The conversation occurred on the comedian’s new Peacock talk show, “Hart to Heart,” as Cheadle discussed generational wealth and noted he was 56 years old.

“Damn!” Hart blurted out. The reaction didn’t appear to go over well as Cheadle looked annoyed and went silent momentarily.

Hart, 42, quickly offered up an apology and attempted to explain his unfiltered response.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, because it was a thought,” Hart said. “It was a thought and I blurted it out. I didn’t mean it that way. Just understand I didn’t mean it the way it came out.”

“It’s fine. We’ll take a poll on how you meant it with people here later after the show’s over,” Cheadle said while looking upset.

The “Night School” star continued to try and smooth things over by saying, “Buddy, that that was from a place of love.” After Hart repeated his reaction in a softer tone, Cheadle noted they were “two different damns.”

Hart later shared a clip of the interaction and made it clear the exchange was “real and authentic.”

“The beauty of Hart to Heart is that it is UNSCRIPTED ….these conversations are real and authentic….there is NO PREP!!!!” he wrote in the caption.  “My guest come on the show and have no idea on what I want to talk about. We just go with the flow.”

After the interaction went viral on social media, Cheadle appeared to comment on the controversy by sharing a photo of Kendrick Lamar’s 2017 album “DAMN.”
