Kevin Hart tried to gouge Sony Pictures out of extra money -- on top of the millions he already received -- for promoting his movie on social media, and a Sony exec groused, "I'm not saying he's a ? , but he's a ? " ... this according to the latest in the Sony Leak.
Clint Culpepper, a studio exec, sent several emails to studio heads, complaining that Kevin made $3 million and then $4 million for his last 2 Sony flicks, yet when he was asked to tweet out a plug for "Think Like a Man Too," his agent balked because he felt Kevin's expertise in social media was worth additional money.
Culpepper suggests they put the screws to Kevin, writing, "I'm tempted to suggest we call his bluff. If he doesn't do his normal routine, his film will not open as well and his brand will appear diminished and he will -- in fact -- be f***ing himself because we have his next 2 immediate films."
The leakers are in high gear, because the movie they want killed -- "The Interview" -- is slated for a premiere tomorrow night.

Kev lil ass need to strike while the iron is hot..
Milk Hollywood for all he can get,
cause when them crackers is done with him,
he'll be dumb rich and he can finance his own ? ..
That's when they'll come crawling back,
cause they always want a piece..
Kev got big by financing his own comedy stand up shows,
and once the big wigs seen how much paper he was pulling in,
they started offering him all these movie deals.. -
I would think that Kevin had a large majority of his followers way before Think like a man 2, if you asking him to promote the sequel to a fan base that he had already established off other endeavors , you need to pay that man.

They love capitalism until a black man puts it to use...

Think he learned from Kat Williams that it can be over as soon as it started, get it while you can.

Yea. This executive is basically saying they would rather lose money on his next two movies with them, rather than pay the man what he is worth and they all profit. SMH
Kevin Hart has a point. He's not the only person in "TLAM2". Its an ensemble. Did they ask Terrance J or La La or that white dude, or Gabrielle Union or Michael Ealy or Taraji P. Henson to tweet about the movie too? Doesn't sound like it, and its because nobody follows them. Not compared to Kevin Hart. All of them combined don't have as many followers. So they wanted him to advertise their movie for them, but not pay him for it? I don't blame him.

I don't find Kevin Hart that funny but I respect his hustle.
? Sony for messing up my favorite comic character in Spider-Man. -
these white collar mufuckas be trying to put a cap on a ? profits. they be clocking your doe then when you get to a certain number, they either try to slave you, or stop you from earning any thing more.
they treat money as power; the more money you have, the more power you gain; thus you become a threat to their establishment, a competitor; then they try to destroy you.
and that ? about holding the rights to his next two films is a classic industry ? move to hold artists up from making future earnings. they hold his contract and the only way to get out of it is to abide by their word and fulfill the contract on their terms or buy himself out of the contract, at which they hold the cards on the price of the buyout. ? 's disgusting.... -
Sony can suck a ? for their ? ups and ignorance
