Kevin Hart Responds To Backlash
Kevin Hart is no stranger to backlash. But after noticing a debate around his recent comments on cancel culture, the “Let Me Explain” comic clapped back at all the critics saying he isn’t funny.
Hart became a topic on Twitter following his recent CNN appearance where he criticized how canceled culture affects comedians. “When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect?” the “Ride Along” star said. “Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time? I don’t understand.”
While speaking with The Sunday Times, Hart reiterated his views while explaining how unbothered he is by cancelling culture. “I’ve been cancelled, what, three or four times? Never bothered,” he said. “If you allow it to have an effect on you, it will,” he said. “Personally? That’s not how I operate. I understand people are human.”
But members of Black Twitter weren’t here for Hart’s thoughts on the topic and blasted him while downplaying his comedic chops. “Kevin Hart is not funny enough for the aggravation he is causing,” one person tweeted. “Pls get your Hollywood bag and leave us alone.”
Another person compared Hart’s comments on cancel culture to takes from other regarded Black comedians.
“Eddie Murphy and Katt Williams, two funnier guys than Kevin Hart, admitted that comedy could do with some self-reflection,” the user said. “Hell, Eddie basically said he could understand where his stand-up was considered harmful if I’m not mistaken….. but Kevin Hart is dying on the same hill.”
