Kevin Hart had spoken out about cancel culture in an interview with The Sunday Times (via Entertainment Weekly) just days before his Twitter rant to people who think he’s “not funny.” He quipped that he had been “canceled, what, three or four times,” throughout his career and thinks that people need to chill out and focus on the funny. He added that as a comedian, he has to hold back. “You’re thinking that things you say will come back and bite you on the ass. I can’t be the comic today that I was when I got into this.”
Most recently, Hart stepped away from hosting the 2019 Oscars when old, homophobic tweets surfaced. Months later, he released his comedy special “Zero F**ks Given,” in which he also talks about cancel culture. Despite whatever hate he receives, Hart has definitely stayed busy and working. He has a new Netflix movie, “Fatherhood,” coming up, and he is set to star in a number of projects, via IMDb, such as the “Borderlands” film adaptation, an action movie called, “The Man from Toronto” with Woody Harrelson, and the limited series “True Story” with Wesley Snipes. Surely, there will be more to come from Hart as more and more people read his rant and respond to it.
