Kevin Hart appeared to dissociate himself from Diddy after he was asked about hosting parties with the disgraced music mogul in exclusive new DailyMail.com video.
The comedian, 45, was grilled about his links to the rapper, real name Sean Combs, while heading to dinner with wife Eniko Hart, 40, at LAVO restaurant in West Hollywood last week.
Hart was seen arriving at the restaurant before being asked if he recalls seeing any of the now infamous bottles of baby oil found at Combs’s home when he had ‘hosted parties’ for the Bad Boy founder.
But the actor was quick to deny having any involvement in the sordid parties, firing back: ‘When I hosted for Diddy? You’re asking the wrong person the wrong question.’
When pressed on whether Combs would be safe in jail, Hart again tried to deflect.
‘Wrong person, wrong question,’ he replied before walking off with his wife and bodyguard.
The actor’s comments come as now-questionable videos and photos of Diddy partying with A-list stars have recently resurfaced and gone viral on social media following his arrest.
Combs, 54, is currently awaiting trial behind bars after being arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in New York on September 16.
A federal indictment alleges that since 2008 Combs had abused, threatened, and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.
Prosecutors also revealed evidence had been gathered of the Hollywood star’s long-rumored drug-fueled sex parties — which he referred to as ‘freak offs’ — during their raids on his Los Angeles and Miami homes, finding, ‘electronic devices that contain images and videos of the freak offs, with multiple victims.’
Unmarked AR-15s, ammunition, as well as more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and other lubricant were also recovered in the raid.
Among the footage now circulating online is a clip that purports to show Hart and Combs at a party together at the height of the music executive’s hedonistic heyday in 2010.
One post on X showed footage of the comedy star speaking into a microphone while surrounded by scantily-clad women in what appears to be a candle-lit bathroom during a party.
At one point Hart can be seen bursting into laughter after a woman’s hair catches fire as she’s in the tub.
The accompanying caption read: ‘@KevinHart4real laughing at a woman when her hair catches on fire at a Diddy party. Not so funny now I guess. What else happened there? Who was involved?’
It also comes after news broke earlier this month that Hart has abruptly closed down Hart House, his vegan fast-food restaurant chain in Los Angele, sparking conspiracies online that it could be connected with Diddy’s arrest.
Earlier this month Hart House announced the closure of its four Southern California outlets with a farewell message on Instagram saying: ‘Thank You. A Hartfelt goodbye for now as we start a new chapter.’
The restaurant opened its doors in 2022 in the midst of a wave of plant-based burger choices in Los Angeles, with the goal of providing a conventional fast-food experience at a reasonable price without using any animal ingredients.
Hart House didn’t even declare its ambitions to grow until January, when it said it would be looking at opening four to six new sites as well as markets in Atlanta and Washington, DC.
