Tiffany Haddish is known for her stand-up comedy and her roles in movies like Night School, Like a Boss, and Bad Trip. She also won a Grammy Award in 2020 for her comedy album Black Mitzvah.
According to justnje.com, Kai was one of the most mysterious contestants on the first season of Claim to Fame. But this did not stop Amara from guessing correctly that she was related to the comedic actress in the sixth episode.
Kai Dropped a Huge Clue About Her Celebrity Relative
Kai gave away a major hint about her famous sister in episode five, when the contestants participated in a fashion show challenge. They had to wear an outfit that revealed something about themselves or their celebrity relative.
Kai wore a floor-length white gown that looked very familiar to some viewers. As Newsweek reported, fans recognized the dress as the one that Tiffany Haddish wore to several red carpet events between 2017 and 2018.
