In a conversation with SiriusXM host Ron Bennington on Tuesday's The Bennington Show, the Saturday Night Live star opened up about his recent assault, revealing that he believes the attack was planned.

"People called it a random attack," he said. "I don't believe that. I watched the footage. He waited for me an hour before I got there. He was on the phone, he had a lookout dude and everything."

Redd further explained his reasoning. "All I'm saying is this, I've never done nothing random where it took me an hour to do it. I've never just randomly done a random thing that took a build-up. That's not what random is."

The 37-year-old comedian says so be believes "it was a planned situation. That's what I feel in my heart and soul. That's what I saw in the footage."

"I'll probably release the footage and do a voiceover thing," he said and laughed.

When asked about the status of the case, Redd revealed that the "cold case got lukewarm real quick." He also joked that he'd been "ghosted by the chief of police."
