Kevin Hart Distances Himself From Diddy After Being Asked About 'Hosting' His Parties: 'Wrong Person'

Kevin Hart is steering clear of the controversy surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs and his legal troubles.

When recently asked if he witnessed any questionable behavior during the rapper's infamous parties—events Hart had previously hosted—the comedian tactfully avoided the subject.

As Sean "Diddy" Combs' case continues to unfold, other prominent celebrities who attended his parties have similarly denied knowing about any alleged criminal activities linked to the rapper.

During a recent outing with his wife, Eniko, Hart was met by reporters who were interested in knowing whether he had any knowledge of the allegations Diddy is being accused of.

At the center of the allegations are events called "Freak Offs," which have been described as hedonistic bashes organized by the rapper that involved male prostitutes and female victims.

Diddy's indictment had also revealed that 1000 bottles of baby oil were found at one of his homes, which was raided earlier in the year.

Rather than confirm or deny any knowledge of the notorious parties or the baby oil, Hart chose to sidestep their questions entirely, even when reminded that he had once hosted events for the rapper.

"When I hosted for Diddy? You're asking the wrong person the wrong question," Hart told the reporters, per the Daily Mail.

The comedian also chose to maintain his no-response stance when asked if Diddy would be safe in jail.

"Wrong person, wrong question," he said again, after which he walked off with his wife.

Hart is one of the many celebrities who have distanced themselves from Diddy amid the rapper's legal woes.

A source for Leonardo DiCaprio recently claimed that the actor had "absolutely nothing to do" with Diddy's "Freak Offs," per Daily Mail.

Ashton Kutcher also denied involvement in any of Diddy's allegations, despite a resurfaced video showing him saying that they shared a friendship.

An insider told People Magazine about Kutcher, "He doesn't belong in this conversation about Diddy. Ashton has only seen Diddy in a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media."

Additionally, Justin Bieber, who once had a cordial association with Diddy as a teen sensation, was said to have no interest in addressing the allegations against Diddy.

Quite a number of other high-profile celebrities, such as LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes, and Kim Kardashian, have also unfollowed Diddy on social media.

Diddy's next court date is October 9, and a status conference will be held to discuss the case's progress.

The outcome of the meeting will help determine a possible date for the jury selection process and the rapper's trial.

Ahead of the trial, there is a possibility that additional charges could be brought against Diddy despite his current charges already being felonies, some of which carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

It comes after federal prosecutors confirmed they are continuing their investigation into the rapper, though they did not disclose the specific direction of their inquiry.

Meanwhile, as the case continues to unfold, experts have speculated about Diddy's defense.

"They're going to attack the indictment. They're going to say there was no coercion," criminal defense lawyer Mark Eiglarsh said in a recent interview, per NewsNation. "It was voluntary. Everybody wanted to be there."

Following Diddy's arrest earlier in the month, he was denied bail twice and is being held in a detention facility in New York.

While earlier speculations claimed that the rapper's situation had made him suicidal, his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, refuted those claims.

Recently, he has shared that Diddy is fully focused on his defense and is remarkably positive mentally.

"His state of mind is actually remarkably positive," Diddty's attorney Marc Agnifilo said on TMZ's "The Downfall of Diddy" documentary. "I spend several hours with him every day. His resolve is strong, he's engaged, he's focused on his defense."

Agnifilo continued, "He is so focused on trying to right his wrong that it's actually giving him a form of strength and a form of confidence that I think is going to get him through a difficult time."

Amid his stay at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, Agnifilo disclosed that Diddy would likely not accept a plea deal from the government as he remains firm on proving his innocence.

Agnifilo made the remarks in TMZ's "The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment," where he noted that Diddy's acceptance of a plea deal was not up to him.

"It's up to Mr. Combs, and I don't see it happening because he believes he's innocent," the attorney said. "And what's more, he believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself — for his family and for everybody who's been targeted by the federal government."

"He feels an obligation to those people to say, 'You know what, maybe I can break the model. Maybe I can show the world that a Black man can win in federal court,'" Agnifilo added. "And I think he probably is the only person I know of who might be able to actually accomplish that goal."
