Kevin Hart gives cryptic response as he’s asked about hosting parties for P Diddy

Kevin Hart was seen attending one of Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs’ parties in a video that resurfaced after the rapper was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges

Kevin Hart seems to be trying to distance himself from Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs as the rapper awaits trial for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Kevin was seen going for dinner with Eniko Hart at LAVO restaurant in West Hollywood as he was asked about his links to P Diddy. As the comedian arrived at the restaurant, he was asked about his friendship with Diddy and quizzed on his time hosting a party for the disgraced music mogul.

However, Kevin seemed to deny having any involvement in the infamous parties. “When I hosted for Diddy? You’re asking the wrong person the wrong question,” he was heard saying in a new video.

Kevin was then asked if he thinks Diddy is “safe in jail”. The 54-year-old rapper is currently being detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which is known for its poor conditions.

In a video obtained by The Daily Mail, Kevin replied: “Wrong person, wrong question.” The comments come after a video resurfaced of Kevin standing next to a bathtub at one of Diddy’s parties.

In the clip, he was seen holding a microphone while a woman sat next to him wearing a red bikini. Another female guest was sitting in the bathtub, which was filled with water.

In another part of the video, Kevin was seen standing beside a bed Diddy sat on, drinking champagne. Kevin joked: “If we can, let’s just move the camera a little this way. I don’t want my shot to even come close to the bed at all.”

As the camera panned around, it showed what appeared to be a silver sex toy left on the bed. Kevin also went on a rant in the video and repeatedly used the N-word.

Diddy has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all of the charges against him.

The rapper is currently appealing a court ruling that states he is to remain in prison while awaiting trial. Diddy’s legal team filed a notice on Monday which appealed a federal court’s decision to deny Diddy bail twice.

A source close to Diddy revealed to The Mirror US details of the latest court filing. “A notice of appeal was filed in the second circuit regarding Mr. Combs’ detention.

“This is a standard notice to the court and the actual appeal brief will be filed soon,” they said. The source also said Diddy is putting together a “dream team” of attorneys for his criminal trial.

The source continued: “Sean Combs is building his dream legal defense team, adding Anthony Ricco and Alexandra Shapiro to the trial team. Tony is one of the finest trial lawyers in the country. Alexandra is hands-down the best appellate lawyer practicing today.”
