of the world...so at that moment he had to just let Katt do his thing. Almost every sentence Katt said was explosive. Imo Shay was shocked and caught off guard like the rest of us. Plus he is friends with these ppl...it was unexpected & he froze cause he didn't know how to respond.
Exactly. That's what he said on Nightcap.
Yup. Agreed. I think he could have had better follow-up questions, though. It might have been difficult either way because Katt seemed to go off on longer, sometimes dodging the actual question in order to, as you said, get to the point he had in mind. A journalist might have been more skilled at navigating that, which may be what she's saying as well.
@@andreawillis6800 Yes but Katt didn't want a journalist because they were going to drive the car of the interview...that's one reason why he went to Shay Shay. I give him a pass cause I was at work and froze myself just listening....& I don't know any of those folk personally
Jessie, this video is so on point. The situation with Nate Parker was ridiculous. The Birth of a Nation was a great movie. I didn’t know that’s what happened to him, but it doesn’t surprise me. They always send someone that looks like you to take you down.
Shannon couldn't keep up or get in control of his journalism because the most high don't play about Katt! He is covered in the spirit and Its gone be hard for anyone to interview that man without him controlling the conversation. WE STAND!
Exactly sis! People not paying attention to what he said all of them comedians responded and simply just attacked him individually not once did they refute what he said because they know he was telling the truth. This is what I noticed about black folks when they don't want the truth to come out they work on destroying your character and portraying you to being crazy and difficult this the same thing they did to Monique tried to make her out to be a liar and crazy. Jessie not lying about Taraji outcry affecting the movie sales because I knew a lot of people that refused to go see the movie because they felt like Oprah did Taraji wrong.
Jess this intro is EVERYTHING 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹! I loved everything you talked about in this video. As a Haitian woman, I would love to help out any I can and I still dream about being able to finally visit my ancestral home. Great video as always, you’re my go to for YT commentaries. Keep up the great content sis!❤
I was so thirsty to click this video! I was waiting on Ms. Woo to speak chy 😂😂. Your intro is as beautiful as you are girl! Keep singing and putting on for your Haitian roots. Love the history lessons- American Nigerian🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Here for it & love it for us 🇭🇹 💯🙏💋🫶♥️🤞
Right on with that Mo'Nique treatment. In fact, Mo'Nique was the most poised and respectful to speak on it but her STRENGTH OF CHARACTER and her HUSBAND next to her was the problem... This tells us exactly how they see us, and we cheer them on and join in to fight their battles while under cutting our own. Well said!
Those two index fingers when you sing those Haitian songs and dance take me TF out! 🤣😩😭😭😭😭
Also a stand up special while sitting the f down needs to be a title.😩🤣
Jess you covered a lot in this video everything from our own Haitians not supporting one another businesses , and how we desperately need to change. Now with the Katt interview which I can say Sharpe did double back on his podcast with Ochocinco and mentioned he had a conversation and it wasn’t really an interview but I get what you meant-he should have had a few follow up questions to those answers.I also love that you briefly touched on the Claudine Gay story. Well done👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I think it's unfortunate that this has happened to her and your right we should be conversing on it more, Harvard was disgusting in that article. Lastly if you do decide to do something in December for 2024 I would love to go and that would be awesome! Blessings and great commentary 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹
Kat has everybody going crazy 😝 . It’s hilarious
I really hope Katt sees this because you remind me of him in the fact that you are so articulate and well spoken in getting your point across. You can could talk on UA-cam for 679 hrs straight and id be there listening 😊
Shannon isn’t a journalist and he has said this numerous times on all his podcast. He is just there to have a conversation with people and people expect him to be 60 minutes.
Jessie your analytical skills are top-notch!👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I found out I have Haitian ancestry recently. I feel so connected to you. Thank you for being you. ❤
🇭🇹Haiti the world owes you big time!!!❤️✊🏾🖤🤎
