Closure of Kevin Hart’s Hart House Sparks Speculation Linked to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Arrest

Hart House, the fast-food chain owned by comedian and actor Kevin Hart, announced the closure of all its locations earlier this week. The chain, which operated for approximately two years, shared a “Hartfelt goodbye” with its team, guests, and community. Despite the farewell message, neither Kevin Hart nor the Hart House management disclosed the reasons behind the closure.

The unexpected shutdown has prompted speculation on social media, with users suggesting a connection to the recent arrest of rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs. Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has seen an influx of posts and videos speculating on Hart’s involvement in Combs’ legal troubles, although the authenticity of these videos remains unverified.

One user tweeted, “Kevin Hart closed all his restaurants after finding out about Diddy’s arrest. Do you think he’s involved?” Another claimed, “Kevin Hart is not what everybody thinks he is. Kevin Hart is at a Diddy Party.” A third user noted, “All four locations of Kevin Hart’s restaurants have been shut down by his choice. A lot of celebrities are stepping down from positions. This is very strange, welcome to the Diddy scandal.”

As of now, Kevin Hart has not commented on these claims. The official statement from Hart House on Instagram read, “To our team, guests, and community, who helped make the change we all craved. A Hartfelt goodbye for now as we start a new chapter.”

Hart House managed four locations in Los Angeles County, including Westchester, Monrovia, University Park, and Hollywood. Hart House CEO Andy Hooper expressed gratitude toward the community and staff, saying, “The response to the product has been incredible, and we thank our committed team, our customers, and our community partners for helping make the change we all craved, and for their unwavering support of Hart House,” as told to Eater LA.
