Tiffany Haddish is facing some criticism after visiting a supermarket in Africa and acting like it was the coolest thing in the world… which she clearly doesn’t think she deserves.
The comedian/actress went on an adventure while visiting Zimbabwe — where she stopped by a local supermarket and filmed herself inside. While filming at the supermarket, Tiff expressed shock and amazement multiple times… commenting on how beautiful and huge it was.
The implication here — or at least how people took it — was that TH couldn’t believe how modern the supermarket was in an African country… and the internet didn’t take it well.
Several critics criticized Tiff for her reaction to seeing a typical grocery store in Africa. Some went as far as calling her a “fucking idiot,” and others wondered what was wrong with Tiffany that she felt comfortable sharing this opinion.
However, Tiffany has since defended herself… when she went to X to explain that she was simply trying to demystify the portrayal of Africa. As she said… Americans are routinely told that people are starving in Africa… we are regularly shown certain images that paint a certain picture.
She adds… “We got here and I had tears in my eyes when I found out the truth. The media is lying. I thought I would share because I know people in the US who believe that Africans have nothing.”
In other words, Tiffany feels like she’s done nothing more than call out the inaccurate portrayal of African life — and she thinks she’s doing something positive here. She’s also made it clear that she’s really enjoying her visit to Zimbabwe… noting that she felt safer there than she did in Los Angeles.

Tiff praised the food for being natural and encouraged people to come and see Africa for themselves.
Tiffany isn’t budging on her stance despite online criticism… so don’t expect an apology any time soon.
