Despite Tiffany Haddish’s reputation for controversy, she has recently made headlines for her arrest for DUI and her shocked expression in a viral video of an African supermarket.
In what appears to be an expensive joke, the “Girls Trip” actress,” who just shared a narrative about her experience in Africa, is once again stepping over the line.
In a live interview on the “Say What You Mean” podcast Tiffany indicated she encountered a driver whose body odor was overwhelming, to the point that she described it as “burning her nose.”
She stated, “So I’m in Africa, and I’m probably wrong for this. I don’t care.”
Tiffany Haddish began her narrative about her “extremely humid” driver.

“Extremely…like seven, eight days humid. No soap, no water, just… strong. It was burning my nose,” she said.
“I called out the driver’s name, and I was like, ‘What have you been doing all week?
Cause I can smell it on you,’” to which the driver swore he had not been doing drugs, misunderstanding her meaning, the “Night School” star said.
“Whatever you’ve been doing all week, I can tell… you ain’t hit the water, the water ain’t hit you. Maybe the water came out of your body. Maybe you took it in through your mouth.”
Haddish recounted on the talk show, adding that she offered to take the man home with her and scrub him down in baking soda and peroxide.
“I said I’ll give you a peroxide and baking soda bath.”
“He laughed. I was serious. I didn’t laugh, not one time. Everybody in the car was laughing. I told him, Don’t come back to work tomorrow where I can smell you. If I can smell you and it doesn’t smell like some cologne that you bought over the counter, and just the cologne, it’s going to be a problem. Make sure I can’t smell you tomorrow,” she added.
According to Haddish, the driver eventually “got it together” the next day; therefore, she tipped him $50 to “encourage good behavior.”
She went on to say she bought him various colognes that she likes to mask any hint of muskiness for the rest of her trip to which the host Rodriquez responded; “You sound like an auntie,”
Haddish claimed she still keeps in touch with the driver on WhatsApp.
“You know I might have me a husband by the time I get back. Sometimes you gotta clean that man up,” she joked. “
Even though the comedian is known for her candid comedy, viewers thought Haddish went too far this time, and some found her comments about an African man’s smell flat-out rude.
