Kevin Hart didn’t exactly keep a low profile at his son Hendrix’s high school graduation. Instead, Hart ran onto the stage at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California, right as Hendrix finished his graduation walk and blasted him with a cannon filled with golden ticker tape. Hendrix appeared to laugh off the moment, but reactions on X were far more divided.
In the now-viral video, Hart sprints up to Hendrix just as he steps off the graduation stage and shoots a blast of golden ticker tape at him. That’s really it.
Hart shared the video on Instagram, along with a photo. His caption was all proud-dad energy: “So proud of this Kid…. Love you more than words can ever express!!!!!!! Congrats Doo ….. Watch the video until the end to see how to properly embarrass ur kid on graduation day.”
Naturally, the clip started circulating across other social platforms. And on X, the general vibe was less about family fun and more about Kevin hogging his son’s big moment.

While many social media users found the moment funny, others criticized Hart for drawing attention to himself during his son’s graduation.
The Kevin Hart graduation video landed differently depending on who was watching – and the critics on X were not holding back.
Several commenters argued that Hart drew attention away from his son’s moment.
One person was blunt: “Damn Kevin, not everything is about you. Let the man walk. He did the work,” a user commented. While another put it succinctly: “Making it about Kevin is what Kevin does! Not sure why anyone thinks that he is funny,” one comment read.
Others zeroed in on the double standard of celebrity treatment. “Celebs getting special treatment,” one person wrote. “Any other parent would be ripped for doing this, probably escorted out as well. But a celeb does it, and oh it’s soooo funny.” And some kept it surgical: “It’s like he can’t let his son have the spotlight for 15 mins bro. What a clown,” a user commented, while another summed up the perceived calculus with a short imagined monologue: “Kevin: ‘How can I make his moment about me? I know…’” one comment read.
The clip quickly spread across social media, where users debated whether Hart’s graduation prank was harmless fun or an unnecessary attempt to steal the spotlight. For now, Hendrix’s California graduation walk is fueling plenty of opinions and jokes online.
