The creator, who goes by the username Lowameyasu, claims that she attended an event as a plus one with her entertainment journalist friend. While there, she encountered several celebrities, including the one in question. The TikToker, who is Eritrean, explains that the woman sat next to her, and they sparked a conversation about their nationality. The unidentified celeb is also half Eritrean, and the TikToker began giving her props for being able to represent the country while working in Hollywood. The creator then started speaking about the state of Eritrea and how the country’s president, Isaias Afwerki, is harming the region. The entertainer then seemingly defended him by stating, “He invited me to the country, and I had a great time,” before adding that Afwerki was excellent to her, and the two even enjoyed tea together.

The TikToker tried to explain to the entertainer that Afwerki is responsible for the mistreatment of residents and imprisoning journalists for reporting on the unrest. However, the star further stood by the country’s leader, claiming that he “needed slaves to build that country.” After educating her that slaves were not required to rebuild Eritrea after a thirty-year war, the TikToker then asked the entertainer her views on George Washington, who was a documented enslaver in America. The woman replied that the U.S. president also required enslaved people for labor.  This prompted the TikToker to end the conversation altogether.

Social media quickly pointed out that Haddish’s father, Tsihaye Reda Haddish, was born in Eritrea. She began connecting with her father’s roots after he passed away in 2018. That same year, she was photographed with Afwerki during her first visit to the country. From there, she made several other visits to the area. 

Comedian/actress @TiffanyHaddish with #Eritrea president. Eritrean leaders don't own a private jet, a limousine or a mansion. Rather they live in a small houses as an ordinary citizen. They don't close streets when they pass. Most drive small private cars or use public transport. pic.twitter.com/J4W8DaBLVn

The TikToker did admit at the beginning of the video that viewers would immediately know who she was referring to once she began telling the story and it didn’t take long for social media to accuse Haddish of being the culprit.

I don’t normally hate people, but I do hate Tiffany Haddish. She still has a platform because she’s Hollywood’s willing court jester. https://t.co/DoLZVyvOUi

Obviously Tiffany Haddish. She’s also a genocide denier who has suggested that the people dying and starving in Tigray are actors (over half a million Tigrayans have died, mainly as a result of the man-made famine, in just two years). Fuck her for life. https://t.co/xxd1I9VLRg

Tiffany Haddish definitely strikes me as a "Well whatever. They treated ME well" kind of person.

Yet those same people want all the empathy in scenarios we're THEY'RE the one being victimized.
Funny how that works. https://t.co/yaWCOwirFP

This is definitely about Tiffany Haddish and sounds like some dumb shit she'd say.

I'd also like to remind everyone that Tiffany regularly drinks paint thinner.

So, while a worm didn't eat her brain, she still has the holes. 🫠 https://t.co/4zysZIvwPH
