Comedian Kevin Hart was criticized on Wednesday for apparently improperly reacting to singer and rapper Lil Nas X discussing why he came out as gay when he did.

Prominent blue checkmarks on Twitter accused Hart of homophobia and gaslighting for suggesting it was not a big deal for the entertainer to come out. The criticism seemed to be fueled by old tweets from Hart deemed “homophobic” by some in the media last year. The jokes effectively forced the comedian into backing out of hosting the Academy Awards.
