Tiffany Haddish left the script on Sunday night when she gave a Verizon show to support small businesses.
In a clip that has now gone viral, the comedian was frustrated with the producers when trying to present her performance on stage and ended up cursing when she was asked to delay.
Verizon’s Big Concert for Small Business was broadcast live and featured big acts like Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Jazmine Sullivan and Christina Aguilera.

Halfway through the event, Haddish, 41, started introducing her
“Our next artist has a career that I’ve been following since the beginning. When I saw her kill him at the BET Awards, ‘she said, reading the script on a teleprompter.
The actress then questioned some instructions she received from the production through her headset.
‘What the hell does’ vamp ‘mean, yo?’ the Girls Trip star asked, before a team member told her that ‘vamp’ means ‘delay’.

‘Now they asked me to vamp. I don’t know what vamp means, ‘she admitted
Hilarious: Haddish said, ‘For me, vamp means being a vampire or’ vamping ‘like slowly disappearing and / or working out? Perhaps that is the word they should have used. Elaborate. But let’s continue, boys.
The actress tried to keep talking about ALS, but turned her attention to the producers.

Haddish then tried to present it again, but the camera did not cut for the singer, but remained awkwardly on the presenter.
‘Oh, do they want more vampires ?! They need more vampires, so wait for HER, ‘she said. ‘You have to communicate with me in appropriate English / They in my ear, I will keep 100 with you. They told me to be cooler. What the hell does that mean? I’m the coolest! ‘
Near the end of the show, Haddish addressed the problems.
‘They need more vampires, so wait HER,’ Haddish said when she was asked to curl up again
‘This was not the easiest situation,’ Haddish said towards the end of the show.
‘I personally am in a studio alone, it is cold and I am ready to bring warmth. But it’s cold. ‘Haddish said
“This was not the easiest situation,” she said. ‘Every time an act leaves the stage, they have to clean the whole stage, get totally new microphones, everything new, you have to keep in mind that some of these acts were not played for anyone. … I personally am in a studio alone, it is cold and I am ready to bring the heat. But it’s cold. ‘
Subsequently, on Twitter, she described the show as one of the most difficult she has ever done.
‘I always support small businesses in my community!’ she tweeted. “I just want to say that it was one of the most difficult and fun things I’ve ever done. Thanks @Verizon for allowing me to participate in something so big #BigConcertSmallBiz. ‘
Verizon responded to Haddish, writing: ‘Thank you for sharing our passion and commitment to supporting small businesses across the country.’
