Tiffany Haddishisn’t about to “altar” her life for a stranger.Throughout her career, theGirls Tripstar, 44, has received many odd requests from fans, but she can’t forget the “oddest and most disrespectful” thing a fan once sought.

Amid her 2013 divorce from ex-husband William Stewart, Haddish was asked to pay a six-figure tab for a stranger’s wedding.

“Their wedding was going to be 10 times the price of mine,” the comedian and actress said, noting she previously paid $10,000 for her nuptials to Stewart in 2008.

“Their wedding was like a $100,000. I said, ‘If y’all can’t afford the wedding, you shouldn’t get married already.’ "

Haddish — who spoke with PEOPLE while attending the second night of the2024 iHeartRadio Music Festivalon Saturday, Sept. 21 — added that she didn’t even know who the person was or why they thought she might be willing to fork over cash.“I just finished my divorce, and you going to ask me this?” she joked.

Haddish also pointed out that she had just finished filming a movie at the time, for which she made $80,000.“The government took a portion of that, and then I got to pay the agents, the representatives. I barely got enough to make my damn mortgage,” she said.

“If I could, I would stay in bed all day every day, but I can’t do that. That’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 like this is a good way. This song is a good way to say, ‘Hey, it’s hard days, yes, but get up and get out there. Woman up.’ They always say ‘man up,’ but they never say ‘woman up.’ "
