Hart Trains As Sam Kiki Revives Their High-Stakes Rivalry
This may be a new wager, but it isn’t Kiki’s first major golf challenge.
He previously teamed up with comedian Bob Menery in a filmed match against Kyle Forgeard and Salim Sirur of the Nelk Boys.
That game, captured in a YouTube vlog filled with missed putts, on-course banter, and raw reactions, ended in a painful $200,000 loss for Kiki.
Kevin Hart, on the other hand, doesn’t have much golf experience. Still, he’s treating this rivalry with surprising seriousness.
He reportedly trains multiple times a week and shares clips of his progress online.
This isn’t his only big golf bet, as he already arranged a similar challenge with LeBron James scheduled for September 2026

Kevin Hart Calls Out Harmful Thinking Behind Viral Question
News of Hart and Sam Kiki’s multimillion-dollar battler comes amid the comedian’s response to the controversial “gay son or th*t daughter” debate, which earned him widespread praise for its clarity and maturity.
During an interview with Ziwe, the comedian immediately challenged the premise when asked to pick a “favorite letter” in “LGBTQIA,” joking, “The fact that you would want me to answer that says a lot about you.”
When Ziwe responded by asking if she was the problem, Hart replied, “Well, I’m not going to say you’re the solution. Game on.”
When Ziwe shifted to the viral question, Hart refused to entertain it. Instead, he said, “I would rather have two healthy kids. Like, it doesn’t matter to me.”

He added that forcing children into such categories “says a lot about who you are,” placing the issue on the mindset behind the question rather than the answer itself.
“I’m just telling you I think the real problem is in the thinker, not the answerer,” he said. “Maybe you should just ponder on that for a second.”
Fans widely applauded his stance, calling it the “perfect answer.” Even skeptics praised him for shutting down the debate respectfully.
