"I have 3 stand up comedy specials that fall in the top 10 highest grossing comedy specials of all time....2 of my specials are in the top 3 of all time," Hart tweeted.

"I have been the highest grossing comedian in entertainment for years now....I have also been the highest grossing comedian in the box office with over 4 billion in earnings," he continued.

"I have also turned my comedic talent into a place of business and branding and radio and other revenue streams," Hart explained.

"The hate/slander fuels me to do more," he said.

"I rarely talk s***," Hart added, "but I felt the need to today."

He concluded with a quote mocking his detractors.

Hart had originally derided cancel culture in a long detailed rant on an interview with the Sunday Times.

"When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect? Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time? I don't understand. I don't expect perfection from my kids. I don't expect it from my wife, friends, employees," said Hart.

"They're saying that all life should be over because of a mistake?" he said elsewhere in the interview. "Your life should end and there should be no opportunity to change? What are you talking about?" he asked. "And who are you to make that decision?"

The popular comedian is starring in a movie entitled "Fatherhood" to be released on Netflix on June 18.

Katt Williams defends cancel culture, defines it as minorities striking back at people in power



Comedian Katt Williams defended cancel culture by defining it as people of color striking back against people in powerful positions taking advantage of those beneath them.

Williams made the comments while a guest on the Joe Budden Podcast published on Friday.

"If you ask all of the people that didn't make it to the NBA, if you ask them if we just lower the goal down another foot, they would all tell you they'd make it. Nobody likes the out of bounds but the outta bounds gotta be there, or you'll run up in the stands, right?" said Williams when asked about cancel culture.

"So some of these things are for the benefit of everything. Nobody likes the speed limit but it's necessary, nobody likes the shoulder of the road but it's there for a reason," he explained.

"My point is [those comedians] weren't all that extremely funny when they could say whatever they wanted to say," he said, eliciting laughter from the hosts.

"At the end of the day, there's no cancel culture. Cancellation doesn't have its own culture. That was people of color, that was us policing our own culture, that was people without a voice being trashed by people just because they had a bigger name than them, and more money than them, and a better office than them, they could sweep them up under the rug like they didn't matter," Williams continued.

"I don't know what people got cancelled that we wished we had back. I don't even know, who are they?" he asked rhetorically.

"It's done for the reasons it's done for, and it helped who it helped. If all that's going to happen is we have to be more sensitive in the way that we talk, isn't that what we want anyway? I'm saying your job as a comedian is to please the most amount of people with your art," Williams said.

"So if you want to offend you, nobody took those words away from you. 'Dirty b***h' ain't been taken away, you can say that! But don't use this word when you know this affects all of these people. Don't use the R word when you really mean people on the spectrum. Don't say this word instead of saying autistic, don't say this word instead of saying little people," he continued.

"Look, if these are the confines that keep you from doing the craft that God put for you, it probably ain't for you," Williams concluded.

Williams' comments on cancel culture appeared to gain a lot of support on social media, where the video garnered millions of views.

Seth Rogen says comedians should stop complaining about cancel culture or just leave comedy



Movie celebrity Seth Rogen said that comedians should stop complaining about cancel culture or just leave comedy altogether.

The actor made the comments during an interview with "Good Morning Britain" on Tuesday. He was asked to comment on controversial jokes from his past movies.

"There are certain jokes that for sure have not aged well, but I think that's the nature of comedy," Rogen responded.

"I think conceptually those movies are sound and I think there's a reason they've lasted as far as people still watching and enjoying them today. Jokes are not things that necessarily are built to last," he explained.

He then criticized comedians for complaining about cancel culture,.

"To me when I see comedians complaining about this kind of thing, I don't understand what they're complaining about. If you've made a joke that's aged terribly, accept it. And if you don't think it's aged terribly, then say that," he said.

Rogen added that criticism was "one of the things that goes along with being an artist, and if you don't like that, then don't be a comedian anymore."

Rogen's comments run contrary to those of many comedians who have warned that the witch hunt by the woke police has been destructive to their industry.

Chris Rock said in an interview on the "Breakfast Club" that cancel culture has made Americans afraid of saying anything at all.

"What happens is everybody gets safe and nobody tries anything. Things get boring," Rock said. "I see a lot of unfunny comedians, unfunny TV shows, unfunny movies because people are scared to make a move and that's not a good place to be.

Comedy legend Dave Chappelle criticized "Saturday Night Live" members who refused to work with Elon Musk when he was invited to host the show.

"I'm torn, because I like a warrior for a good cause, but I'm really into tactics. You're not gonna nag people into behaving in a way — in fact, if you continue with this tone, even if you're right, you'll be very hard to hear," Chappelle said.

Rogen has also said that he is actively hiring fewer white people in order to take action against racism.

Comedian Chris Rock slams  cancel culture, says it breeds 'boring' entertainment: 'People are scared to talk' and 'especially in America'



Comedian Chris Rock says that cancel culture is disrespectful to audiences and is leading to "boring" entertainment across the board.

Rock made the remarks during an interview with "Breakfast Club" hosts Angela Yee and DJ Envy on Monday.

What are the details?

Rock told the hosts that he believes canceling an entertainer will only set the industry and its players up for failure.

"It's weird when you're a comedian because when your audience doesn't laugh, we get the message. Like, you don't have to cancel us." he said. "They're not laughing. Our feelings are hurt. When we do something and people aren't laughing we get it. I don't understand why people feel the need to go beyond that."

The 56-year-old comedian added that the very idea of telling the audience where or how to find humor is disrespectful.

"Honestly to me, it's people disrespecting the audience," he continued. "Like, 'Oh, you think you know more than the audience?' The audience knows more than everybody!"

Rock added that as a result, comedians and entertainers are forced to play it safe and bland out of fears of alienating the general public and saying or doing something offensive.

"What happens is everybody gets safe and nobody tries anything. Things get boring," Rock said. "I see a lot of unfunny comedians, unfunny TV shows, unfunny movies because people are scared to make a move and that's not a good place to be. We should have the right to fail because failure is a part of art."

"It's the ultimate cancel, but now you got a place where people are scared to talk. 'That's not — especially in America — you're scared to talk, but that's what people want, you gotta make adjustments and, you know, let's do it," he added.
