Kevin Hart extended “an olive branch of peace” to Katt Williams on Sunday after “years on years … at odds.”
During the “Roast of Kevin Hart” on Netflix over the weekend, Williams made a shock appearance onstage.
“You coming out here, quite the f–king surprise,” Hart, 46, said. “But, Katt, I can sit and I can watch you, I can laugh, because I’m a f–king fan first, OK? I’m a fan first.”
He pointed out that they “have an opportunity in real time [on] live television to put [their] f–king beef behind” them.
The “Ride Along” star said, “I am offering you an olive branch of peace. I want to be a brother, I want to be a friend. Katt, I want to move on. Can we move on, man?”
Williams, 54, subsequently shook Hart’s hand and embraced him.
Later in the roast, Hart joked, “Everybody has said tonight that I can’t act. … What I want you to do is go back and look at that moment where I shook Katt’s hand and I looked him in the eye, and I said, ‘I just want us to be friends.’ Some of the best f–king acting that I’ve ever did in my career.
“I did not mean one word of what I said,” he quipped. “F–k Katt Williams! F–k Katt Williams!”
Prior to the public reconciliation, Williams dubbed himself one of Hart’s “enemies” and shared his “surprise” at being invited to take part.
He also called out Hart for attending Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous fêtes before the embattled music mogul, 56, was sentenced to four years in federal prison over two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
“Just because Kevin went to Diddy parties does not mean he did something wrong,” Williams said. “The fact that he gets all quiet when you bring it up, that means he did something wrong.”
