As the host of the 2025 BET Awards, Kevin Hart was not pulling any punches.
During his monologue at the award ceremony at the Peacock Theater on Monday, June 9, Hart took out his phone and pretended to receive a text message from Kanye West.
“Oh sh*t, it’s Kanye,” he said. “Yep, he says he’s out front, he’s waiting for somebody to invite him in.”
“We all saw Sinners, don’t let his ass in here, so he could bite somebody, so he can bite Playboi Carti again, okay?” he continued.
“Nobody let Kanye in, no! Not tonight!” Hart yelled.
He then took aim at Diddy, who is currently on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering in Manhattan. The comedian said he was “shutting down afterparties” following the BET Awards.
“Take your asses home after this; that’s why I did this on a Monday,” the evening’s emcee joked. “People gotta go to work tomorrow.”
Alluding to Diddy’s alleged “Freak Offs” where an abundance of baby oil was used, Hart added, “That’s where s— gets slippery, at them goddamn afterparties. We’re learning a lot about people, ain’t we?”
Even Cardi B caught some strays from Hart as he kept the crowd laughing. The rapper is under investigation along with her boyfriend Steffon Diggs by the New England Patriots after a video of him having a pink substance went viral.
“No yachts, no boats. Cardi B, no pink stuff. What the f**k, none of that stuff. Everybody’s gonna get hit tonight,” Hart joked. “We’re live. It’s gonna be a good time.”
