“Whoa!! That’s insanely fast, man!! Congrats!!”

“It seems like yesterday that Kev was roasting his own infant son on stage, lil bruh. You were famous before speaking. Congrats!”

“Congratulations.!!! Time flies. I recall when he was tiny.”

“@kevinhart4real, is this the one you used to joke about back then?!?! Dang, it can’t have been that long ago! #gettingold #congratulations.”
