"You act like three million dollars really means something in the grand scheme of life," Lord Jamar adds. "Thanks but no thanks."

The family of Katt Williams is concerned about his odd behavior as of late. They are trying to convince him to get psychiatric help, but he refuses to.
The final straw for the comedian's loved ones was his fight with a 17-year old boy last week in Georgia.
The fight was the latest in a string of bizarre incidents involving Williams that began in late February.
During that time he has been arrested twice. Once for punching a Gainesville, Georgia pool store clerk.
The second arrest was for allegedly ordering a woman named Tatiana Smith to shave and hit his bodyguard, Cory Dixon, with a bat.

When police raided the comedian's Gainesville home on March 8th, to take him into custody for assaulting and threatening to kill Dixon, Williams was naked and covered in chocolate and whipped cream.
He told TMZ that the body candy wasn't unusual because he "likes a bitch to lick it off him before he gets fucked to sleep."
Williams, real name Micah Sierra Williams, added that his family has been trying to get him committed for years and are nothing but a bunch of "broke bitches."
