Actor, comedian and Philadelphia native Kevin Hart has a long, public friendship with disgraced businessman and rap music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
And now that Diddy remains in federal custody after being arrested in New York on a litany of federal charges, the relationship between Diddy and Hart is again under scrutiny.
Several videos making the rounds on social media appear to show Hart hanging out with Diddy, which have been cast in a new light given the salacious descriptions of Diddy’s alleged freak off parties.
Was Kevin Hart at Diddy’s freak off parties?
In the days leading up to and after Diddy’s arrest, videos emerged online from dozens of social media accounts allegedly showing Kevin Hart at Diddy’s parties.
It’s not clear if the videos are from the alleged freak off parties and none of the clips posted online so far appear to show Hart engaging in any criminal behavior.
But, the clips do catch Hart in questionable situations.
User @celebriD on social media platform X posted a heavily-circulated video of Diddy, Hart and R&B star Usher in what many viewers say offers a hint into Diddy’s seedy background:
In the posted video, Diddy makes a homophobic statement while telling Kevin Hart to not sit on the bed.
Diddy then goes into a bizarre retelling of his pre-teen relationship with R&B sensation Usher.
Another post on X shared a video of Hart allegedly attending another Diddy party, and laughing as a scantily-clad woman’s hair catches fire while in a hot tub ringed with candles. The video closes with Hart attempting to explain away the situation:
“Here ya go – @KevinHart4real laughing at a woman when her hair catches on fire at a Diddy party,” read @celebriD’s post “Then he and@georgelopez have more laughs about it. Not so funny now I guess. What else happened there? Who was involved? #diddyparty#DiddyArrested.”
X user @pimpstreettv posted an extended video allegedly showing Hart’s behavior right before the woman’s hair catches fire.
In this clip, Diddy again utters a homophobic slur before challenging Hart to freshen up before the ladies get there:
Has Kevin Hart responded to the Diddy connection?
So far, Kevin Hart hasn’t responded to nor even acknowledged the situation on his official X account or through his other social media channels.
Hart’s last post on X, dated September 16, only mentions an upcoming show in Philadelphia. Several people have responded to that post by questioning Hart’s silence, while others implored Hart to cancel his shows.
