Kevin Hart pulled off a crazy April Fools’ stunt when he dropped a Tiny Desk NPR performance as his rap alter ego, “Chocolate Droppa.”

Nobody saw it coming, but Hart went all in, delivering what he called “real rap RAW” with all the energy and humor you’d expect from him. For those who forgot, it’s been over nine years since Droppa dropped his debut mixtape, which had big collabs with Migos, Big Sean, and more. Hart wasn’t just joking around; he was spitting bars with the same confidence as any rapper in the game.

The performance was a mix of comedy and rap, with Kevin bringing his usual over-the-top personality, rapping with an extra layer of swag. His lines were funny, clever, and full of that signature Chocolate Droppa style. He wasn’t taking himself too seriously, but he also wasn’t playing when it came to showing off his skills.
The internet went wild after the performance dropped. X, Instagram, and everywhere else were flooded with memes, jokes, and people laughing at how serious Kevin was about his rap career. Fans were having a blast, joking about whether Droppa was actually coming back to drop more music or if it was just a one-time joke. Either way, it was an April Fools’ prank that had everyone laughing—and reminded us that Kevin Hart’s got more talent than we might’ve realized.

Check out some of the funniest reactions to Chocolate Droppa’s Tiny Desk debut below.

Kevin Hart is best known for his comedy specials and blockbuster films, but he has dabbled a bit in the world of Hip-Hop under his Chocolate Droppa persona. Chocolate Droppa, excuse us, Kevin Hart, showed up for NPR’s Tiny Desk series to drop some powerful off-the-dome bars with a backing band for April Fools’ Day.

NPR published the new set from Chocolate Droppa, aka Kevin Hart, on April 1, prompting many in the comments on the YouTube page to ponder if they were being pranked. From what we can tell, this was a serious production with Hart being flanked by a four-man band he constantly referred to as the Band of Brothers.

Throughout the performance and never breaking character, Hart/Droppa offered motivational words between the songs and boasted about being the first rapper to go strictly off the top of the head on the set. The improvisational performance was clear as Droppa did go into his classics bag to deliver portions of “ATL RAP” and the tracks “Love Song,” “West Coast” and ending with “Don’t F*ck With Dem.”

The good-natured performance and Hart’s super-serious speeches, coupled with him directing the band to give him some heat to rap atop of got more than a few chuckles from the Tiny Desk concert attendees. That said, we know why Kevin Hart is a comedian and a major movie star first, but we love the effort.

One of the culture’s most beloved online personalities is about to do it big for the holiday. Kai Cenat will be hosting a Mafiathon 2 Thanksgiving stream with Druski and Kevin Hart.

As reported by Blavity the Twitch star will be celebrating the big day with two of his comedic friends. On Monday, Nov. 25 the content creator announced his forthcoming special via a very funny but memorable trailer. In the clip we find Kevin Hart and Druski dressed up like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in their roles from Step Brothers on route to Kai’s house for Thanksgiving. While it is clear Cenat is hosting the two bicker back and forth on whether or not they should be bringing a dish. During their conversation we see the streamer struggle with the cooking and mistakenly sets his stove on fire. The hijinks continue when Druski and Kevin arrive at the house when they accuse him of “stuffing” the turkey in a very wild way.

This is the second time the trio are partnering for a live event. In June Kai Cenat hosted a Summer Slumber Party in Atlanta that was attended by both of the funnymen. The project turned out to be wildly successful and surpassed Twitch’s North American viewership record. Earlier this month Kai Cenat became the first Twitch streamer to have 500,000 subscribers.
The Mafiathon 2 Thanksgiving stream with Druski and Kevin Hart will go live Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 9PM EST. You can see the trailer for it below.

You can add Kevin Hart to the list of individuals who are disassociating themselves from Diddy. The comedian refused to answer questions about the time he hosted a party for the mogul.

The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, native was recently on his way to dine at LAVO restaurant in West Hollywood. Paparazzi happened to be there and asked him if he ever saw any baby oil when he hosted an event for the Bad Boy Entertainment founder. Kevin Hart responded cryptically saying, “when I hosted for Diddy?” The Ride Along star then made it clear that he doesn’t want to be involved with any scandal. “You asking the wrong person the wrong question, man. It’s not a good question.” When asked if he thought if Diddy would be safe in jail he doubled down on his earlier response saying, “wrong person, wrong question.”

Back in 2010, Kevin Hart hosted a private party for Diddy at The London Hotel in New York City, and the footage from this evening has since resurfaced. The invite-only event featured scantly clad women in each room of the penthouse and bottles of Cîroc vodka everywhere. At one point, a female’s hair catches on fire while sitting in a tub. This party was also attended by Usher, Swizz Beatz, Fabolous and Diddy’s Dirty Money bandmates Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper.
It is unclear whether Diddy is accused of any wrongdoing at this specific event. You can view the footage from the Kevin Hart-hosted Diddy party below.

