"Sorry but if we’re being real the list is long for black actors/comedians funnier than Tiffany Haddish."

@price0fwoke

"I know y’all don’t like Tiffany anymore but y’all don’t have to act like she was bad in Girls Trip. She was the highlight of the movie."

@STHABZ_MKHIZE

"My problem is that you think Tiffany is an actress."

@maintishe replied:

"I wouldn’t have wanted Issa saying all that unnecessary wild sh*t lmao. She’s not ratchet funny, she’s awkward funny. They would’ve had to rework the script for her. But I definitely would’ve loved her in it, just in a role more tailored for her."

@Thuli_kaNtuli said:

"Shame, man. Apologize. Celebrities are human, too."
