Why Katt Williams And Kevin Hart Have Beef - Here's Why

according to the merriam-webster dictionary a rival is defined as one or two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can possess rivalries and sports entertainment are nothing new two opposing forces wanted to be the best in their field and letting it be known Kevin Hart and Katt Williams have not only dominated comedy but they may in fact be behind the biggest rivalry in comedy history in fact this nearly eight-year feud could quite possibly see no definite ending for a number of reasons but how did it even start we have to go back to 2008 cat winds had just released his then new special entitled its pimpon pimpon this will take six years after audiences would first discover Williams and Friday after next at this time winds was quite possibly regarded as one of the hottest comedians in the world now 2008 would become a noteworthy year for this feud kind of a transition of power you see it as well-documented that Hollywood has a history was pushing a single black Santa comedian at a time this method from a business lens is why we've seen one or two comedians land certain roles back-to-back they star is made created carefully and cold-bloodedly built from nothing from nobody Louis be mayor co-founder of MGM under this ongoing practice we see how a rivalry can easily start to exist amongst black comedians the seldom message is there there only can be one king according to Hart's book I can't make this up he was never intended for his role in 2008 fool's gold in fact cab winds had landed the role which was filming in Australia but he ended up getting into some legal trouble and wasn't allowed to leave the country the causal agents called my manager and said they needed a comedian as soon as possible to play a villain in the film named big bunny and that's how Kevin originally landed the role this casting change would mark as the first time people will publicly hear about a 5:5 Katt Williams and a 5-4 Kevin Hart being matched up against each other now before fool's gold heart was quietly building and working behind the scenes in 2003 the Philadelphia comedian would Lansky movie three and in 2004 he would feature in Along Came Polly landed a sitcom which was quickly canceled what would gaining starring role in his own film as Nashawn and so plain fast-forward back to 2008 Hollywood appears to have decided it was time to utilize hard even more after fools gold heart would then share the screen with Eddie Murphy for me Dave that same year and again according to heart and an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2012 cat was supposed to be in that instead of him I don't even think they said what the offer was I was like yep the next year he would then get pushed to release his first one-hour special I'm a grown little man meanwhile 2009 appears to be Kats decline in Hollywood despite releasing another notable special pimp Adela Kats relationship with Hollywood was slowed down according to IMDB keV will only appear in one movie for the entire year young American gangsters his crown was now in jeopardy of being lost in 2010 Hartwood aligned with an all-star cast for Def at a funeral the film would feature Chris Rock Tracy Morgan and Martin Lawrence now upon looking at this one could seek a twins fitting into the equation of this movie's comedy line of hardwood also land three other movies which included Little Fockers and that same year Kevin would return with another comedy special seriously funny meanwhile cap would release his special nine lives but would only bring in one film credit for the entire year for the next two years Williams's roles in Hollywood would be close to non-existent it was in 2013 that audiences would see Williams back in another notable role for scary movie 5 while doing press for the film women would for the first time publicly acknowledge a rival between him and heart I don't have a problem with Kevin Hart I never have simply because I'm a fan of comedy and judge a person by what they bring comedic ly if I'm the king then my crown is not supposed to be able to be worn by anybody else so now that doesn't mean that they're not gonna try put it on somebody else's head and walk him around and tell you that he is a king but the crown won't match and the crown is gonna be too heavy for that baby boy so now all I say is I want my crown back the comedy Lord giveth and he taketh away the following year in 2014 a clip of cat appeared on flat TV where he explained how he was able to pay the way for the Kevin Hart's of the world I told Kevin Hart's people how to make Kevin Hart because I don't mind competition I'm really the greatest of all time so I can build you to fight me the rivalry was officially known not from just cats words but with both comedians bring to the stage cast ala comedy speaks to a certain audience outside of the mainstream those who care for truth his topics mainly include politics conspiracies and a