For a while now Kevin Hart has been building a buddying bromance with world renowned online streamer and gamer, Kai Cenat, and it’s gotten to the point that Hart would love to see Cenat play him should a film about his life ever be made.

In a recent interview with Vibe, the Jumanji actor said that Cenat would be the perfect fit to play him in a biopic about himself even though we’ve never seen Cenat in a film or television series to date. Still, Hart feels that the gamer has what it takes to be a star and explained that Cenat would turn people into believers if given the chance to shine on the set of a film.
Per Vibe:

Hart, 45, named award-winning streamer, Kai Cenat, as the one who he believes could give a “phenomenal” performance of him one day in a biopic. The comedian and actor humorously made it clear that those conversations aren’t being had yet, as he’s not “that old.”
“Is that where we are? ‘Kevin, who do you want to play you?’ Oh my goodness,” he began. “I mean, when we get to that point, it’s definitely a great conversation. I would say in a perfect world, in the future — because I got a feeling that they’ll be able to knock it out the park because of the way they’ll be — Kai Cenat.”
He added, “Cut the dreads and stuff off, I think he can get in there and pull out a phenomenal performance.”
While we’re sure Kevin believes wholeheartedly that Cenat has what it takes to pull off a stellar iteration of himself, we’re not sure anyone would actually want to see a biopic of Kevin Hart just yet (no shots). Maybe in the future but even by then Cenat probably won’t be looking too young anymore. Just sayin.’
Still, we do love seeing these two goof off on Cenat’s livestream so we’re not mad at the suggestion and should someone actually green light a Kevin Hart biopic within the next few years it will be interesting to see if Kai is up for the challenge.
What do y’all think? Peep a video of the two having a grand ol’ time below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Apparently, Kevin Hart still hasn’t escaped his cheating scandal that began in 2017, when a sex tape was leaked that reportedly showed the actor and comedian getting his sneaky link on with actress and model Montia Sabbag.

Now, Hart is facing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed by his former friend Jonathan “J.T.” Jackson, who claimed Hart made baseless allegations regarding his alleged role in filming the sex tape and extorting the Soul Plane actor over it. According to the suit, Jackson is accusing Hart of welching on a settlement agreement by refusing to issue a public apology for the accusation in the manner that he agreed to.

From the Los Angeles Times:
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Jackson accused the “Get Hard” actor of not using the “meticulously negotiated” and agreed-upon wording from their 2021 settlement when he addressed the scandal in an Instagram post that same year, resulting in a $12-million breach of written contract lawsuit. The civil lawsuit, which lists Hart, Hartbeat LLC and several Does among the defendants, also accuses them of fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The 23-page complaint, obtained Wednesday by The Times, said Hart was contractually obligated by their July 2021 settlement to use “specific verbiage” that would “publicly exonerate” the Navy veteran, professional bowler and actor, who was entangled in legal issues in the wake of the scandal.
“The wording of Hart’s statement — which was meticulously negotiated and detailed in the Contract — was absolutely crucial to repairing and remediating the severe damage inflicted upon Plaintiff’s reputation by the baseless extortion allegations that Hart aggressively promoted and publicized,” the complaint said.
In January 2018, the year after Hart’s sex tape was leaked, Jackson’s L.A. home was raided by law enforcement investigators with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, who reportedly held the 47-year-old and his wife at gunpoint while investigating the allegation of extortion, which Jackson believes Hart initiated. The charges were eventually dropped by prosecutors, but Jackson claimed that his “reputation was unjustly tarnished due to a series of malicious actions by the defendants.” Jackson also sued the prosecutors last December, according to the Times.

