Kevin Hart like many could not let the Katt Williams Interview go without giving his two cents.
According to Business Insider Katt said:
“In 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show, there being a line for him, ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club,” Williams said during the interview with Sharpe (at the 19:55 mark).
After digging into the likes of other comics like Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, Williams took another dig at Hart later in the over-two-and-a-half-hour interview.
“For a five-year period, every single movie that Kevin Hart did was a movie that had been on my desk that all I had said was just, ‘Can we take some of this Stepin Fetchit shit out and then I can do it,'” said Williams (1:29:00 mark), referring to the 1930s Black actor who found fame for playing someone lazy.
“Like it don’t need to be overtly homosexual cuz I’m not homosexual right? It doesn’t need that to be funny, right? And me saying that and them going, ‘Oh yeah, no problem,’ and then going to give it to this other guy and having him do it just like it was and acting like I’m a bad person because I keep standing on my standard. Yeah, it’s interesting, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Again, I’m on the winning side of these decisions.”
Kevin said:
This isn’t the first time Hart and Williams have gone at it.
In 2018, Hart stood up for Tiffany Haddish, who Williams was bashing at the time, saying she hadn’t earned her stripes in the comedy world.

and
I still remember when Kevin Hart had all of this to say about Katt Williams on The Breakfast Club five years ago. Kevin seemed angry in this interview. In Katt’s interview he seemed like he was responding to something he never spoke on before. #ClubShayShay pic.twitter.com/fpZ8YqqtwG
