In February 2023, Kevin Hart made major headlines after his upcoming show in Cairo, Egypt was reportedly canceled following the comedian’s alleged controversial statements claiming ancient Egyptian kings were Black.
The Egyptian management group, R Productions in a statement on Monday, stated that; ‘local logistical issues’ forced them to call off Kevin Hart’s debut event in the country.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share with you, due to local logistical issues, the cancellation of our Kevin Hart event scheduled for Tuesday, February 21st, in Cairo,” the company shared via Facebook.
However, according to unconfirmed reports, the comedian came under heavy backlash for alleged statements in which he took an “Afrocentric” stance regarding Egyptian history.
“We must teach our children the true history of Black Africans when they were kings in Egypt and not just the era of slavery that is cemented by education in America. Do you remember the time when we were kings?” Hart allegedly stated.
In response to the alleged statement, a wave of dissenting views from Egyptians on Twitter ensued, many of them calling for the cancellation of Kevin Hart’s scheduled show.
