Kevin Hart and Cedric the Entertainer make racist comments against Nikola Jokić – 'It’s not a good look for the NBA'

Are Kevin Hart and Cedric the Entertainer tired of seeing a white guy win the NBA’s coveted MVP award?

Jason Whitlock plays a recent conversation between the two comedians, and it looks as if that just might be true.

As the Denver Nuggets’ superstar center Nikola Jokić continues gunning toward what could be his third MVP award, Jason believes he’s getting “the Caitlin Clark treatment.”

“[Shai Gilgeous-Alexander] can take over a game at will,” Hart said, praising the OKC Thunder guard, who’s also in the running for MVP.

But when Jokić was brought up, Hart bluntly stated that “the NBA cannot give Joker any more MVPs,” because “it’s not good for the NBA,” implying that Jokić being white should disqualify him from receiving another award.

“I feel like you’re right,” Cedric followed. “[The NBA] can’t really do that at this moment.”

“This is how the DEI mind virus affects everybody,” says Jason. “They think, ‘Oh, we’ve got to color coordinate who the MVP is. A white guy can’t win it three out of four years.”’

“People are buying into this mentality of ‘No, it’s not on merit, let’s do what’s the best narrative that says the right thing about the NBA,”’ he tells Steve Kim.

“If the Nuggets hoist another Larry O'Brien trophy, it is clear beyond a reasonable doubt that Jokić is the most dominant player in the league,” says Kim, adding that he’d “love to see the tortuous reactions.”

'It’s God’s side and the other side': Comedian Katt Williams calls out Hollywood stars as 'plants' and 'deviants'

Comedian Katt Williams called out a litany of Hollywood stars in an explosive podcast that has had multiple viral clips since its release.

Williams spoke to former NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe on his "Club Shay Shay" podcast which has over 1.7 million subscribers on YouTube.

Williams has starred in numerous comedy movies and even a Grand Theft Auto video game while being a long-time stand-up comedian.

The 52-year-old pulled no punches in the interview, labeling a number of celebrities as frauds.

In one of the most widely-shared clips, Williams vehemently stated that the truth about certain celebrities would be exposed in 2024.

"They cancelled me for these things because why would you talk about another black dude? Race is not where the line is drawn, it's God's side and the other side," Williams told Sharpe.

"All of these big d*** deviants is all catching hell in 2024. It's up for all of them. It don't matter if you Diddy or whoever you is.," the comedian continued. "All lies will be exposed, that's all. And anyone who takes that the wrong way, know why they take that the wrong way. The truth is the light."

Katt Williams was COOKING in this interview.\n\n\xe2\x80\x9cRace is not where the line is drawn. It\xe2\x80\x99s God\xe2\x80\x99s side and the other side.\xe2\x80\x9d\n\nHe leaves Shannon Sharpe speechless.

In another clip, Williams called popular comedian Kevin Hart a Hollywood "plant."

"Have we heard of a comedian that came to L.A. and in his first year in L.A. he had his own sitcom on network television and had his own movie called 'Soul Plane' that he was leading?" Williams asked. "Jussie Smollet [is] going to keep lying until you say 'we don't believe you.' It's important in the checks and balances of the universe that liars [do] not get to make complete narratives for themselves," he went on.

Williams was by no means done there. Sharpe asked if he was "related" to the rapper Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, to which Williams described an offer that he and Ludacris received from the "Illuminati."

"There was a crossroads where we were both invited to an Illuminati thing and it had to be one or the other of us and decisions had to be made," he described. "Both of us we were equal, one of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn't do the sideburns thing anymore with the points, and the next person, they said, was going to get $200 million because they were going to pay him $10 million [per] movie to do 20 movies."

"That's how the conversation happened. One of those persons turned out to be Ludacris and the other person turned out to be Katt Williams," the comedian concluded.

The Ohio native went on to accuse comedian Cedric the Entertainer of directly stealing one of his most-famous comedy routines and also called out lesser-known comedian Rickey Smiley.

Smiley reportedly claimed that he was the first choice for a role Williams played in Ice Cube's 2002 movie "Friday After Next." However, Williams said that not only did he write all of the character's lines, but he specifically worked with the production crew to mold the character into his vision.

Williams claimed from that point on, he made it a requirement that if he and Smiley were to appear in any future movies together, Smiley would need to wear a dress. In a subsequent 2008 movie called "First Sunday," Smiley appeared as a female alter-ego named "Bernice Jenkins."

According to TMZ, Smiley denied any such contract and justified his use of a female character.

"Satan can't create anything," Williams also added. "That includes blessings for his people. That's why, you know what the number one job of somebody that sold their soul in Hollywood is? Is to act like it didn't happen."

Kevin Hart issues a fiery response to critics of his rant against cancel culture



Comedian Kevin Hart had a fiery response on Tuesday to the critics of his rant against cancel culture.

