“Only @russwest44would be able to truly confirm this, and I doubt he will, but I’m told that he left a $8,000 tip for the Grand Floridian housekeepers when the @HoustonRocketsleft the NBA bubble. Moreover, I’m told, he left the room virtually spotless,” Dallas Morning News‘ reporter, Brad Townsend, tweeted.
Westbrook confirmed the news with Taylor Rooks but didn’t “disclose the amount.” “Spoke to Russ Westbrook. Confirmed he left a generous tip & thank you letter to housekeepers in the bubble. He didn’t disclose the amount “They took great care of us. Took the time and energy to do their job at a high level. That was the right thing. I like to do the right thing,” she tweeted.
The NBA bubble served as a home for ball players for the last few weeks after a Summer hiatus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Right befoew the season returned, Russell Westbrook revealed that he tested positive for the coronavirus.
“I tested positive for covid-19 prior to my teams departure to Orlando. I’m currently feeling well, quarantined, and looking forward to rejoining my teammates when I am cleared. Thank you all for the well wishes and continued support. Please take this virus seriously. Be safe. Mask up! #whynot,” he said at the time.
After the final game on Sunday, no positive coronavirus cases were reported inside of the bubble. Seemingly making it an operational success and proving the benefits of quarantining and social distancing.

Tiffany Haddish’s African Grocery Store Visit Sparks Debate, Is She a Trailblazer or Out of Touch?
Tiffany Haddish is at the center of controversy after a video of her visit to a grocery store in Zimbabwe went viral. In the clip, Haddish marvels at the store’s size and the availability of items like sugar cane and organic strawberries, which she seemed to find surprising.
The reaction from viewers has been mixed. Some applauded her for challenging stereotypes about Africa, while others mocked her for acting as if the continent lacked modern amenities. One user on X quipped, “Tiffany Haddish, the first woman to discover a grocery store in Africa,” while another expressed confusion over her reaction, questioning why she seemed surprised by the store’s offerings.
In response to the backlash, Haddish took to X to clarify her intentions. She emphasized that her goal was to “demystify” Africa and encourage more Black Americans to visit.
This incident follows another controversial trip earlier this year, when Haddish visited Israel amid ongoing conflicts, a move that drew criticism for its insensitivity. Despite the recent backlash, Haddish remains active, with her latest project being the memoir I Curse You With Joy, which has garnered positive reviews for its candidness.
In an era where public figures must tread carefully, it seems Haddish’s words continue to spark debate, whether she’s on a global adventure or sharing her personal experiences.
