Kevin Hart recently spoke to Charlamagne Tha God about his regrets about addressing Katt Williams after his infamous Club Shay Shay interview.
Hart made it clear that he only spoke out because Williams had criticized Tiffany Haddish in 2018 while promoting Night School on The Breakfast Club, and he felt the need to stand up for her.
“I think there’s probably one moment where I’ve talked about Katt publicly,” Hart said. “Tiffany was affected by some of the things he said. It was more of, like, support for her in that moment and some shots at him.”
When Charlamagne asked Hart if he regretted responding to Williams, Hart admitted he did. “Yeah, I should never address him, at all,” Hart said. “I don’t have to. Like, why? What will it do for me? What will I gain? There’s no gain. I look at everything from a business and economic standpoint. If I’m investing in something, what is my return? … If I can’t answer that question… then it doesn’t get energy.”
Williams had originally slammed Hart during his Club Shay Shay interview, calling him an “industry plant” and a “gatekeeper.” But Hart quickly dismissed those claims, explaining that his journey in comedy is well-documented. He even called it the “biggest compliment ever” during his interview with Charlamagne, saying, “When you hear things like that, you just… You got to give a nod to common sense versus lack thereof.”
Hart continued by sharing a conversation with his daughter, explaining the importance of research. “Everything is researchable if you really want to know it,” he said. “So if you really give a shit, you can go and see. I mean, the industry plant conversation is what? What does that mean?”
In the end, Kevin Hart regrets engaging with Katt’s criticism. He’s learned that dealing with negativity isn’t worth his time and energy.
