Tiffany Haddish Reveals the Time Drake’s Dad Tried to Shoot His Shot With Her

Although actress Tiffany Haddish is forbidden to tell the masses who bit Beyoncé in the face at the Carters’ Oscars after party, that does not stop her from spilling more tea about others!

Haddish re-told a bizarre story at Seth and Lauren Rogen’s sixth annual “Hilarity for Charity Variety Show” in Los Angeles that appears on Netflix April 6th, about the time rapper Drake’s father tried to flirt with her, according to Bustle.

“So I met Drake, and Drake was like, ‘I want you to be in my music video,’ and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I always wanted to be in a video,'” the “Girl’s Trip” star recollected. However, things took an interesting turn once the hip-hop star introduced Haddish to his dad.

“I’m talking to Drake’s dad, right! Meeting Drake’s dad was like 1987, he looked like Inspector Gadget, with that big mustache so like he might have a van, offering candy to people he shouldn’t be offering to,” the comedian teased. “He says, ‘Do you have any kids?’ And I said, ‘No, sir, I don’t have any kids.’ He’s like, ‘Plan on having some?’ I said, ‘It’s not really in my life plan… in two, three years maybe. But right now, it’s not in my plan.’ He said, ‘OK, that’s cool. But if you need any help tonight… or anytime in the next two to three years, I’m available for you.’ I was like, ‘Wow… One second, sir.'”

Haddish then reportedly pulled Drake to the side to let the rapper know what happened.

“‘Drake, can I speak to you?! Excuse me, French Montana… Look here, I would much rather be your baby mama than your step mama,'” she joked.

Apparently, Drake’s father is a bit of a ladies’ man. “He’s like, ‘Oh, my dad’s doing it again,'” the rapper responded to Haddish.

“I told the same story at a comedy show a few days after that and these girls come up to me after the show and go, ‘Oh god, you met Drake’s dad? He’s so hot, he’s so fun to party with.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god, did I get the wrong number,'” the comedian exclaimed.

Haddish and Drake definitely laughed it off and she ended the story asking the rapper “Well when you taking me out to dinner? Cause I’m hungry.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
