However, apparently the West Coast legend didn't give Kevin Hart the same treatment.

Kevin Hart was the most recent guest on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, and it of course ensued with some hilarity. However, the actor put the jokes slightly aside for a second to talk about rapper, actor, and multi-hyphenate pop culture icon Ice Cube and their relationship. Moreover, Hart expressed a lot of admiration for the West Coast legend, which actually had nothing to do with his accolades and industry experience. Instead, he chose to focus on his good-natured spirit and his on-set professionalism. Overall, it seems like the Ride Along co-stars are quite the dynamic duo, even if Cube apparently didn't return the sentiment.

"Cube might be one of the most genuine, kindest spirits that you can be around,” Kevin Hart said of Ice Cube. “He wants nothing but good for other people. He loves to see the people around him succeed- he’s such a creative mind. That’s all he does. He loves the foundation of creativity and is one of the most professional people I’ve worked with on set." Still, the podcast hosts joked that the N.W.A. pioneer might not be rocking with him in the same way.

Kevin Hart Praises Ice Cube On Impaulsive

"He did not talk about you like that," they told Kevin Hart. "It was the complete opposite." Despite the pushback, the comedian did not let that take away from his testimony or from their close ties. "Yeah, it’s gotta be the interview," he theorized, saying that they must not have been "good" questions if they led Ice Cube down that path. In addition, the podcasters asked Hart whether his evolving friendship with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson somehow affected his relationship with the "Check Yo Self" rapper.

"This is ridiculous," Hart laughed off. "What are you talking about? Cube is one of my best friends in the business- everybody knows that. Everybody knows that about me and Cube." Meanwhile, another rap star in the Night School actor's corner is Method Man, who he recently interviewed. They actually spoke at length on mental health, particularly Mef's, in what came out to be an enlightening conversation.
