Tiffany Haddish Says She Offered Her African Driver Peroxide And Baking Soda For Overwhelming Body Odor (Video)

Tiffany Haddishknown for his controversially blunt humor, recently shared an unusual tale from a trip to Africa.

According to Haddish, she encountered a driver whose body odor was overwhelming, to the point that she described it as “burning her nose.” In response, she claims she asked the man what he had done to make him smell that way and decided to offer a solution: peroxide and baking soda, a mixture often used for cleaning purposes.

“Can I give you a bath?” she asked the man, “I’ll scrub you, baking soda and peroxide in the water.”

While this is very relevant to Haddish, her actions have sparked some mixed reactions. Some see it as typical of her comedic and blunt style, while others find the gesture culturally insensitive, suggesting a need for greater understanding of local customs and sensibilities.

@TiffanyHaddish is probably the most disgusting and ignorant celebrity you will ever see. Next time the country you are in. Africa is not a country. Fool! https://t.co/vVFSWFDixY

Nevertheless, Haddish claims she told the driver not to return to work the following day unless he smelled better. Fortunately, she claims he improved his smell when he returned, resulting in her tipping him $50.

It’s not unusual for Haddish to tackle uncomfortable situations with humor and honesty, and she’s known for not holding back when talking about her experiences. However, this story has added to conversations about respecting cultural differences when she travels abroad, even as it shows her limitless personality.
