Kevin Hart on Justin Bieber roast: 'I'll hit him below the belt'

Justin Bieber is set to be Comedy Central's next roast victim when the annual comedy event takes place on March 30 and funnyman Kevin Hart will be the one to put him in the hot seat. 

Hart told reporters from Extra at last night's Oscars that he will be hitting the Canadian sensation where it hurts and will poke fun at some of his most awkward moments: 

"Expect me to hit him below the belt a couple times. I have to set the tone so everyone understands that it's a fun night. We're all here for a good reason and let's throw some jabs, but nothing malicious. It'll be great."

He recently joked to Ryan Seacrest that because he's good friends with Bieber he has permission to really go deep with the content: "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.”

“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?!'"
