Justin Bieber's good friend Kevin Hart will be the person poking fun at him during the upcoming Comedy Central Roast. 

The event, which is set to tape on March 14 and will air on Monday, March 30 at 10pm on Comedy Central, will be hosted by the funnyman and he issued a statement on the exciting news: "I don't normally do roasts, but I had to step out for my guy Biebs… It's his big 21. It's about to be operation roast everyone's ass."

Kent Alterman, president of content development and original programming for Comedy Central, also issued a statement, which reads: "They say only a good friend would verbally eviscerate another good friend for all his vulnerabilities. Kevin Hart is a very good friend."

Earlier this afternoon (February 9), Hart shared a teasing tweet with Bieber and joked that he will do his best to rip him a new one at the event: Oh don't you worry @justinbieber it will be brought... #BieberRoast... Good luck my friend."
