Tiffany Haddish revealed she once turned down a multimillion-dollar payday because the substance of the offer made her “feel like s–t.”

“I’ve turned down, s–t, I’ve turned down $10 million just to do a post because it didn’t represent my brand,” she told Cosmopolitan in a cover story published Thursday.

“I turned down $10 million because my soul is worth more than that to me. My spirit, my integrity, how I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror every day,” she continued.

The “Girls Trip” star admitted she’d “rather be flat broke” that accept money that doesn’t speak to her character.

Haddish, 42, said that her mindset also has extended to her career on the silver screen.

“At first with acting roles, I used to just be like, ‘What seems like fun?’ Now it’s, ‘What seems like fun and what resonates with my soul?’” she explained.

“Then I ask, who else is working on it? Will it be my friends? What I’ve noticed lately, though, is that casting has been coming to me first. So I’ve learned how to fight better too.”

The “Night School” star said it was still a “battle” to get the people she wants involved in projects, despite having “produced things, got nominated for awards, [and] won trophies.”

“I kind of know what I’m doing,” she said. “Give me an opportunity to make you richer, sir. I might not know how to keep a man, but I know how to make some money.”

The stand-up comedian also explained the importance of saying “no” to certain offers.

“I love and hate telling people no,” she said. “I love it because it’s for me—I have to take care of Tiffany. I hate it because nine times out of ten, whoever’s asking me is somebody I probably really like and care about.

“If a friend wants me to do a show or something like that, I have to be honest … you just got to be selfish in a way, and I hate that feeling of being selfish, but I love the results.”
