Kevin Hart went in on Katt Williams for attacking Tiffany Haddish and urged him to take responsibility for his past actions.
The Night School star had some choice words for Williams during a joint visit to The Breakfast Club with Haddish on Friday. Hart accused Williams of lashing out at his fellow comedians in bitterness at the state of his career.
“My frustration with Katt Williams comes from, you keep pointing at Hollywood,” Hart said. “‘Hollywood this, the white man this and this.’ When are you going to take responsibility for your actions? 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**ked off promo shoots. You f**ked off your promo trips that they set up for you. You became a risk to the studios, which is why the studios stopped f**king with you.”
When Charlamagne Tha God asked what led to Williams’ mistakes, Hart quipped “he chose drugs.”
Hart also questioned Williams’ willingness to mentor other comedians, particularly those of a similar background and style.
“Shoutout to Melanie Comarcho, shoutout to Luenell, shoutout to Leslie Jones, who are all underneath the umbrella of Katt Williams,” Hart said.
“Katt Williams, have you ever used your platform to bring the people who are under you up? You haven’t! So, because you haven’t, don’t s**t on those who are! I used my platform, and I brought my guys and my girls up!”
The Jumanji star listed Haddish’s accomplishments to counter William's claims that she's not put in the necessary work to be a star.
"Don't s**t on my sister's light because you're not happy with your s**t,” Hart said. “This s**t is earned; it's not given. I don't give a f**k if you're a Tiffany Haddish fan or not. It's earned. Tiffany Haddish got years in the game. It's not an accident that Tiffany Haddish got an opportunity to star in a movie. It's not an accident that that character popped in a movie, written or not written. A character has to pop it."
Hart also accused Williams of lying about stats he dropped while attacking Hart and Haddish on the radio.
“I am sitting on 1.3 million tickets sold … there is nobody close to me in ticket sales in comedy,” Hart said. “In comedy, it’s unheard of to do those kinds of numbers. To throw out a number like 2.4 million is ridiculous. That’s false, it’s not even close.”
Haddish was more forgiving of Williams and said she isn’t mad about his comments.
"I still am a fan of his. I think he's hilarious," she said. Haddish also showed compassionate toward any other haters she may have waiting in the wings to attack her.
"They obviously are hurting, and they need some love," she said. "There's something wrong with them to even come at me … I never did nothing to them. I never said anything bad about them, so it's something that's personal and obviously, they're crying for help. So, I'mma be kind, and I'mma keep it pushing and not absorb whatever they're trying to put out."
