Tiffany Haddish moved around a lot before becoming well-known. She was raised in South Central LA and spent time in foster care before living with her mother and brothers in a homeless shelter. Before settling in the opulent Beverly Hills, Tiffany owned homes all around California as an adult, including in San Francisco, Oakland, and LA. The accomplished actress and comedian now resides in Southern California, as reported by Newstandupcomedy.

The Los Angeles metropolitan region, which serves as a center for Hollywood superstars, is where Tiffany's home is situated. Her present home is fairly roomy and opulent, and includes a swimming pool, a gym, and security systems to preserve her privacy. The home has elegant interiors with large windows that provide stunning views of the city, as well as modern architecture.

The actress and comedian mostly concentrated on weddings hosted at hotels in Westchester, a community on the Westside of Los Angeles County, when she spoke about her tough times. She said, "I would have two or three drinks, and then I would grab the microphone and be like, "I just want to say that you are the most beautiful couple,"" She added, "Everybody would be looking at me like, "Who is this Black girl at our wedding?"

When the subject of weddings came up, Haddish also noted the second season of the murder mystery comedy series is all about weddings. A separate character's version of what occurred on the day of the event is told in each episode, just as the first season, which was set during a high school reunion afterparty.
