Katt Williams says racial slur prompted fracas that led to arrest

Williams said he's invested in the "Love and Hip Hop" franchise and noted his role in the upcoming comedy "Bastards" with Owen Wilson and Ed Helms . ( Here are some photos from the set ).

Despite the dustups that have had him visiting assorted municipal lockups, Williams says he's doing great. He maintains properties in Texas, California, Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania in addition to his Georgia address, since he's flush from a bevy of six-figure bookings and has spent the proceeds wisely.

"You can do that if you didn’t spend all your money on strippers and cocaine," he said, adding, "If you think Katt Williams is a crackhead, you should spend some time with your local crackhead."

He didn't seek to duck responsibility for any of his legal woes, though, saying, "I’m worthy of the target."

Toward the end of the interview he was asked to free-associate with various celebrities.

Oprah: "One of the most underrated women of the century."

Justin Bieber: "America's Canadian."

Drake: "Legendary"

Anthony Anderson: "Hilarious"

And Tyler Perry, known for his multiple "Madea" movies? "Drag queen."

Here's the entire interview:
