Common‘s split from Tiffany Haddish was apparently unceremonious, according to the Girls Trip actor’s recent account of the 2021 breakup.
In an interview with The Washington Post published on Thursday (July 20), Haddish described her version of events in the demise of what she referred to as the “healthiest [and] the funnest relationship” that she’s ever had.
“It wasn’t mutual,” Haddish said, revealing that the rapper broke up with her over the phone. “It was more him saying, ‘I think this relationship has run its course.’ And I was like, ‘Okay. Like you gonna be a 50-year-old single man. Okay?’”
Haddish first revealed she and Common were dating in August 2020 during an interview with Jackass star Steve-O on his podcast Steve-O’s Wild Ride. “I am in a relationship,” she said at the time, before confirming she was dating Common with, “Yeah, we’re twins now.”
In true Tiffany Haddish form, she also confessed rather crassly they’d taken their friendship from a virtual Bumble date to an intimate level, adding: “And then he got tested for everything, I got tested for everything and yeah, we’ve been fucking.”
Things seemed to be going well for the couple for a while, with Common once telling the People Every Day podcast how much their relationship had made him grow.
“I think one of the important things about relationships for me has been to really know myself more and love myself and be able to express the things that I want,” he said at the time. “I’ve evolved and gotten to that place.”
According to Common, he and Haddish were simply too busy to have a real relationship. “I don’t think the love really dispersed. I just think it was like we weren’t feeding the relationship. Neither one of us is gonna stop. We both care about our crafts and what we do,” he explained.
“We care about love too and partnership, but I think the energy that has been put into our careers and continuing to want to do the things that we do for ourselves and for the people, it was hard for me to balance all of that and keep the relationship fed.”
He added: “[We decided] this is what’s gonna be best for us, to still continue to love each other and be there for each other but to not be in a romantic relationship, because we won’t be able to give to that. I don’t want to be one foot in, one foot out.”
Common shares a 24-year-old daughter with his ex-girlfriend Kim Jones. He was also once romantically linked to Erykah Badu and tennis star Serena Williams, among others.
Well I’d broke up with her too. The bitch is ugly as fxck with that big mole on her face. And she acts and talks like a ratchet.
Hum some one dont know what ugly looks like hope you don’t look anything like the spelling of your name now that’s ugly 😂
Did you just want to say something negative? Her crass, ‘rachet’ mannerism and conversations is true enough…but ugly? No, pal. You got that wrong.
Damn, a person might have I I. I assumed with a name like Talib Kweli, you would have a kinder, nicer soul and uplift Black women not be little them. I guess you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. Your name might as well be Bob Johnson. But you have the nerve to call someone else rachet and ugly. You must don’t own a mirror.
How could you be so insensitive? Your comment’s immature and extremely disappointing. Not a good look, Talib.
Look at y’all bxtches replying to my post. LMFAO. Yes I said it and I stand by it. She’s ugly as fxck. U G L Y. And she’s definitely giving ratchet vibe. 100%. Yall bxtches are just a bunch of hypocrites cause a woman can fart and shxt on someone’s mouth and yall will still find something in her defense. FOH. And yall wonder why there are less black men to date black women these days… GTFOH
I think she’s hot!
I think Common needs professional mental help
I feel all of us need to heal before getting in a relationship.The well known people seem to bounce around quick and whimsy with this.. Name calling is the less of our problem we are more valuable l get it you get a little bread mix with followers and stupidity flows out. It takes nothing to love unconditionally. As for the average person love yourself so you discover the value of sharing your life with another. Life’s short.
