Katt Williams let the flames rage during an on-air roast at the Frank & Wanda show on Atlanta’s V-103. 

In the house to promote his newest comedy special, the seasoned funnyman sunk his claws into a number of comedians including Tiffany Haddish – suggesting that her success is a fluke and that she is yet to prove herself in a substantial  manner.

Kelly, who took to his track ‘Rap Devil’ (which currently sits at #1 on iTunes charts) to diss Em, was the recipient of a fiery clap back from the Grammy winner via today’s ‘Killshot’ (click here to listen).  While firing off a slew of insults, somehow Iggy Azalea got caught in the crossfire when the 45-year-old emcee stated:

“You ain’t never made a list next to no Biggie, no JAY / Next to Taylor Swift and that Iggy ho…”
