It looks like legendary comedians Kevin Hart and Mike Epps have buried the hatchet and ended their almost 10-year-long beef. On Instagram, Hart posted a photo of them together with a warm caption expressing that everything was all good between the two.
"So happy that me and my comedy brother Mike Epps were able to settle our differences and look at the bigger picture," Hart wrote. "Life is too short and looking forward to building and doing amazing things in the future!"
The two reconciled over their shared passion for comedy, and worked together to revive BET's ComicView—after a nine-year hiatus—with Hart's production company, Hartbeat, and Epps as host.
The feud between the comedians allegedly began in 2014 when the Friday franchise star called Hart "overrated," according to Vibe. Ever since then, they have been making snarky remarks about each other.
Other comedians were thrilled to hear the news and showed their support for the two in the comments section. The 85 South podcast hosts said "Amen," while Deray Davis said, "What I've always wanted!" with some salute emojis.
All new episodes were filmed during Hartbeat Weekend in Las Vegas earlier this month. Comedy fans will get the best of both worlds, with old-school comedians like Tommy Davidson and Tony T. Roberts as well as newcomers like Bresha Webb, D.C. Young Fly, and the televised comedic standup debut of rapper Tip "T.I." Harris.
Hart expressed his excitement for the project, saying, "Having hosted ComicView in the past, I understand first-hand the incredible platform this franchise offers for comedians to showcase their talents on a national stage and I'm excited to continue that tradition in Las Vegas."
Started in 1992, ComicView has featured some of the greatest Black comedians to touch the microphone, including Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Martin Lawrence, and more, according to Newsone.
