During the latest episode of his ESPN series, “NBA Unplugged with Kevin Hart,”
the actor and comedian, Kevin Hart,
didn’t shy away from poking fun at the recent onslaught of
insults hurled his way by fellow comedian Katt Williams.
While discussing the NBA game with his co-hosts, Hart couldn’t resist taking jabs at Williams’ recent explosive appearance on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast. In a tongue-in-cheek manner, Hart concocted a series of outrageous and entirely fabricated “fun” facts about Williams, turning the tables on the “Friday After Next” actor.

“At another point during the show, Hart called Williams’ interview ‘horseshit,’ playfully mocking one of the more outlandish claims made by Williams. Referring to Williams’ alleged college acceptance at age 7, Hart quipped, ‘You lost me at you got a college offer at age 7.’
Later on, Hart referred to Williams’ viral interview as a “circus,” playfully embracing the chaos unleashed by Williams’ remarks. When teased by sports analyst Kendrick Perkins for not retaliating against Williams, Hart responded with laughter, likening the situation to observing a circus act.
Williams’ barrage of insults and accusations, directed at a host of celebrities and comedians including Hart, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, and Rickey Smiley, caused a significant stir online. Among his slew of grievances, Williams accused Hart of being an “industry plant” who took shortcuts to success in his comedic career.
Responding to Williams’ claims, Hart didn’t hold back during his “NBA Unplugged” episode, delivering his own brand of humor to defuse the tension. This isn’t the first time the two comedians have clashed publicly, with Hart previously criticizing Williams for his comments about comedian Tiffany Haddish and alleging Williams’ history of substance abuse.
In the ongoing saga between the two comedians, Hart’s witty retorts and lighthearted approach demonstrate his ability to handle controversy with humor and grace. Despite the verbal sparring, it’s clear that Hart is taking Williams’ insults in stride, choosing to respond with laughter rather than anger.