view of the hood today on the other end Kevin represents a more conservative perspective one based on being the perfect example of a family man stays away from politics and other controversial topics which cat on the opposite has learned to embrace this robbery is the ultimate good guy for his bad guy in 2016 a group of women in Atlanta ran as a cat and asked for a picture after his show according to the women Pat quickly became irritated and verbally abusive I said Kevin Hart funnier anyway and that like lit a fire under him the next thing I know he's charging at me he actually hit me right here in my left temple and tackled me to the ground we were tussling I get kicked and I got pulled during that same show cat went on a rant about Kevin Hart according to the Philadelphia Inquirer cat said even if the [ __ ] is a puppet it's not his fault don't be mad at Kermit the Frog be mad at Jim Henson don't say Donald Duck and you really mean Walt Disney I don't care nothing about what happens to Kevin I wish him the best I just know that somebody's hand is stuck up that baby understand oh we're at a puppet show boo-boo please believe me you're looking at the only thing that ain't that same weekend Kevin seemed to have responded to cats comments with a humble brag he posted a picture of himself on Instagram alongside Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock me and Dave Chappelle with our brother Chris Rock tonight at the Oscars true professionals understand the importance of sticking together and supporting one another it's about helping one another not trying to tear each other down the insecure ones will never understand that support and encourage me that same month cat didn't appear to be done cat will release a video of challenging Kevin so are they a rap cypher comedy battle boxing or basketball for five million dollars on that stage we can put whatever you want a full court basketball court a boxing ring two microphones for a rat cipher [Music] or you can get your ass dusted and comedy on that stage but it's 1 million dollars up for each one that's five million dollars mr. twenty-eight million in Forbes cat was gonna be in Kevin's hometown of Philadelphia for a show and was ready to settle the score a few days later cat would be a guest on v-103 in Atlanta and was going to apologize to Kevin for the challenge cat said that he made a mistake but it didn't make a total mistake he meant to cut the snake but he meant to cut the head of the snake that year cat wouldn't have any new credits while Hart on the other hand will release a special what now along with several other films and also starring in beads he's real husbands of Hollywood years will go by and the rivalry will get quiet as Kevin continued his run in Hollywood then in 2018 cat appeared on v-103 again in Atlanta to support his comedy comrade red grant in the interview Kat would criticize Kevin Hart Tiffany Haddish little rail to rock Carmichael and Hannibal Buress cat would imply that Kevin was not a truly a man and said he was picked he would then go on and speak about owning his own comedy specials which makes us point out the two also shared different styles and how they conducted themselves in business Kevin Hart has built a reputation for himself as a real-deal businessman closing deals and identifying opportunities to profit meanwhile cat appears to move a bit different to his on the court by not always expecting a return or profit from his contribution in response to cats comments Hart would appear on The Breakfast Club to directly address cat my frustration with Katt Williams comes from you keep pointing at Hollywood Hollywood in the white man this and this when do you take responsibility for your actions you had the shot you were the guy you didn't show up to work you after promo shoot you became a risk of the studio which is why the studio stopped effing with you of course cat heard the message and went on Instagram live to indirectly respond back to Kevin I don't mind making 1 million a month and keeping my soul while using that same Instagram account cat would later show that took a direct-drive at heart for kissing the rock in 2016 Central Intelligence he would also let heart know that they both can handle the matter physically I was just in the gym and I'm headed to Mayweather's i'ma knock your mother boy I ain't Steven Naismith I'm really out on these [ __ ] streets my [ __ ] since 2018 cat has gone on to win an Emmy for his role in Atlanta released a Netflix special appeared on blackish in 2019 and most recently last oh gee in 2020 as far as heart he has continued to build out his resume with films like Jumanji The Secret Life of pets and economy special with Netflix in 2019 this Robin reappears that happened because of what we've seen in the past two different styles of comedy and Industry saying they're only can be won in the natural build up of competition which is why Kevin Hart versus Katt Williams may never be over
