LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kevin Hart is one proud swimmer! The comedian has shared a new video on his Instagram showing off his skills as he dives in his backyard pool. The artist even called out Michael Phelps for a race in his video post, “This message is for you @m_phelps00 …..I’m on yo ass and I’m coming for all of those gold medals.” However, his challenge does come with one condition, “Give me a two lap head start and I will kick yo a** man!!!!! ????? #HustleHart”
The star recalled the 2021 incident where Phelps called out Kevin for wearing fins as he analyzed Kevin's butterfly during his appearance on Peacock’s Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg. “You thought I had fins on the last time I was doing butterfly and I did, but you don’t think I’m capable of real butterfly,” Hart said in his reel. Adding, “I wanna show you at the age of 44 I still f*****g got it Phelps! And if you give me a lap and a half head start I’ll whoop your a**. Here’s proof. Proof! Butterfly! Hard body. Let's go!”

There was instant reaction from his celeb friends, where rapper Nelly wrote, “Gettem champ….. @kevinhart4real @m_phelps00 we want a relay race Phelps and his crew against the RHOH…..!! ??♂️.” Michael B Jordan, commented, “Impressed..really..thought that was gonna go differently ? ????????.” Meanwhile, his costar Jack Black wrote, “Laugh and a half.”
'Do you have fins on?'
Phelps during the show asked Kevin, “Do you have fins on?” Hart responded to his question with, “What are you talking about? I’m in the ocean man, don’t worry about what I’m doing, just look at the stroke. It’s not about what was on my feet.” “Fins? He had on fins, Mike?” laughed co-presenter Dogg, 51. “All along?” “He definitely did,” Phelps replied. “For sure. Look at that, he definitely has fins on. Technically it doesn’t count because you can’t use fins in the race,” as per People.
