Comedian Kevin Hart brought up the strained connection he has had with Michael Jordan for more than eight years, beginning with a charity event he sponsored: “Michael didn’t speak to me for years, stemming from an event that I hosted.” This incident occurred during Hart’s current Acting My Age tour. I made a few jokes about him coming in late, but Michael might have taken them personally.

All of a sudden, it was over. I was only attempting to set the mood for a good time. In all honesty, I wasn’t intentionally malicious. After that, “it became common knowledge, and Michael Jordan hasn’t spoken to me since,” the Night School star claimed.

The actor, who was born in 1979, informed the audience that Michael and he “just don’t vibe” and that Michael “is not a real fan of Kevin Hart.” Now that he’s at a point in his life where it’s hard for anyone to disturb him, Kevin Hart claims he doesn’t care about the issue anymore. My age is 45. The minor things will begin to seem insignificant at some point. I’ve changed a lot from how I was before.

Kevin has a history of making fun of Michael Jordan. The actor had previously made fun of Michael’s style and beard on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2016, describing him as “a terrible dresser” and raving about his “one of the worst pairs of jeans I’ve ever seen in my life.”

If that wasn’t bad enough, Kevin went on to say that Michael’s kids weren’t doing enough to live up to their father’s reputation. Regardless of the criticism, NBA icon Michael Jordan’s 34-year-old son, Marcus, has described Kevin as a “very funny guy” after seeing one of his performances in July.
