  • Kevin Hart said critics "are what makes this business fun"
  • He mentioned his achievements in response to criticisms
  • The actor opened up about the cancel culture in a recent interview

Kevin Hart has clapped back at his critics who claim he isn't funny anymore.

The 41-year-old comedian, who is currently promoting his forthcoming Netflix movie "Fatherhood," took to Twitter Tuesday to address the criticisms thrown at him recently.

"I got time today..." the comedian wrote before adding a series of tweets. He neither dropped any name nor responded to any particular tweet. However, he tweeted, "The 'He's not funny' slander is the best....This is for you."

Hart went on to mention his achievements and wrote, "I have 3 stand-up comedy specials that fall in the top 10 highest-grossing comedy specials of all time....2 of my specials are in the top 3 of all time."

"I have been the highest-grossing comedian in entertainment for years now... I have also been the highest-grossing comedian at the box office with over 4 billion in earnings ...." the "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" star also noted. "I have also turned my comedic talent into a place of business and branding and radio and other revenue streams....The hate/slander fuels me to do more."

The comedian further addressed the critics by saying, "You guys are what makes this business fun....because it's not about getting to the top....it's about doing your best to stay on top after you get there."

"I rarely talk sh-t....but I felt the need to today," he added.

Hart then urged everyone to read "actual articles" instead of just reading the headlines. "You guys fall for the banana in the tail pipe trick every damn time," he noted.

Finally, he quoted rapper J Cole. "If ur laughing at a millionaire the jokes on YOU," he concluded the series of tweets. "Now back to ur regularly scheduled program. Live love and laugh!!!!"

The comedian also opened up about the cancel culture in a recent interview with The Times. Hart said he had been canceled multiple times in the past but it didn't bother him.

"When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect?" Hart explained. "Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time? I don't understand. I don't expect perfection from my kids. I don't expect it from my wife, friends, employees. Because, last I checked, the only way you grow up is from f---ing up. I don't know a kid who hasn't f---ed up or done some dumb s---."

Hart's "Fatherhood" is set to come out Friday on Netflix. He will also be featured in Patrick Hughes' "The Man from Toronto," which is slated for release on Jan. 14, 2022.
