Katt Williams appeared as a surprise guest at The Roast of Kevin Hart on May 10, 2026, where he publicly ended his long-standing feud with Kevin Hart by embracing him on stage.
The industry reaction was immediate. Kevin Hart addressed the surprise appearance on The Breakfast Club, noting that, "The shock factor of Katt being there. Katt's set was insane." He emphasized that the roast environment stripped away the personal animosity, stating, "There's no emotions attached to a roast."
Meanwhile, the hosts of Andrew Schulz's Flagrant took a more cynical view of the reconciliation. AlexxMedia questioned the authenticity of the truce, noting that Kevin Hart might have simply used the moment for comedic misdirection: "Well, you believed me when I said that I squashed my beef with- with Kat." The consensus remains that while the handshake was a massive ratings win, the long-term status of their relationship is still very much an open question.
