*Tiffany Haddish is clearly obsessed with Shakira because she embarrassed herself at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards while trying to get the singer’s attention.
A viral video on Twitter and Instagram shows Haddish screaming Shakira’s name while chasing her down at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Haddish is relentless in her pursuit of the artist and fails to immediately catch the pop star’s attention.
“Shakira! Shakira!” Haddish repeatedly shouts as Shakira makes her way through a crowd. When the “Girls Trip” star catches up with the musician, she photobombs her several times and Shakira continues to ignore her. Haddish then crashed Shakira’s red carpet moment.
As Complex reports, several Twitter users had plenty to say about the cringe-worthy encounter, with one person writing, “I got 2nd hand embarrassment from watching this lol.”
“Embarrassing bruh,” another commented, “She is almost literally chasing her down.”

Haddish attended the VMAs to present the Best Afrobeats category. The award went to Rema and Selena Gomez for their song “Calm Down.”
Shakira received the Video Vanguard award, which was presented by her “Hips Don’t Lie” collaborator Wyclef Jean.
“Thank you, MTV. Thank you for being such a big part of my career since I was only 18 years old,” Shakira said in her speech, Complex reports. “I want to thank my parents and my kids, Milan and Sasha, who are here. Thank you so much for cheering me up and making me feel that ‘Mama can do it all’… Especially I want to share this award with my fans, who always, always support me through thick and thin. Thank you so much for being my army and helping me fight all my battles. Este es para mi gente.”
