Kevin Hart, also known as the self-proclaimed comedic rockstar, didn’t take kindly to a fan’s insinuation all he does is make “stereotypical movies.”
Thursday evening (January 28) Hart took sometime off from his international “What Now Tour” to respond to the claim that all his films are generic and only cater to a predominately black audience.
“when are black celebs like @KevinHart4real & @MarlonWayans gonna stop doing stereotypical movies?”

The Philly native quickly rebuffed TaShyon’s claim stating the problem isn’t the films being made, but the lack of support.
When are black people going to stop being so hard on their own kind…We can’t do better until we support each other https://t.co/nPC1MA273t — Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4real) January 28, 2016
From the movie business…Ex “Black Movies”….I make movies for everyone, I’m actually overseas promoting my movie on a international level

I’m busting my ass so other actors of color can eventually get the title “Black Movie Category” removed from the projects that we do.

So @tashyonlaneigh I want u 2 realize that people with ur mindset & level of thinking are the reason why our movies get categorized — Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4real) January 28, 2016

Never not working, Hart quickly used the extra attention on his timeline to remind people Ride Along 2 featuring his partner crime Ice Cube would hit theaters.
With that being said go see “Ride Along 2” because it’s a good “MOVIE”…now back to your regular scheduled programs 😂😂😂 #RideAlong2
