Kevin Hart was a recent guest on the Joe Rogan Experience where he opened up about the Oscars scandal and how he feels about the state of the culture.

Hart found himself at the center of controversy after his comments regarding the LGBTQ were called back into question just ahead of him hosting the Oscars.
