Comedy Hype News correspondent John Ampa here, bringing you the latest buzz in the comedy world.
While much of the country is engrossed in the ongoing rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, comedian Tony Roberts has shifted the spotlight back to the world of comedy.
In a surprising turn of events on Thursday, Roberts took to Instagram to playfully roast his fellow comedian, Faison Love.
In what initially appeared to be a congratulatory message, Roberts slyly incorporated a series of jokes at Faison's expense, leaving his audience in stitches.
His caption humorously read, “Congratulations Faison Love on this prestigious and monumental new job for the military and the world.”
Interestingly, Cat Williams joined in on the fun by responding to Roberts' post with laughter.
For those who may recall, Faison Love and Cat Williams have engaged in playful banter over the years, exchanging humorous jabs.
Love has been vocal about his opinion that Cat is overrated as a stand-up comedian, while Cat famously mentioned Faison Love during his widely viewed interview with Shanna Sharpe on Club Shea Shea earlier this year.
The interview, which has garnered over 68 million views, now stands as the second most-watched on YouTube, with Cat highlighting a comical “fat Faison lie” as one of its memorable moments.
Notably, fellow comedians such as Bill Bellamy, Coco Brown, Rob Stapleton, and Faison himself chimed in on Roberts' post with laughing emojis.
Adding to the comedic exchange, Faison dubbed himself “Mountain Faison,” eliciting further amusement from his peers.
Earthquake also joined the conversation, emphasizing the camaraderie among comedians in their playful yet affectionate jests towards one another.
Roberts, acknowledging Earthquake's sentiment, emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive and supportive environment within the comedy community, devoid of animosity and envy.
The reference to the Club Shea Shea podcast underscores the platform's role in providing a space for industry veterans to address any underlying issues.
While the catalyst for the comedic sparring remains unclear, it is evident that Tony Roberts' response was triggered by Faison Love's initial Instagram post, where he humorously called out Roberts for his alleged involvement in the production of flip flops with the assistance of Filipinos.
Roberts, taking the jest in stride, shared a laugh with Earthquake, showcasing that comedians can engage in playful banter without tarnishing each other's reputation.
As the banter between Roberts and Love continues, the question remains: Who delivered the better punchlines?
