Friends of Na'im Lynn shouldn't expect any holiday cheer from the comedian ... he doesn't believe in gifting pals with presents or cards -- except for one A-list exception.

00:00Do you buy your homies, your bros, Christmas presents?
00:06Never.
00:07Never?
00:08Why?
00:09I mean, what's the logic behind that?
00:10Do you do it?
00:11I mean, we're trying to figure it out, like if it's appropriate.
00:13You know what I'm saying?
00:14Nah.
00:15You're not supposed to buy your homies gifts for anything.
00:19Birthdays, Christmas, none of that?
00:21No.
00:22Interesting, interesting.
00:23If you do buy a gift, you definitely can't give a card.
00:30You can't give a card to your, first of all, there's no cards made for best friends.
00:36You don't go in the store, yeah.
00:37You've never seen that in the card section.
00:38You see mother, father, child, grandmother, secretary, love, it's never for homies.
00:46Should that be a new market, though?
00:47I mean, look.
00:48It's inappropriate.
00:49It's inappropriate?
00:50Yeah.
00:51Wow.
00:52It's crossing a line.
00:53Also, like, you go out with your friends, right?
00:56You buy them a beer, you know?
00:58You bet them.
00:59You bet them on some game or something, you know?
01:01That's how you gift your friends.
01:03You hang out with them, you pick up the tab, you know?
01:06Ah, there you go, there you go.
01:07On a holiday like Christmas where you exchange gifts, it's a good chance that you think,
01:12oh, I'm going to give my boy a gift this year and he didn't get you anything.
01:15Then that's going to make the friendship even more awkward.
01:17The only time you can get a friend a gift, your homie a gift, your man, it's for no reason.
01:22It's like, yo, I know you was looking for this.
01:24I heard you say something about this, so I grabbed it for you.
01:28And pay me back or not.
01:30I'm going to need you to pay me back.
01:32Yeah, or not.
01:33You don't got to.
01:34Like, hey man, here's something.
01:35You can get your friends a gift, but it can't be like, hey man, Merry Christmas.
01:38I got something for his kids.
01:41Right, right, right.
01:42Go buy it for the kids.
01:43One of your best friends is superstar Kevin Hart, right?
01:47Right.
01:48Never buy the Zuta gift.
01:49I gotta know.
01:50I've gotten him a gift before.
01:52Oh, nah, see, nah, nah.
01:53It's different.
01:54It was an end of tour gift because he, you know, he pays us very handsomely.
01:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:59And he's given us old school cards before.
02:01He's done things for us, so we have to show you appreciation.
02:04But it's never like Christmas.
02:07It was like an end of tour gift.
02:09You guys are working.
02:10It's a working relationship.
02:11It's a working thing, yeah.
02:12Okay, fair enough, fair enough.
02:14My other friends, no.
02:15I don't buy them gifts.
