Kevin Hart says it’s a bad idea to lend money to family and friends and that he doesn’t do it.
“No, you can’t do that sh*t. You’ll go crazy trying to make everybody happy,” he told Charlamagne. “They say loanin’ people money is the easiest way to get rid of people, right? So, if you don’t want people in your life, give ’em money, and nine times out of ten, you won’t ever see ’em again.”
It wasn’t always that way. Years back, he lent Tiffany Haddish money before she became a huge star.
“I had no idea until I saw a sh*tload of clothes in her car outside of a comedy club in LA. I asked her what was going on and she down played [sic] the situation,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I reached in my pocket and gave her all the money I had which was $300 at the time. She held onto that moment . . . That moment gave her a bed & shower for a couple of nights. This woman never let her life situation beat her. She stayed true to her dreams and bust her ass to get where she is today.”
