Kevin Hart has clapped back at Sony after executives of the infamous studio allegedly called him a "money whore" in emails that leaked earlier this week.

Hart took to his Instagram to respond to the leak and stressed the importance of "knowing your worth."

He wrote a message that reads, "I worked very had to get where I am today. I look at myself as a brand and because of that I will never allow myself to be taken advantage of.

I OWN MY BRAND....I MAKE SMART DECISIONS FOR MY BRAND....I PROTECT MY BRAND.....which is why I'm able to brush ignorance off of my shoulder andc ontinue to move forward.

Hart's comment comes just after executives had a back-and-forth email conversation in which they slammed Hart for demanding more money on top of what he was already earning in order to promote Think Like A Man Too on social media.

Clint Culpeper wrote in the email, "I'm tempted to suggest we call his bluff. If he doesn't do his normal routine, his film will not open as well and his brand will appear diminished and he will - in fact - be f***ing himself because we have his next 2 immediate films."

Another wrote, "I'm not saying he's a wh*re, but he's a wh*re"

Interestingly enough, the film they were talking about cutting The Interview hit theaters Friday.
