    The boys are fighting.

    Kevin Hart revealed that he hasn’t spoken to Michael Jordan in years because of a feud between the stars.

    The comedian, 45, dissed the retired NBA all-star, 61, at his show in Atlantic City last month on his Acting My Age tour and explained how their beef started.

    “Michael’s had an attitude with me for years because I hosted a celebrity event for him and he came in late. I saw him coming in late [and] I hit him with [a joke],” Hart told the audience, according to an eyewitness via Daily Mail.

    “It was quick. It was all in fun. I don’t know where it came from,” Hart added. “I just hit him with a quick one.”

    Hart said that Jordan “had an attitude” with him after the celebrity event and “hasn’t talked to me since.”

    The “Jumanji” actor also reportedly said that he and Jordan “don’t get along” and that the former basketball player “is not a Kevin Hart fan.”

    However, Hart said that he’s totally unbothered by the drama.

    “I don’t give a s–t. I could care less. I can f–king care less,” he told the crowd.

    Hart went on, “I’m at a point in my life where it’s very hard to bother me. I’m 45 years old and it’s not about the progression of life. You get to the point where little things don’t matter. I’m not the same person I once was.”

    The Post has reached out to Jordan’s rep for comment.

    Hart first addressed his beef with Jordan in June 2016 during an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

    “Mike still be mad at me, true story,” Hart said, before explaining how he “pissed Mike off” when he hosted the charity event in Las Vegas.

    “As I’m saying stuff, I lock eyes with Mike, he’s in the front row, and I start teasing him,” Hart recalled. “I was like, ‘Man, what age do you get to where it’s OK to wear your pants that high and nobody addresses it?’ I said, ‘You’re telling me I’m the only one that thinks Mike’s pants are past the legal limit for waist?’ “

    Hart said that while he was merely making “fun jokes,” Jordan wasn’t happy about the comments.

    “He’s giving me a look like, ‘You gonna keep on going? You ain’t gonna stop?’ I don’t care. I was laughing,” Hart said.

    The comedian also confessed that he “may or may not have been drunk” when he was hosting the event.

    He continued, “It gets over and I see him. I’m like, ‘What up Mike!’ And he shook my hand and squeezed it real hard and he’s like, ‘You have a good day.’ I haven’t seen him since.”

    “He’s still my favorite player though,” Hart added about Jordan. “If I see him again I’m gonna ask him about it. ‘You better lose the ‘tude, Mike.’ “
