Kevin Hart extended an olive branch to fellow comedian Kat Williams during Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart” on Sunday, May 10.
Kevin and Katt weren’t on speaking terms after a years-long feud. During Kevin’s ‘Roast’, Regina Hall introduced Katt as a surprise guest comedy performer.
As Katt took the stage, he told Kevin, “I’m surprised they invited me. That’s how little star power you have. They had to start inviting your enemies. I said, ‘I hate him.’ They said, ‘Come anyway.'”
As the audience laughed, Katt said, “Very humble of me to be at your GOAT roast tonight, Kevin. I’ve won an Emmy Award, but this is going to be my best acting tonight as I pretend like you are a GOAT.”
He continued: “For those of you just joining us, Kevin and I had beef, and I’ll tell you why. Because, privately, this motherf—er stole everything from me. Before he saw my act, he was a 6-foot-3 White man,” he joked.
Kat added:
“I tried to tell y’all that Kevin Hart was a plant, because I keep burying him. He keeps springing back the f— up, just like a plant. Yes, I said some things I’d like to take back, some things I said were misunderstood. I did say that Kevin was a Hollywood puppet, and I want to explain that because it might not be what you think. I meant that the head of Netflix literally has his whole hand up Kevin’s a*s and can make him do anything.”
After Katt finished his performance, Kevin said:
“Me and this man have been at odds for years on years. You coming out here, quite the f—ing surprise. But Katt, I can sit, I can watch you, I can laugh because I’m a f—ing fan first … Katt, we have an opportunity in real time — this is live television — to put our f—ing beef behind us. I am offering you an olive branch of peace. I want to be a brother. I want to be a friend, Katt.”
Katt previously complained in a radio interview that comedians like Kevin and Tiffany Haddish didn’t deserve their success so quickly in their careers. In 2024, Kat also suggested during a podcast interview that Kevin stole several movie roles from him.
