Kevin Hart ‘On Edge’ As His Friendship With Diddy Comes Under Scrutiny After Arrest: REPORT  

Kevin Hart is feeling very nervous in the wake of the arrest of his pal Diddy for sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, a new source is claiming.

Everyone has been waiting to see how many celebrities will talk about the massive scandal since so many attended his parties for years. Of course, we now know Diddy was accused of hosting “freak offs” — post-party events. Per the indictment, the 54-year-old music mogul allegedly drugged and forced people to perform non-consensual sex acts, often even recording them. We have absolutely no idea who knew what or attended those at this time.

However, Kevin’s name has come up a lot on social media since the arrest, as it appears he had a close relationship with Diddy. A video even surfaced online of the comedian allegedly emceeing one of the rapper’s parties. Take a look (Below):

There are also several photos of the pair together, going all the way back to 2010. So they definitely know each other! But when asked about hosting Diddy’s parties earlier this week, Kevin fully tried to dodge the question and distance himself from the Bad Boy Records founder. Now, a source claimed to Dailymail.com on Saturday that Kevin is “on edge” as his friendship with Diddy comes under scrutiny due to that resurfaced video. According to the outlet, things are especially “tense” at his multi-platform media company, HartBeat. The insider alleged:

“This is like a pink elephant at his company. Everyone is trying hard to pretend that there is nothing going on. Kevin is on edge and does not say anything so it has been extremely tense. Kevin knows, as do his friends and employees, that he was close with Diddy and there is video footage of Kevin placing him at the scene of one of his parties.”

The insider continued:

“Kevin is used to creating the jokes and now he is the brunt of the joke. His social media is flooded with comments about Diddy and their friendship.”

All of this is bad timing as he is on the road for his Acting My Age comedy tour. But don’t expect him to address any of this! The insider claimed “he won’t” right now:

“There is talk that he is unsure how this tour is going to play out because he knows that people want to hear him talk about this and he won’t. Seeing Kevin navigate this is difficult because he is usually a man of many words and now he is a man of few words.”

Hmm. “A man of few words” regarding this situation was pretty clear this week…
