Tiffany Haddish is not about to “sacrifice” her life for a stranger. During his career, Girls trip star, 44, has received many strange requests from fans, but she can’t forget the “weirdest and most cheesy” thing a fan once asked for.
In the midst of her divorce from ex-husband William Stewart in 2013, Haddish was asked to pay a six-figure sum for a stranger’s wedding.
“Their wedding was 10 times more expensive than mine,” said the comedian and actress, noting that she previously paid $10,000 for her wedding to Stewart in 2008.
“Their wedding cost $100,000. I said, ‘If you can’t afford to get married, you shouldn’t be getting married.’ ”

Haddish — who spoke to PEOPLE while attending the second night of the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival on Saturday, Sept. 21 — added that she didn’t even know who the person was or why they thought she might shell out the money. “I just finished my divorce and you’re going to ask me this?” she joked.

At the iHeartRadio event in Las Vegas over the weekend, Haddish also talked about her recently released single, “Woman Up,” which was written by Diane Warren. “What I love most about the song is that it’s literally an internal conflict to have with yourself on a daily basis,” she told PEOPLE.

“If I could, I’d stay in bed all day every day, but I can’t do that. It’s not a healthy lifestyle. Nobody really wants to do that,” Haddish continued.
She added: “I want to create and I want to bring joy to others and I feel this is a good way. This song is a good way to say, ‘Hey, the days are hard, but get up and get out there. The woman upstairs.’ They always say ‘man up’ but they never say ‘woman up’. ”
