American actress and comedian, Tiffany Haddish, has opened up about her relationship with rapper, Common.
Haddish, 41, sat down with People Magazine for an interview and detailed the things that sets the rapper apart from her past partners.
The pair first connected when they worked together on the 2019 film, The Kitchen. Haddish revealed that she and Common were just friends until they teamed up with Bumble and enjoyed a virtual date.
According to her, he has never met someone like the Grammy-winning rapper.
“What I love about him is I can be silly. We laugh together, and we can have really deep conversations,” she said. “And we do argue. But it’s not like mean words being tossed at each other, or trying to tear each other’s character down. It’s more like grown-ups. And I don’t think I’ve ever been in a relationship where, if I have an argument with somebody, they are not calling me out on my name or trying to belittle me.”
“This is my first time being in a relationship with somebody who’s not trying to make me turn my light out,” Haddish added. “They’re trying to get me to make my light shine even bigger and motivate me. That is very different for me: supportive, encouraging. It’s refreshing.”
She went on to disclose that Common, 48, has never set any ground rules forbidding their personal life from popping up in her stand-up comedy material.
“We never set rules like that or anything. He’s always like, ‘You’re an artist, you’ve got create. If I’m in your world then I understand — just make sure I know about it beforehand.’ “
“He’s still not the whole entire package, but he’s a majority of the change that I need. And I don’t think anybody is the whole package,” Haddish said.
“I might be a pessimist in this way, but I don’t think there’s any person that’s the whole shebang, everything you want. And I think that’s impossible.”