The actions by Hart and his production company, Hartbeat, that Jackson says hurt his reputation include the 2019 release of Hart’s Netflix docuseries Don’t F— This Up.
More from the Times:
The docuseries mentioned extortion and alleged that Jackson had been involved in the creation and dissemination of a sex tape that showed Hart and a woman who was not his wife getting intimate in a Las Vegas hotel room. (Both Jackson and Hart were also sued for $60 million by model Montia Sabbag, the woman who purportedly appeared with Hart in the tape, but that lawsuit was ultimately dismissed, and Jackson was cleared of all allegations.)
Jackson’s lawsuit states that in their original written settlement, Hart agreed to “pursue and advocate for the dismissal of all criminal charges” against Jackson and make a public statement exonerating him. Hart was allegedly supposed to declare officially that criminal charges against Jackson had been dropped, that Jackson had been cleared completely of any involvement in extortion, and that the whole saga had cost Hart “a valuable friendship.” Hart was also required to say he had “lost someone close to me that I loved and still have very much love for or high levels of love for and I’m proud to say that all charges against JT Jackson have been dropped and he is not guilty and had nothing to do with it and this matter at hand that once was so tough to deal with and so heavy for me and my household is now put to bed.” (To be fair, a lot of that was kinda extra. How are you going to sue someone into saying you were once a valued friend of theirs whom they “loved”?)
But Hart allegedly violated the terms of the settlement when an Instagram video he posted in October 2021 that “blatantly broke” their agreement and “manipulate[d] the narrative,” not because he didn’t state what he was supposed to state, but because he didn’t word his statement correctly.
“J.T. Jackson has recently been found not guilty, and those charges have been dropped against him, and I can finally speak on what I once couldn’t,” Hart said in his statement. Hart did mention that their friendship “was lost,” but he failed to mention that Jackson “had nothing to do with” any extortion plot.

“Hart’s statement deviates significantly from the agreed-upon verbiage in several crucial aspects,” Jackson’s attorney, Daniel L. Reback, argued. “First, Hart’s stipulated verbiage explicitly required him to state that ‘all charges against [Jackson] have been dropped and he is not guilty and had nothing to do with it.’ However, Hart’s actual statement lacks the explicit declaration of Plaintiff’s innocence or non-involvement. Also, Hart’s agreed-upon statement was to acknowledge the incident’s heavy impact on the loss of a valuable friendship due to the legal matter, but Hart’s actual statement focuses entirely on Hart himself ‘moving on’ and does not directly acknowledge the significant personal and professional toll on Plaintiff as outlined in the Contract.”
Jackson’s suit seeks $12 million as well as punitive damages to be determined at trial and reimbursement for legal costs and court fees. The suit also seeks injunctions requiring the defendants to exonerate him and remove “all the false statements” from Don’t F— This Up.

Kevin Hart’s club days are behind him. The comedian went viral recently when he was caught on video looking bored at the club next to Latto and Usher. However, he recently revealed that it was nothing personal. Hart told Complex’s Jaelani Turner-Williams that the video “captured a real moment and a real face.” The 44-year-old added that […]

The fallout from Katt Williams’ explosive appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast has compelled those whom he mentioned including Ludacris and Kevin Hart to respond.Veteran comedian Katt Williams’ scorched-earth appearance as a guest on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast Wednesday (Jan. 3) shook up the Internet thanks to a plethora of jokes, wise observations, and of course, his pointed barbs at other notable comedians and entertainers beginning with Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey. Ludacris and Kevin Hart were also called out with some inflammatory remarks. “In 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show, there being a line for him, ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club,” Williams said.
The Emmy Award winner returned to jab Hart again with more detail, stating: “For a five-year period, every single movie that Kevin Hart did was a movie that had been on my desk that all I had said was just, ‘Can we take some of this Stepin Fetchit shit out and then I can do it,’” adding: “Yeah, it’s interesting, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Again, I’m on the winning side of these decisions.” Hart would respond on Friday via a post on X, formerly Twitter, writing: “Gotta get that anger up outcha champ….It’s honestly sad,” Hart wrote. “In the meantime…. Please enjoy MY MOVIE TRAILER to my next film “LIFT” which will be dropping on @netflixin 8 days!!!!

Grammy Award-winning rapper and The Fast and The Furious actor Ludacris was also a target for the comedian’s barbs. “We were both invited to an Illuminati thing,” Williams said later on in the podcast. “It had to be one or the other of us, and decisions had to be made.” Ludacris would respond early Friday morning with a freestyle, seemingly aiming at Williams with the line, “Never been Illuminati, only Ill-Luda-nati.”

Sure enough, responses to Williams’ remarks surfaced after the episode’s smash airing (presently, it has over 15 million views). Cedric the Entertainer responded in the show’s comments section on Instagram, writing: “Revisionist History, regardless of whatever Katts opinion My career can’t be reduced to One Joke Katt Williams claims as his.” Trick Daddy even submitted an expletive-filled response to Williams through his own Instagram account.
Check out the other responses from Ludacris and the reactions from others on social media to those reactions below.

1. ModestyQueen19

This X user posted a further response from Cedric The Entertainer, where he states again that he doesn’t know where Williams’ accusations stem from.

2. Trick Daddy

Trick Daddy snapped back at Katt Williams, yelling “Keep all O.G.’s names out your mouth!!”

3. Michael Blackson

Comedian Michael Blackson, who was also called out by Williams, took umbrage in a thread on his own X account, ending with this joke meme.

