‘It Doesn’t Get My Energy’: Kevin Hart Says He’s Above the Beef with Katt Williams Months After Claiming He Doesn’t ‘Entertain the Circus’

Hollywood movie star Kevin Hart rarely regrets the decisions he’s made since reaching the top.
However, there are a few recent moments in his career where he wishes he would have taken a different route.

The comic has adamantly expressed regret about cheating on his wife, and he likely feels remorseful for using homophobic slurs, a controversial act that cost him the opportunity to host the 2018 Oscars.

But among the regrets, there’s one particular incident that stands out: addressing Katt Williams publicly.

Despite their successes, Hart and Williams have had a rocky relationship and are each other’s nemesis.

Both men are comedic powerhouses, but Hart’s business ventures — such as mega-deals with Peacock and movies on Netflix — have propelled him to an estimated net worth of $450 million, making him a clear winner in the financial department. This dominance and influence is part of the reason Hart wishes he’d never bothered engaging in a public spat with Williams.

In a recent interview on Charlamagne Tha God’s podcast “Out of Context,” Hart reflected on his past dealings with Williams and explained why he regrets addressing the Ohio comedian.

“I think there’s probably one moment where I’ve talked about Katt publicly,” Hart explained, referencing a 2018 interview on “The Breakfast Club.”

The “Ride Along” actor made it clear that he only said what he said about Williams because the Ohio native was talking bad about his friend and protégée Tiffany Haddish.

“We were promoting ‘Night School,’” he continued, “Tiffany was affected by some of the things he said. It was more of a, like, support for her in that moment and some shots at him.”

Now, in hindsight, Hart sees things differently.

“I should’ve never addressed him, at all,” he admitted. “I don’t have to. Like, why? What will it do for me? What will I gain? There’s no gain. I look at everything from a business and economic standpoint. If I’m investing in something, what is my return? … If I can’t answer that question… then it doesn’t get energy.”
