Katt Williams Ends Beef With Kevin Hart!

A night of controversy, jokes and Kevin Hart.

The Netflix roast of legendary comedian Kevin Hart has a surprise guest. The guest comes to the stage to end a longstanding feud but publicly air out his frustrations. 

Chelsea Handler, Pete Davidson, Jeff Ross, Regina Hall, Draymond Green, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Sheryl Underwood. The star-studded event also included musical performances by Usher and Lizzo, surprise sets from Katt Williams and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and a cameo by Tom Brady. 

Kevin Hart got into the hot seat and Netflix gave the material.

During Netflix's The Roast of Kevin Hart on Sunday, May 10, Regina Hall introduced Williams, 54, as a surprise comedian and performer more than two hours into the roast in honor of Hart, 46.

The pair of comedians previously traded barbs in 2018, when Williams complained in a radio interview that comedians like Hart and Tiffany Haddish did not deserve the success they had found so quickly in their careers. In 2024, Williams also suggested during a podcast interview that Hart routinely took several movie roles from him while Williams was still considering signing on to those projects.

“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,' " Williams told Hart, as he took the stage, to laughter during the roast. "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."

Williams also zinged Hart for participating in the Saudi Arabia-set Riyadh Comedy Festival in 2025, which Hart and a number of American comedians were criticized for taking part in by other comedians and organizations like Human Rights Watch due to the country's suppression of free speech.

"You're wondering, why is the Katt man doing this? For the money, bitch," the comedian said. "This is my Riyadh Comedy Festival. Only one with a soul.”

🇺🇸 Sheryl Underwood at Kevin Hart’s roast: free speech and respect can coexist.

The show also featured performances from Dwayne Johnson, Pete Davidson, Chelsea Handler, Tom Brady, Draymond Green, Shane Gillis, Jeff Ross and more celebrities. Williams pointed to his past statements about Hart's place within the entertainment industry during his surprise set.

"For those of you just joining us, Kevin and I had beef, and I'll tell you why. Because, privately, this motherfucker stole everything from me. Before he saw my act, he was a 6-foot-3 White man," he said.

Williams continued, "I tried to tell y'all that Kevin Hart was a plant, because I keep burying him. He keeps springing back the fuck 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 ass and can make him do anything.”

Hart, who sat onstage during Williams' set, approached the comedian after Williams finished his performance. “Me and this man have been at odds for years on years. You coming out here, quite the fucking surprise. But Katt, I can sit, I can watch you, I can laugh because I'm a fucking fan first ... Katt, we have an opportunity in real time — this is live television — to put our fucking 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."

Tony Hinchcliffe aka Kill Tony once again got another racist joke out. He made reference to George Floyd. Hinchcliffe faced major backlash for a joke he made about the murder of George Floyd during the Netflix special The Roast of Kevin Hart. During his set, Hinchcliffe said: "The Black community is so proud of you... right now, George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard that he can’t breathe." 

George Floyd’s family and foundation strongly condemned the joke, expressing disappointment toward both Hinchcliffe and Kevin Hart. The family publicly stated that Hinchcliffe's comments—which also follow similar jokes Hinchcliffe previously made during Tom Brady's roast—have caused additional pain for Floyd's loved ones, especially his children who are being bullied at school.
