Tiffany Haddish Beyonce Drama Drama Behind Her – Variety

Beyonce and Tiffany Haddish have moved up to the headlines that the "Girls Trip" star jumped up when she saw an unnamed actress dick the singer at a private party.

Variety caught up with Haddish on Thursday night at the City of Hope gala in Los Angeles, where Beyonce performed in honor of Jon Platt, chairman and CEO of Warner / Chappell Music Publishing and soon-to-be chief of Sony / ATV.

"We're not BFFs – we have not braided each other's hair or anything, but we cool," Haddish said.

Platt was honored for his philanthropic efforts for cancer and diabetes causes.

Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland was excited to get over with Beyonce, but she only wanted to talk about Platt on this occasion. "My goodness. You see Big Jon all the time and you always see him with artists and writers – it's because everybody has such love and respect for him, "Rowland told Variety. "He's a great, powerful black man in music and I'm so proud to help you tonight."

The event also drew longtime admirers such as Quincy Jones, Usher, and Jermaine Dupri, who called Platt "the biggest boss of them all right now." "Another one of my friends who worked at EMI [Music] Publishing, Steve Prudhomme, actually introduced me to Jon, "Dupri said. "And from there, we've been really, really good friends – just talking about business, just doing things, eating, having a good time playing video games, and just being good friends for over 20 years."

Despite all the accolades, Platt lived up to his humble reputation. "The fact that I'm being honored is actually part of the story – the big part of the story is that we're able to touch so many lives because of tonight," he told Variety. "My son has type 1 diabetes, there's a personal connection. But the technology and the research has come a long way, and it's going to be better as we move forward. That will affect my son's life, so I'm quite happy about that, "he added.

But Platt did not exactly like her friendship Beyonce; she did not have to think about the offer for a long time. She said: 'I'd be honored.' It was fast, "Platt said. Meanwhile, Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z, hailed Platt as "the Obama of the music industry."

Before Beyonce performed a four-song set that included "Ava Maria" and "Halo," she paid a special tribute to Platt. "Most people in this industry lead with their egos, but you lead with your heart, touch so many lives, mine included," she said, summing up the vibe in the room. "I'd like to say congratulations on this beautiful night. We all love you so deeply. "
