Kevin Hart is distancing himself from music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs after being pressed about their past association. The comedian, who was out for dinner with his wife, Eniko Hart, was approached by a reporter outside LAVO restaurant in West Hollywood last week. The reporter questioned Hart about his involvement in parties allegedly hosted by Diddy, who has been embroiled in a series of legal issues.
As Hart arrived at the restaurant, the reporter brought up the controversial nature of Diddy’s infamous parties, asking the comedian if he recalled seeing bottles of baby oil at Diddy’s home. This was a reference to reports that over 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found at the rapper’s residence. The reporter implied that Hart had hosted some of these parties, an accusation Hart immediately rejected. “When I hosted for Diddy? You’re asking the wrong person the wrong question,” Hart snapped, clearly not amused by the line of questioning.
Kevin Hart Refuses to Comment on Diddy’s Legal Troubles
The interaction didn’t end there. The reporter pushed further, asking whether Hart believed Diddy would be safe in jail. Once again, the comedian refused to engage. “Wrong person, wrong question,” Hart repeated, before heading inside with his wife. The questions stem from recent resurfaced videos and photos showing Diddy partying with several A-list celebrities, including Hart. These videos have sparked renewed speculation about the extent of Hart’s association with the disgraced rapper.
In one particularly notable clip, Hart is seen standing beside a bathtub, holding a microphone, with a scantily clad woman next to him. The video takes a bizarre turn when the woman’s hair catches fire after it touches a nearby candle. Hart quickly tells the camera crew to cut the footage, but not before joking about the incident and reassuring everyone that the woman is fine. In another segment, Hart is seen next to Diddy, where the comedian makes an awkward joke about not wanting the camera to show the bed in the background—upon which a silver sex toy was reportedly spotted.
Despite these videos, Hart has made it clear that he wants no part in Diddy’s current controversies, especially given Diddy’s recent arrest on federal sex crime charges. The rap mogul faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges during his arraignment and remains in pretrial detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He is currently on suicide watch after a federal judge denied his $50 million bail request twice.

Kevin Hart’s Controversial Past and His Brand Resilience
Kevin Hart has navigated his share of controversies throughout his career, but his brand remains one of the strongest in the entertainment industry. Known for his stand-up comedy, acting roles, and close ties with Hollywood’s elite, Hart is no stranger to being in the public eye. However, when it comes to his connection with Diddy, Hart has been quick to shut down any association.
The resurfacing of old videos showing Hart at Diddy’s parties has only added fuel to the fire of speculation, with some fans questioning just how involved Hart was in the rapper’s private affairs. One particularly troubling video shows Hart awkwardly interviewing Diddy and fellow musician Usher in a bedroom. Diddy made unsettling remarks about Usher, whom he mentored as a child. Hart, visibly uncomfortable, attempts to gloss over the comments and steer the conversation in another direction.
With Diddy’s legal troubles making headlines and more footage from his past parties circulating online, Hart seems determined to distance himself from the scandal. Despite the awkward questions and resurfaced videos, Hart continues to stay focused on his successful career while leaving the drama of Diddy’s situation behind him. Whether the comedian will face further scrutiny for his past connection with the rap mogul remains to be seen, but for now, Hart has made it clear he’s not interested in addressing any of it.
