Kevin Hart obviously felt a little bit sensitive about being called a "whore" by Sony executive Clint Culpepper in one of those Sony emails leaked by hackers this week. 

In the emails to studio heads Amy Pascal and Michael Lynton, Culpepper writes "I'm not saying he's a whore, but he's a whore," in reference to Hart wanting to be paid extra on top of his $3 million salary for Think Like a Man Too in order to plug the movie on social media. 

"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 fucking himself because we have his next 2 immediate films," Culpepper writes. 

A day after the emails were leaked, Hart took to his Instagram to respond/rant about why he deserves to get paid. It reads sort of like a motivational speech:

 

So what is a tweet from Kevin Hart worth? We'll guess he falls somewhere in between the $252-per-tweet Frankie Muniz gets (according to Huffington Post) and the $13,000 that Khloe Kardashian commands.
