Kevin Hart Gets Roasted By Kai Cenat During Livestream Just ‘Like Kevin Did Don Cheadle’ on ‘Hart to Hart,’ Fans Say

Kevin Hart is not getting the last laugh following his antics-filled appearance on Twitch star Kai Cenat’s livestream.

The gamer has had a host of well-known celebrities join him for extended stream sessions, with Hart being the latest to dwell in his gaming room on May 23. As to be expected, the comedian was the butt of a joke about his height when Cenat presented him with a step stool as a token of his appreciation early on in their hangout.

“I feel like in order for me to show you my appreciation I had to give you a gift. … I put a lot of thought and consideration into this and I feel like you’re going to love it. … You can use this whenever, and I feel like you deserve it out of everybody,” said the digital superstar. Hart, who is very generously listed as 5 feet 5, was unamused but still obliged the New York native as he tested out the steps.

However, more laughter was dished when the 22-year-old again made the box office star the laughingstock of his millions of followers. Elsewhere in the stream, Hart surprises Cenat with matching Fabletics sweatsuits. As Cenat sat with his eyes covered and Hart dug out the items from a box, he asked the “Laugh at My Pain” storyteller about his birthday.

As Hart shared his date of birth and that on July 6 he would be 45 years old, Cenat said, “Damn!”

The “Die Hart” actor turned and faced the Twitch personality, who still had his eyes covered, and remarked, “What, what, what, what the f—k was that? What the f—k was that? C’mon, man.” The exchange was like a flashback for the comedy rock star’s followers. 

“Yo Kai just did Kevin Hart like Kevin did Don Cheadle,” tweeted one person. The “full circle” moment referenced is Don Cheadle’s 2021 appearance on “Hart to Hart.” During his chat with Hart, Cheadle mentioned that he was 56 years old, to which the entertainment mogul quipped, “Damn!” Without skipping a beat, the friends exchanged glares before moving forward with their conversation during the sit-down.

Cheadle would later defend his pal against backlash. “EVERYBODY, please watch the entire episode. On top of understanding that this is just how we play it’s a really good one, I think,” the “Iron Man” star posted on X.

Still, another person who peeped the recent Twitch incident posted, “Ever since he shaded Don Cheadle my boy grey’s been popping out like DD’s!” referring to the gray hairs in Hart’s beard.

Other comments included those that pointed out that Cenat and Hart shared a dynamic that could pan out as lucrative for the big screen. “That Kevin Hart and Kai Cenat live stream was like looking at a father and son comedy. Very entertaining!” read a post. Another person said, “Bruh the clips from Kai Cenat and Kevin Hart stream are k!lling me The look and act like father and son fr.”

The Hartbeat co-founder has four children of his own: daughter Heaven and son Hendrix, whom he shares with his ex-wife Torrei Hart; and another son Kenzo and daughter Kaori, whom he shares with current wife Eniko Hart. 

Fans are often calling out how Hart’s youngest son and his oldest appear taller than him in family photos, but now fans have someone else to compare his height to.

The family man and comedian will soon head out on his “Acting My Age Tour” which kicks off in Pennsylvania next month.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
