'It’s honestly sad': Kevin Hart responds to Katt Williams' claim he's a Hollywood 'plant'

Comedian and actor Kevin Hart responded to a litany of charges lobbed at him by Katt Williams on a recent podcast.

Williams went viral for his appearance on "Club Shay Shay," the podcast of former NFL player Shannon Sharpe.

The Ohio comedian made accusatory remarks about a number of high-profile comics such as Hart, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, and Chris Tucker.

Williams implied that rapper P. Diddy wanted to have sex with him on multiple occasions as well and that rapper/actor Ludacris was offered $200 million by the "illuminati."

"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 told Sharpe.

"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 s*** out and then I can do it,'" Williams said. Fetchit was a reference to a 1930s actor who found fame for being "the laziest man in the world."

"Like it don't need to be overtly homosexual 'cause I'm not homosexual, right? It doesn't need that to be funny, right?" he continued. Williams then claimed that after he made suggestions for the movies the studios would give the role to Hart because he wouldn't request any changes.

"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."

The morning following the podcast's release, Hart took to his X account to respond. The comedian made a short remark before promoting a new movie.

"Gotta get that anger up outcha champ….It’s honestly sad. In the meantime…. Please enjoy MY MOVIE TRAILER," he wrote with an attached video.

This isn't the first time the two comedians exchanged words without speaking in person.

In 2018, while on a media tour, Hart claimed that Williams failed to capitalize on his chance to reach stardom.

"You had the shot. You were the guy. You were set up to be the star. You didn't show up to work. You f***ed off promo shoots. You f***ed off your promo trips they set up for you. You became a risk to the studios," Hart said, as reported by Business Insider.

Williams denied the claim that studios have had any issues with him on Sharpe's podcast.

In 2016, Williams challenged Hart to a series of challenges in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the tune of $5 million.

"A full-court basketball court, a boxing ring, two microphones for a rap cypher, or you can get your ass dusted in comedy on that stage," Williams said from a tarmac. "But it's $1 million up for each one, that's $5 million mister '$28 million in Forbes.' I'll be bringing mine in cash."