4. Etan Thomas

The motivational speaker and writer brought up an Instagram video of Deon Cole speaking about Williams’ generosity from last month, asking others to focus on those positive elements from the interview.

5. Charles Barkley

The Katt Williams effect also hit TNT’s Inside The NBA, as Charles Barkley shouted “Don’t make me call Katt Williams on your ass!” at co-host Shaquille O’Neal. 

6. Boosie

Boosie took time out to also speak about Katt Williams’ generosity. 

7. Robert Griffin III

The former Washington Commanders quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner apparently enjoyed the Ludacris freestyle.

8. Roy Wood Jr

The comedian offered this sage statement when someone asked his opinion of Williams’ comments. 

9. ElginBarrettEugeneSmith

This X user shared a response from Gary Owen, who Williams mentioned in his interview as someone “who’s been doing standup for 25 years and never crossed over.”

Paying Cardi B might not be the only person the habitual tea spiller, Tasha K, has to worry about. Kevin Hart is now coming for whatever coins she has left.
Spotted on The Blast, comedian/actor Kevin Hart is clapping back at Tasha K via legal avenues, accusing her of extortion and defamation.
The lawsuit comes after Tasha K dropped the latest Unwine With Tasha K episode featuring Hart’s former assistant, Miesha Shakes, accusing her former boss of being a serial adulterer and a responsible gambler.
[embedded content]
According to the legal documents obtained by the website, Hart initially hit Tasha K with a cease and desist letter and let her know he was not playing the 6 figure fee to stop her from posting the interview.
Per The Blast:
In the filing, Kevin’s legal team says on November 22, 2023, they sent a letter to Tasha K regarding her “recent and ongoing violations of civil and criminal law.” Addressed with the infamous YouTuber’s real name, Latasha Transrina Kebe, the filing demanded that she “immediately cease and desist all such activity.” It continued:
“You have already engaged in criminal conduct and tortious acts that would entitle Mr. Hart to monetary damages against you should he elect to commence civil litigation regarding this matter. To the extent that you do not cease and desist now, your liability for such monetary damages will increase, as will your exposure to criminal penalties.”
Per The Blast’s reporting, Hart’s legal rep, Donte Mills, said an unknown person associated with acting on Tasha K’s instructions reached out to someone on Hart’s team, saying they would “publish a damaging story on social media (the “Story”).
If Hart didn’t want the story published, he would have to pay $250,000.
Social Media Is Clowning Tasha K
As expected, the reactions on X, formerly Twitter, are coming in, and they are all clowning Tasha K for not learning her lesson from the Cardi B situation.
“Everything Tasha K owns must be in her little niece name or something, cause she has clearly made a choice about how she moves,” Music Sermon creator Naima Cochran wrote on X. 

LOL.

A former assistant to Kevin Hart has made allegations about his serial adultery and more in a recent interview with Tasha K.
The former assistant to comedian Kevin Hart, Miesha Shakes, has come forward with scathing allegations about his behavior in a sit-down interview with celebrity blogger Tasha K claiming that Hart is a serial adulterer despite being married to his wife, Eniko Hart, and an irresponsible gambler among other charges.
[embedded content]

In the trailer for the Unwine With Tasha K episode, the host opens up by asking Shakes what compelled her to reach out.
“It is time for Hollywood to hear these stories especially because a lot of people are locked in non-disclosures and they’re not able to talk and protect themselves. But you have to protect the person you’re working for, where’s your protection?” Shakes stated.
From there, the clip shows Tasha K bringing up the scandal involving Hart and a woman he was caught on video with at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Hart would own up to his infidelity, which Shakes said was the basis for an extortion attempt against Hart.
But Shakes went further and claimed that Hart fathered another child with a woman in his company, Hartbeat Studios. “She pregnant again?,” asked Tasha K, to which Shakes responded, “Correct, with her second baby.”
Shakes also claimed she told Eniko Hart, “Kevin is cheating with a girl named Mixed Morgan. She’s his flight attendant. She’s on his planes.”
She then pulled up the Instagram profile of the woman and showed Tasha K, who responded with shock and laughter. Shakes would also go on to respond to Tasha K’s question on whether her former boss has a serious gambling problem. “Yes, his game is poker,” she replied. She also responded affirmatively before citing another person named Leland as being responsible as well.
The allegations come as Tasha K is under duress.
The blogger was recently named in a lawsuit by the disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly, who claims that she was responsible for leaking information about him with the help of personnel at the correctional facility he was being held in before his trial for sex trafficking in Illinois.
She also still has to contend with paying rapper Cardi B over $4 million after a court found her guilty of defamation earlier this year.
