Tiffany Haddish is not playing about her money. The Night School star asks for a manly fee when her rep negotiates her movie contracts.
Haddish’s career has taken off since her breakthrough role as Dina in 2017’s Girls Trip and she has most recently appeared in The Oath.
The actress says she’s not afraid to talk about money and will always command a “guy’s fee” that she believes she deserves.
The comedic actress argued that women in the entertainment industry don’t typically get paid the same as male stars because they don’t “talk about it”.
“You know what they say? ‘A close mouth don’t get fed.’ And a lot of times we don’t open our mouths because we don’t even really know what we’re supposed to get,” she said in an interview with Variety magazine.
“So, that’s why I do the research. I ask around. I’ve made friends with line producers that cut those checks, production managers, so I can be like, ‘So, on average, how much does a girl get paid for? How much does a guy get paid?’ O.K., I’m gonna ask for the guy fee on this one.”
Becoming financially secure is an important milestone for the star, who once lived in her car while she was working on getting her big break.
“I care about being able to take care of my grandma, take care of my mama, my niece, my sister, and brother, and if I ever have children take care of them, create some generational wealth,” the 38-year-old insisted. “And I think the only way to do that is to have some money so you can buy some land and things like that, and then buy a studio. Yeah, I need cheques! I don’t think anybody’s obligated to give me anything. I only think I deserve what I work for and that’s that.”
Haddish poses for a photo with actor/model Tyson Beckford in a photo dated September 30.

Yo loud ass about to get black balled just like they did Monique, don’t get it twisted you don’t have a funny bone in your body you are how white America views black women loud and ghetto as fukk
Glad you got the gift of negotiation Tiff.
Unlike Sidney.
Bloop
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY……
“Ok, Mo’Nique.” LMAOOOOOOOOOO
15 minutes almost up
I think homegirl Jess getting started
Can she start being funny too? I mean if she wants to get paid…??
i want her to win… i want all of us to win…. !!!
I paid to see night school and watched about an hour and half….then snuck in to see a star is born. Night school was cool but star is born…Excellent!!!
If any of you guys are being impacted by this potential catastrophic hurricane 4 ,please stay safe
U forget when white people like U. U will ALWAYS win & be successful.
Oh no baby, what is you doing?”
-Tyson Beckford
I haven’t seen ither of her movies,but I will go and see the one with her and Whoopi Goldberg
It looks excellent from the trailers. How was Dave Chappelles Performance?
I wanna see a Starrah is born
She always looks drunk; not a good look..
Tyson looks goodt
THIS!
Dave was great his delivery and timing is always on point. He had an Asian wife and biracial children in the movie I wondered if it was his real family
Go…get ready to cry though its a tearjerker
I don’t think she is that funny. However, I am not knocking this sister’s hustle either.While she’s hot, she may as well make them pay like they weigh. Because when they done with you, they will chew you up and spit you out and not look back. In this life, nobody is loyal to anybody.
She gotta get while she can!!!
true. she had a choice to make and she made it.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!
I don’t know what movie you all are speaking of but……YES, Dave IS married to an Asian woman.
She asks for a “manly” fee? The jokes that could be made with that little tidbit given her features.
It’s longer than an hour and a half? No way. They both make me nervous.
Love it! I remember negotiating my current job, they went quiet for three days and I was low key nervous but I knew my worth. It’s been almost three years now and getting that 40% jump in salary has opened so many doors for me. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you’re worth.
It was just about over. I chuckled a few times it was silliness
A 40% jump?!? Congratulations!!!
On the strength of Whoopi I want to go see that movie.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!
I’m aware that’s why I wondered. He played a retired musician in A star is born….
40%?? Bless you, honey! That’s a giant leap for womankind.
I ain’t mad at her if she can get it. Get it while you can, Tiff – I can see your career ending after about 3, or 4 more films.
Good for her! She better get all the coins she can while she can. The internet sez she’s worth 2 million — not a bad start…
I’ll take a modeling gig right about now. My haters don’t want to see me eating.

