A 2022 interview clip featuring Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg has resurfaced, drawing renewed attention to Hart’s ties to Sean “Diddy” Combs amid the rapper’s ongoing legal troubles. In the clip, Wahlberg playfully mocked Hart during the promotion of their Netflix film Me Time, making a jab about Diddy.
“You got more f***in’ dye in that beard than Diddy wears… ’Cause I see him, he shows me behind the curtain,” Wahlberg joked. Hart, visibly uncomfortable, responded, “That’s a f***in’ nuff. Alright, I’m going to edit this out (sic).”
The lighthearted exchange has taken on new meaning in the wake of reports linking Hart’s unease to Diddy’s current legal issues. A source told DailyMail that Hart is “on edge” over the situation, fearing potential fallout from his long-standing friendship with the embattled rapper.
“This is like a pink elephant at his company,” the insider revealed, referring to Hart’s entertainment venture, HartBeat. “Everyone is trying hard to pretend that there is nothing going on. Kevin is on edge and does not say anything, so it has been extremely tense.”
The source added that Hart’s proximity to Diddy is well-known within his inner circle. “He knows, as do his friends and employees, that he was close with Diddy and there is video footage of Kevin placing him at the scene of one of his parties.”
Diddy, 55, is currently awaiting trial at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. While Hart has yet to publicly address the resurfaced video or his relationship with Diddy, the renewed focus on their connection has reportedly created tension within his professional circles.
The resurfaced interview and ongoing speculation underscore how public associations can resurface during times of controversy, complicating personal and professional dynamics.
