Katt Williams and Kevin Hart have been trading insults for years. But on Sunday night, the superstar comics finally ended their feud.

The beef between the two chilled when Williams arrived at The Roast of Kevin Hart. The Woke Foke comic was a surprise guest at the star-studded Netflix event on May 10 in Los Angeles.

After taking the stage, Williams fired off a round of friendly verbal jabs at Hart.

“I’m surprised they invited me,” he said. “That’s how little star power you have. They had to start inviting your enemies. I said, ‘I hate him.’ They said, ‘Come anyway.’”

Williams wasn’t done and told the Central Intelligence star he’ll never be great or the GOAT.

“Kevin, I’ve won an Emmy Award, but this is going to be my best acting tonight as I pretend like you are a GOAT for the people at home,” said Williams.

Hart wasn’t his only target. The Friday After Next star took aim at the other celebrity roasters, which included host Shane Gillis, Pete Davidson, Chelsea Handler, Draymond Green, Tony Hinchcliffe, Sheryl Underwood, Jeff Ross, Big Jay Oakerson, and Regina Hall.

“Is this dais the best 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,” said Williams, who in the past has claimed Hart picked up roles he rejected.

Williams added, “I tried to tell y’all that Kevin Hart was a plant, because I keep burying him. He keeps springing back the f–k up, just like a plant.”

The comic has frequently called Hart an industry “plant,” who sold out to make it big.

Unlike in 2023 when he tore into Hart on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Williams shook his hand on Sunday night and the two embraced.

“Me and this man have been at odds for years on years,” said Hart. “You coming out here was quite the f–king surprise. But Katt, I can sit, I can watch you, I can laugh because I’m a f–king fan first. Katt, we have an opportunity in real time. This is live television to put our f–king beef behind us. I am offering you an olive branch of peace. I want to be a brother. I want to be a friend, Katt. I want to move on. Can we move on?”

Later, when it was time for Hart’s set, he got revenge on Williams.

“Katt said tonight that I took all his movies that he turned down. All right, let’s unpack it,” said Hart.

“Katt, you’re telling me you turned down Jumanji 1, 2, 3; Ride Along 1, 2; Central Intelligence; Think Like a Man 1 and 2; The Upside; About Last Night; Me Time; Borderlands; Man From Toronto so you could do a cameo in Norbit. What the f–k are you telling me? Katt, you can’t be in my f–king movies. You think they want a f–king pimp in Jumanji?” he added.

Hart continued to dish it out after feeling the burn from former roastee Tom Brady.

Also taking the stage were Usher, Lizzo, Venus and Serena Williams, Teyana Taylor, and Hart’s frequent collaborator, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Laughing from the audience were the comedian’s wife Eniko, plus Jennifer Lopez, Tiffany Haddish, Deon Cole, and Funny AF winner Ron Taylor.
