Rapper and comedian, Katt Williams, handed $1,600 in cash to Arsenio Hall during and episode of “The Arsenio Hall Show,” after the talk-show host joked about wanting to buy the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.
Although Hall will need to raise a billion dollars to buy the team from current owner Donald Sterling, who was banned from the National Basketball Association (NBA) after he made racist remarks, some big stars like Oprah Winfrey and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have made serious commitments to try and buy the team.
“We are in the Clipper business,” Williams said after counting out the $1,600 and putting it on the side for Hall.
Although Williams wanted to donate more, he put the rest of the $100 bills back in his pocket, joking that the IRS put restrictions on him. Williams has been paying off $3.2 million since 2008 in tax debts, according to ABC news.
Williams said on the show that it was good to get a “fly on the wall” perspective of how a racist mentality operates behind closed doors.
Hall was also displeased with the racial slurs and tweeted on Monday, "Happy Cinco De Mayo ... or as #donaldsterling calls it , “Illegal Alien Day” #arsenio."
