On Monday, Torrei announced on Instagram that she would be joining Williams' "Dark Matter Tour" for select dates in January and February. The news came less than a week after Williams mocked and criticized Kevin on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast.

During the nearly three-hour episode, Williams also criticized several of his peers, including Steve Harvey, Tiffany Haddish, Michael Blackson, Rickey Smiley, and Cedric the Entertainer. Torrei and Kevin divorced in 2011 after getting married in 2003, Today reported.

"More dates coming soon," Torrei teased in the caption.

Torrei appeared to lean into the recent controversy by re-sharing a clip from the interview. In the clip, Williams said he only toured with "comedians who are funnier than me."

"Anyone who told you differently was a fat Faizon liar," Williams said in the clip, referring to comedian Faizon Love.

In the comment section, Haddish — who also caught heat from Williams — applauded Torrei.

"Congratulations!!!!" Haddish wrote.

Representatives for Torrei Hart declined to comment.

Williams and Kevin have been in a mostly one-sided feud since 2014, although Williams took it to the next level when he suggested Kevin was an industry plant during the "Club Shay Shay" podcast interview.

While the "Ride Along" star has ignored Williams' insults in the past, Kevin responded to the podcast interview twice.

Kevin promoted his upcoming movie "Lift" on Thursday and added a jab at Williams.
