Kevin Hart Warns BET Awards: Don’t Invite Kanye West in ‘So He Can Bite Somebody’

Kevin Hart took a dig at Kanye West and subtly roasted Sean 'Diddy' Combs during his monologue at the 2025 BET Awards last night.

The host largely kept his roasts light and fun as he opened the show, noting all the stars in the building and joking near the end of his set that he’d been receiving calls all day from folks hoping to snag a seat. He gave shout-outs to Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. (Lil Wayne), Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. (Snoop Dogg), and Gloria Hallelujah Woods — “A lot of people expected to see a big church lady in the back selling fish plates,” Hart cracked of the latter. Kendrick Lamar took home Album of the Year for GNX, while Doechii gave one of the night’s most fiery speeches after winning Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, slamming President Donald Trump’s response to the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.