Right now she’s just focusing on being loud.
Damn right, she better Carpe Diem.
“Pose, BISH! Pose, BISH! C’mon!”
Tiff is fierce!
Show business is an iffy business. Hot today, cold tomorrow.
I wish when I was younger I knew about negotiating salaries. It wasn’t until I got much much older that info about negotiating salaries came out.
she better start making good movies.
Yesssssssssss, say it again and CONGRATS!
I am going through this right now. I’m taking this as confirmation to stand firm. THANK YOU!
Stand firm! All will be well
Coming from nothing….2 million ain bad
Because of the way her face looks, I agree with her.
Lmaooooooo
I know that’s right!!
Lol
She is beyond ghetto
LMAO!!!
Over! i didn’t even get under……………
I don’t think she’s that funny either, but I do think she’s got a chance as an actress. Not necessarily a comedic actress though, I think with the right serious/slightly funny role she could really be something. But she’s gotta get away from that ratchet azz persona they want to stick her in. It’s only gonna mess with her checks in the long run
Yes hurry up and get what money you can before the rest of the folks catch up to see that you’re not funny at all. But I do respect your hustle.
I hope Tiffany finds her own man soon. She always looks so horny and sexually frustrated.
I see you Django….Lookin like a snack with the flamingo tights on…
ALL women should be negotiating their pay rate in this day and age. When you get that offer letter send it back with a counter offer and if you get any pushback (I never have) then be prepared to sell yourself by pointing out what unique skills you bring to the table…. Blk women are the LEAST likely to negotiate their pay… Change the statistics ladies…tell a friend.
we’re gonna need to put you through morning wood…. hopefully we see you on the other side.
It was sooooooo good!!! It on premiere night and wasn’t disappointed…there were not alot of “US” in the theater but it was worth the watch…Gaga and Bradley were believable as a couple…it was a tearjerker tho…
Aww snap we see you! You’ve beefed up since last year…get it!!
Right now just check my profile.

I’m eatin’.
She said she doesn’t have time to date…one gig to the next so she has a weighted blanket and a toy….. She’s paper chasing right now
LOLOLOLOL…I wanna recommend so many men for Morning Wood who swear they are god’s gift but the way my karma setup I may neva find a husband…
So true…
They had great chemistry!
He’s aging well. Nice phot of him. I like the beard.
We love ghetto and keeping it real?
????
????
Omg
Said Hollywood still find ways to f*ck women. It may be Mentally but its still not right. In China a Citizen movie star only allowed to make so much and if the government find out they was paid under the table the go to jail. Like one actress i just read about. Harsh but at least they get paid the same.
Tyson really gonna be 48? ? Tf this nigga drinking?
Yes, she better learn from Amy Schumer.
She must talking about Will Packer and Tyler Perry because I would love to be a fly on the wall when she ask the yt man for manly pay. They will tell her that they don’t pay buffoons manly pay. IMO
Kevin Hart is STILL playing that SAME character! Hope it works out for her…I mean I won’t be watching either of them,but good for them!
?
I don’t blame her unfunny self
Manly rate..lol
?buffoons
LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuup…
Yep, he really does have an Asian wife and a biracial son. I think David Alan Grier does too
????
Unfunny she is.
She looks a whole 50 years old.
You do
Nope.
Exactly.
Nigga, it sounds like you’re the one that’s horny! That woman don’t have time for that sh*t.
Stfu. Name one black comedian (besides Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle) that ISN’T ghetto!
Agreed but, all “ratchet ass” persona talk is overrated. She that damn ghetto! Quit overexaggerating.
Unlike AND Monique!
Damn, nigga…your a$$ is hating like a mofo! Can’t stand to see a black woman winning, huh? SMFH
Wow, look all you hating ass mfs?! Negroes can’t stand to see a successful black woman! Since all you mfs hating so hard, I like her even more. I can see why the niggas are hatin’. That’s all y’all do (especially if the woman’s dark-skinned) so, no surprise there. But, what’s you chicks’ excuse??? My guess is if she were the female Dave Chappelle (the ONLY comic that I think is funny), the hating would be worse!!! You mfs are suffering from CIABS (Crabs In A Barrel Syndrome). See medical attention quick!
HELLO!!
She better get all she can and I like her but she’s not funny.
Those niggas too…no exception
Ah I thought “manly rate” was referring to something totally different.
Smart business woman she is
Ignorant
*SIGH* For what? So she can shuck and jive harder and faster?
But, what’s you chicks’ excuse??? ???
The most profound question on this s h i t y blog ever! Then followed by
“You mfs are suffering from CIABS (Crabs In A Barrel Syndrome). See medical attention quick!
Something’s very wrong with most black people towards other black people that’s trying to be successful….Sad?
