Katt Willams has announced his retirement from comedy. The comedian has been in the news a lot lately—like for crazy police chases—and now he says he’s leaving the game for good.

“I’m just going to go ahead and announce my retirement from stand-up. I’m kinda done. I’ve already discussed it with my kids. I wasn’t really going to do it on a Seattle street. I was going to Los Angeles and do it in the offices of ICM or LiveNation,” Williams told KOMO (via CNN).

Katt Williams retires the same week that he made headline news for slapping a store employee in the face and escaping the store on a motorized scooter.

Last week Katt Williams  was caught on camera slapping a Target employee in video footage obtained by TMZ.

The footage shows Williams getting into an altercation with an employee at the store, then he slaps the man in the face.

The Target employee pulls out his phone and allegedly called police. Witnesses say that Katt Williams fled the scene and was not arrested. This was his second incident that day, following and earlier police chase on a motorcycle. Source
