Comedian Kevin Hart, amid a major international tour, recently had his planned show in Cairo canceled. A statement by Egyptian event management company R Productions blamed the cancellation on “local production issues.” However, widespread speculation is many Egyptians took offense at Hart’s reported comments about the Black history of Egypt, prompting the show’s cancellation.

Kevin Hart publicly voiced his opinion about the feud between Chris Rock and Will Smith during the most recent episode of the Drink Champs podcast, which was released earlier this month.
