Hollywood life The full timeline of Kevin and Kat’s years-long feud is contained here.
2014
The tension between Kevin and Kat first became public in 2014 when Kat began making passive-aggressive comments and jokes about comedians joining the Hollywood machine. This was around the time when Kevin’s film career began to gain momentum, as he starred in films such as Ride along, about last night, think like a man too, and Top five.
Later that year, Katt claimed he had “helped make” Kevin a comedian.
2016
Kat later referred to Kevin as a “Hollywood doll” during 2016 Conspiracy theory Comedy tour in Atlanta, Georgia.
Kevin did not respond to Katt directly, but he did share an Instagram post that year about loneliness in the world of comedy, which fans took as a slight jab at Katt.
“Me and Dave Chappelle with our brother Chrisrock tonight at the Oscars,” Kevin captioned his post. “Real professionals understand the importance of sticking together and supporting each other…. At the end of the day, we are comedians and there are not many who have reached the level we have. But many doors are opened to the success of one comedian and when you see those doors open, you have the opportunity to walk through them…. It is about helping each other not trying to tear each other down!!!! Insecure people will never understand ‘support and encouragement’.”
During Netflix’s 2026 “roast” special, Kat walked back his “puppet” comment about Kevin while highlighting the feud.
“Yes, I’ve said some things I’d like to take back, and some things I’ve said have been misunderstood,” Cat noted. “I said he was a Hollywood puppet, and I want to explain that because he may not be what you think. I meant that the head of Netflix has his whole hand up Kevin’s ass and can make him do anything.”
2018
Kat decided to grab his fellow comedian Tiffany Haddish In his and Kevin’s beef by questioning the reason for her movie Girls trip This success was during an interview at the Atlanta station V-103. In response, Kevin defended Tiffany during an interview on “The Breakfast Club.”
2024
The feud reached a breaking point when Kat appeared on “Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe” in 2024, not mincing words about Kevin being an alleged “factory” of the industry.
“Nobody in Hollywood remembers going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show, where there was a line for him, and he got a standing ovation at any comedy club,” Katt claimed, before also claiming, “He already had his deals when he got here. Have we ever heard of a comedian who came to L.A. and, in his first year in L.A., had his own sitcom on network television and had his own movie called ‘Soul Plane’ that he was leading? No, we haven’t heard of that before, or since, this person, What is a “plant” in your opinion?
Kevin’s response was not direct, but fans took his tweet as a clap back against Kat. “I have to piss this champ off…. It’s honestly sad,” Kevin wrote via X in early 2024.
