Funnyman Kevin Hart celebrated his 33rd birthday during the ESSENCE Music Festival this weekend. The birthday boy, who’s also celebrating his first time as a headliner at EMF, enjoyed a star-studded party hosted by ESSENCE in New Orleans and attended by the likes of Trey Songz, LisaRaye McCoy, Michael Ealy, Tisha Martin-Campbell and more.

ESSENCE president Michelle Ebanks helped Hart cut his four-tier black and white birthday cake while Trey Songz kept the party, and partygoers, entertained by jumping on the mic to wish Hart a happy birthday and singing a few bars from his hit, “Say Aah.”

Oscar winner Denzel Washington kept a low-profile and sat next to friends for most of the soirée held at The Saints Hotel.
