While Sinbad completely co-signed Hart’s talent, he waved his finger at Hollywood politics.

“Kevin Hart right now ‘is’ the one. I was talking to someone earlier about this,” Sinbad told SOHH. “I hate that Hollywood can only find room for one of us. You can see six, seven, eight standups all making money but you’ll only be able to find one black standup and it’s been like that since the beginning.” (SOHH)

The movie actor also applauded Hart for being smart as his career flourishes.

“It’s been like that since the beginning and that’s the one they throw everything at. I wish it would spread because there’s a lot of funny guys out there but Kevin is smart, he’s doing it right and I’m loving what he’s doing.” (SOHH)

Kevin Hart previously spoke to SOHH about his hip-hop connects.

“I can’t speak on [other] comedians in particular because I don’t know the relationships that they have,” Hart told SOHH when asked about the symmetry between comedians and hip-hop. “I know I have relationships with a lot of entertainers, a lot of the rap artists; the reason being some of them are my friends. I’ve known them for a long time. A lot of these guys have seen my career grow in small steps. So it’s always been love. It’s never been a love-hate relationship. [Rappers have always said to me], ‘Man, I’m happy for you.’ So with those guys, I have their support. I fly to see my friends and they see me. It’s definitely a good feeling.” (SOHH)

Hart also said he considered rap stars like Diddy, Kanye West and Snoop Dogg his close friends.

“A lot of them are my friends, so the only people I hold close are my kids,” Hart jokingly added when asked which hip-hop artists he shares the closest bond with. “I have some really, really close friends of mine within the industry like Nelly, Trey [Songz], Dame Dash. Those are just to name a few. Kanye West is a good friend. Puff is a good friend. Snoop is a good friend.” (SOHH)
