‘Somebody Had a Growth Spurt’: Fans Zoom In on Kevin Hart After Snoop Dogg Posts Hilarious Photo of Them Together

Snoop Dogg’s got jokes.

On Tuesday, Aug. 10, he uploaded a photo of himself and Kevin Hart posing together on the set of their “Olympic Highlights” show. The Peacock TV segment gave the comedian and the rapper a chance to show off their sports commentary skills as they reviewed some highlights from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

But something seemed obviously different about the photo. The two were seemingly resembling each other in several ways. They each wore blazers, stood in similar poses with their hands crossed and deadpan facial expressions, and they were strangely the same height. The stand-up comedian, who is said to be between the height of 5 feet 2 and 5 feet 4, was miraculously just as tall as Snoop, who is about 6 feet 4. The L.A. rapper jokingly wrote, “Me and @kevinhart4real took the Olympics 2 new heights 👊🏾👏🏿🤣🎊. 🇺🇸 🏅.”

Fans reacted to the hilarious photo. One person said, “Somebody had a growth spurt.” What made the photo even more hilarious was fans pointing out that someone forgot to edit Kevin’s shadow to match the edited height. A fan wrote, “Why his shadow still short tho 😂,” and someone else said, “Why Kevin Shadow Snitchin on him 😂.”

Others mentioned that something looked off with the “Think Like a Man” actor’s knees. “Yo I just realized whats going on..but He ain’t got no knees thoughhhhh 😂😂😂,” they wrote.

Despite being made fun of for his height and even using it as part of his jokes at times, he’s actually “beyond confident” in his size, according to what he told Oprah Winfrey in a past interview. Hart seems to have no desire in dwelling on his stature.

He told Winfrey, “I don’t believe in doing things to manufacture my body to appeal to what I think people might like. This is it. This is what I was given. This is my playing cards. If we were playing poker, I’ve got to make this hand work. This is it for me. And this is what I’m going to ride out. So how do you not embrace it? You get one life. One. You get one life. I’m going to embrace mine.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
