Jess Hilarious has made a bold suggestion, claiming that Nicki Minaj inviting Katt Williams on her tour may be due to poor ticket sales.
The rapper is just one week away from kicking off her ‘Pink Friday 2‘ Tour on March 1, and the possible addition of bringing Williams on the road has Jess thinking it’s supposedly due to lackluster demand.
Jess Hilarious Comments On Nicki Minaj Wanting Katt Williams On The PF2 Tour
The ‘Breakfast Club’ co-host made the remark in a new episode of ‘Jess With The Mess: Uncut,’ where she brings up Minaj recently saying she wants Williams to be part of her tour in some capacity.
“When the f**k did Nicki and Katt Williams even have a f**ing relationship? To put him on your tour?” the 32-year-old said.

Jess followed up by insisting that people “who do things like this” are because their tours usually aren’t selling.
#JessHilarious says she thinks #NickiMinaj wants to add #KattWilliams to her tour because it’s “not selling”.

In a last-minute attempt to boost those numbers, it’s implied that Williams was being considered to increase the overall interest and demand for the North American run.
“Maybe it isn’t,” she added. But the former Wild ‘n Out star gave another take on the situation, wondering whether the current state of the economy could be blamed for why Minaj wants Williams on her tour.
She proceeded by joking about the people who went above and beyond just to see Beyoncé on her Renaissance Tour last year to make her point that times are tough.
“It’s totally expected to not sell out tours. No icon, no matter how big or small, is exempt from promotion. You promoted that album, you did interviews, you popped out, you promoted ‘Hiss.’ […] So, we’re going to have Nicki, Monica and Katt Willams. Mind you, Katt Williams hasn’t responded yet.”
As Jess aleady stated, Williams hasn’t publicly responded to Minaj’s request to get him on her tour.
Why Katt Williams Joining The Tour Is Almost Impossible… At Least For The North American Dates
It’s also important to note that the comedian is currently on his ‘Dark Matter Tour,’ reportedly with Mo’Nique and Torrei Hart.
The first set of shows kicked off a week after his viral ‘Club Shay Shay‘ interview in January. Williams will continue his run and take the stage for his final show in Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Missouri, on May 11.
So, it’s very unlikely that Williams would even have the time to join Minaj on her North American leg, which kicks off in Oakland, California, on March 1 and concludes on May 13 in Oklahoma City.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that Williams could join Minaj on the European leg of her tour, which kicks off on May 23 in Amsterdam.
But since Minaj has yet to reveal any additional details or confirm whether she has conversed with Williams, it remains uncertain if they are still considering him for the shows.
