Comedian Kevin Hart was recently confirmed to be the one who will roast Justin Bieber at the upcoming Comedy Central event and he has now revealed that he won't be taking it easy on the Canadian sensation.

Speaking to On Air with Seacrest earlier today (February 17), the funnyman explained that he will tear him to pieces in the name of humour:

"I’m going to smash Bieber. It’s going to be a tough day for Biebs. The good news is that he knows I love him. The good news is that he knows I’m a real friend, so it’s no holds-barred. I get to let loose. It’s going to be dope.”

Hart went onto add that Bieber is pretty anxious about the Roast, which is due to air on Monday, March 30 at 10pm on Comedy Central, and confessed that he will poke fun at many aspects of the singer's life:

“He’s 100 percent nervous. It’s not even a half-question. He’s like, ‘Hey so Kev, you’re going to take it easy, right?’ And I said, ‘Absolutely not.' [...] That’s the only time I’ve ever been mad at Justin. I remember calling him, ‘Did you buy a monkey?! What’d you get a monkey for?!'"