Hart took to his Twitter account in response to some on social media who said that he was angry about cancel culture because he wasn't funny enough.

"I got time today," he began.

The “He's not funny" slander is the best....this is for you. I have 3 stand up comedy specials that fall in the top… https://t.co/OmBWuBGwlk

"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.

'Shut the f*** up!': Actor, comedian Kevin Hart has had it with cancel culture



Kevin Hart knows a thing or two about cancel culture.

The popular comedian and actor lost his gig hosting the Academy Awards in 2019 because of tweets he posted about 10 years earlier as well as old stand-up routines that critics considered offensive for their alleged "homophobic" content.

Fellow comedians turned actors Nick Cannon and Jerry Seinfeld came out to offer their support and decry the hypocrisy and attitudes of Hollywood. But their words did not keep the Oscars brigade from their determination to set Hart straight for his years-old comments.

In an interview with the Sunday Times over the weekend, Hart made clear his views on cancel culture: "Shut the f*** up!"

What did he say?

Discussing his flourishing career, Hart pointed out to the Times what many successful celebrities who do not constantly toe the woke line have discovered: Being good at what you do makes you a target.

"[T]he bigger that you get the more people poke at you," he told the paper. "I don't know why. The road to success is amazing. Then you get there and opinions about you grow."

The Sunday Times interview then rehashed the Oscars imbroglio, noting that the Academy asked Hart to apologize for his old comments, which he initially refused to do, saying he had already addressed the old remarks and apologized. (He later apologized again, but was still elected not to host the ceremony.)

Now he's saying that if people want to dig up old comments, well, that's life.

"If people want to pull up stuff, go back to the same tweets of old, go ahead. There is nothing I can do," he told the paper. "You're looking at a younger version of myself. A comedian trying to be funny and, at that attempt, failing. Apologies were made. I understand now how it comes off. I look back and cringe. So it's growth. It's about growth."

But he has had it with canceling people for old "nonsense."

"If somebody has done something truly damaging then, absolutely, a consequence should be attached. But when you just talk about ... nonsense?" Hart said. “When you're talking, 'Someone said! They need to be taken [down]!' Shut the f*** up! What are you talking about?"

"When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect? Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time?" he continued. "I don't understand. I don't expect perfection from my kids. I don't expect it from my wife, friends, employees. Because, last I checked, the only way you grow up is from f***ing up. I don't know a kid who hasn't f***ed up or done some dumb s**t."

Sounding fed up with all of it, the paper said, he noted, "I've been cancelled, what, three or four times? Never bothered," adding, "If you allow it to have an effect on you, it will."

"That's not how I operate. I understand people are human. Everyone can change," Hart said. "It's like jail. People get locked up so they can be taught a lesson. When they get out, they are supposed to be better. But if they come out and people go, 'I'm not giving you a job because you were in jail' — then what the f*** did I go to jail for? That was my punishment — how do you not give those people a shot?"

People change, the actor said, and that should be allowed — plus, who is the woke crowd to decide who gets another shot?

"They're saying that all life should be over because of a mistake? 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 movement, he added, has had a negative impact on comedy:

Though he claims not to be bothered by cancel culture, he does admit that comedy has changed because of it. He started in stand-up in the late 1990s with the stage name Lil Kev the Bastard, before his first big comedy special, I'm a Grown Little Man, took him to new heights in 2009, with cathartic jokes about his stature: he is 5ft 2in. Back then the circuit was unfiltered, he says, but now comics feel censored and have lost the freedom once attached to their craft. “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."

But if he is not, as he says, affected by the persistent threat of cancellation, why change the comedy he does? “It's not necessarily about cancel culture," he elaborates. “It's backlash. It's about the intent behind what you say — there's an assumption it's always bad and, somehow, we forgot comedians are going for the laugh. You're not saying something to make people angry. That's not why I'm on stage. I'm trying to make you laugh and if I did not make you laugh I failed. That's my consequence."

Hart concluded that his comedy is bringing people together, not tearing people apart — unlike cancel culture and our politics today.

"If there's a message to take from anything I've said, it's that in this world of opinion, it's OK to just disagree," he said, adding, "We are so caught up in everybody feeling like they have to be right and their way is the only way. Politics is f***ed up because, if you don't choose our side, you're dumb."

"It's a divide," Hart added. "It's f***ed up. But I'm not about to divide. I don't support the divide!"

"I put everybody in the f***ing building," he said. "We all come into this building Kevin Hart is in and we all laugh. I bring people together — like it or not."

Chris Rock Is Right: Cancel Culture Is Unfair To Audiences

Rock said attempts at canceling are "a disrespect to the audience," who ought to be allowed to determine what they do and don't like for themselves.
