Mike Epps pounced on the opportunity to take a jab at fellow comic Kevin Hart after a fan offered his opinion in the comments of a photo featuring Epps and Eddie Murphy in the upcoming “Dolemite” biopic.
“Eddie Murphy funnier than Kevin Hart still,” the fan commented on the photo.
“[Expletive] everybody is,” Epps responded.
“It’s a shame everybody isn’t selling tickets like me tho…” Hart clapped back with a mention to Epps.
When Comedy Hype caught wind of the tiff and posted it, Epps responded that the exchange was “not press worthy.”
Hart responded with a lengthy post.
An excerpt reads as follows:
“All I can say is you’re a sad individual. I’ve talked to you several times face to face in attempts to put the B.S. behind us. When will you realize that my success has nothing to do with you or your journey. Unlike you, I want to see you win…I’m actually a fan champ. I will continue to shine and continue to make history and continue to do comedy at the highest level. If that makes you sick, then so be it…I will hand you a throw up bucket because this next year that I’m about to have will be my best Mr. Bitter.”
Epps responded with a lengthy post of his own.
“You still starving to be a victim? I said it wasn’t press worthy, and here you go as usual trying to show the world how great you are because people pick on you. You have a long line of [expletive] to clean up before you can hand me a [expletive] bucket. I’ve been doing this [expletive] for 25 years Mr. Victim. Don’t get too cute lil brother.
I talk about everybody, but you always take it personal. For everybody reading this, me and Kevin been knowing each other too long, so this is not a beef. If it was, I never would have responded. Again, like I told you face to face, congrats on everything man. You seem to be a great person…but I still don’t think yo’ [expletive] is funny.”
