Comedian Katt Williams delivered sharp commentary during Netflix's live special The Roast of Kevin Hart on Sunday, May 10, making pointed references to the embattled music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs and suggesting Hart attended the producer's notorious parties.
Williams, 54, did not hold back during the Los Angeles comedy event, directly addressing Hart's alleged connection to Diddy's gatherings. "Just because Kevin went to Diddy parties does not mean he did something wrong," Williams quipped, before adding a pointed follow-up: "The fact he gets all quiet when you bring it up … that means he did something wrong."
The joke carries significant weight given recent legal developments surrounding Diddy, whose real name is Seans Combs. The music producer is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence following his 2025 conviction on two counts of transportation for prostitution. He was also fined $500,000 and given five years supervised release following a lengthy federal trial into sex trafficking claims. The disgraced music mogul was acquitted of two sex trafficking charges and one charge of racketeering conspiracy.
Diddy, 56, has maintained his innocence against all charges. However, testimony during his trial, which began in May 2025 and concluded in July of that year, painted a disturbing picture of events dubbed "freak offs."
Among the witnesses who testified was Diddy's former girlfriend, Cassie, 39, who provided detailed accounts of these parties. She claimed that baby oil was frequently used at these events, recalling one instance of a kiddie "pool filled with baby oil" during an alleged event in Beverly Hills.
"If Sean wanted it to happen, that was what was going to happen, there was no way around it," Cassie claimed during her testimony. "We used 10 bottles of baby oil, regular size."
Cassie alleged that all attendees at these parties, including herself, would lather themselves in the baby oil. "Sean wanted it heated and he wanted it to be glistening, so we applied every five minutes," she testified.
Her testimony included additional disturbing details, claiming that Astroglide lubricant and condoms were readily available at the events and that the baby oil would often get on the walls and door handles of hotel rooms used. She alleged that blood and urine were sometimes present on bedsheets at "freak offs" because Diddy allegedly directed escorts to urinate on her and claimed she was "expected" to participate even when menstruating.
Williams used Sunday's roast as an opportunity to address his longstanding criticism of Hart, 46, whom he has previously accused of being an industry plant. The comedian did not soften his stance during the Netflix special.
"Kevin, you gonna hear some things tonight that you're not familiar with. Those things are called punchlines," Williams said, according to Variety. "Is this dance the best that the industry could put together? I'm not sure if the Illuminati is real or if this is the junior varsity version. But for those of you just joining us, Kevin and I have beef, and I'll tell you why. Because, privately, this motherf***er stole everything from me. Before he saw my act, he was a 6-foot man. I tried to tell y'all that Kevin Hart was a plant, because I keep burying him. He keeps springing back the f*** up, just like a plant."
Williams continued his assault on Hart's career trajectory, stating: "Yes, I said some things I'd like to take back, some things I said were misunderstood. I did say that he was a Hollywood puppet, and I want to explain that because it might not be what you think. I meant that the head of Netflix literally has his whole hand up Kevin's ass and can make him do anything."
The roast format traditionally allows comedians to deliver harsh jokes about the guest of honor, but Williams' comments carried particular sting given the serious legal context surrounding Diddy's conviction and imprisonment. The reference to Hart's alleged attendance at these parties adds another layer to ongoing discussions about celebrity accountability and who may have been present at events now under intense scrutiny.
The Roast of Kevin Hart is currently streaming on Netflix.
