*Tiffany Haddish had to set some thangs straight after a fan suggested that if/when she scored a Netflix deal it would be due to Mo’Nique’s current battle with the streaming service.
According to Tiffany, she signed her deal ‘way before’ Mo’Nique began her crusade.
“I already got a deal and I signed it way before she said a thing and its not legend money but its enough to take care of my family for min,” Haddish posted on Twitter.

Mo’Nique hopped in Tiffany’s mentions to congratulate her and to let her know she did nothing wrong.

Mo recently clashed with rabid radio personality Charlamagne Tha God over her Netflix boycott.
“When I heard you say that you wanted us to boycott [Netflix] because of racial and gender bias … I wanted to know why did you feel like you should have gotten whatever Chris Rock got, whatever Dave Chappelle got, whatever Amy Schumer got … We all know Mo’Nique is a legend, but we also know that those deals that Netflix are giving out are based on recent stand-up shows,” he told the comedian during her appearance on “The Breakfast Club” Friday.
“I don’t think Amy Schumer is funny, but she did sell out 50 arenas around the world, including MSG, and HBO wanted her as well, so she created a bidding war on those stats, so I assume that’s the reason her number was at that place,” he continued.
Mo’Nique blamed her Hollywood woes on “being blackballed.”
Meanwhile, earlier this month, it was announced that Tiffany will be voicing one of the lead characters in a new Netflix animated comedy series ‘Tuca and Berti’ — from the creators of ‘Bojack Horseman.’ It will consist of 10 episodes.
The comedy centers around the friendship between two 30-year-old bird-women who live in the same building. Tuca will be played by Tiffany and is a care-free toucan and Bertie is a high-strung, head in the clouds songbird. Bertie hasn’t been cast yet.
In related news, Haddish will be hosting the MTV Movie and TV Awards, airing Monday June 18th on MTV.
