@Alice-fr1ef11 months ago I like Queen Latifah because she is private and she lets her talent speak for her. She is beautiful, kind and very talented and seems to be able to achieve whatever she sets her mind to and that is to be admired. She has class, grace and is a great role model for other ladies. Her private life is her business and not mine. I enjoy her talent and she is the best thing that ever happened for Covergirl. ... 5

@

@bosshog827711 months ago She is def the Queen and she really had it rough having come up during the era when it was truly a male dominated genre and was harder for women to break into the game.

@reirei785111 months ago I loved Last Holiday. She looked so fabulous in that movie and it really made me cry…stupid broken machine. lol
Seriously though, this woman can act. She can play literally any role. I didn’t know her music, since I didn’t speak English until AFTER she was in the movies.
I can only imagine the struggles she had to go through in the Hollywood industry as well as what this sometimes cruel world can bestow on a person. And look at her now. Successful!
I used to Love watching living single. John Henton and Kim Coles were my favorite on that show. They were so silly and adorable! ... 7

@lexuscoleman448811 months ago If you know me you know i love me some of Queen L she was so beautiful and funny . she was the original The Stallion . I love all of her movies my favorite movie of hers is bringing down the house then the rest everything she acted in is good. I love her confidence and boldness. I love how she always rapped about unity and her smile is always so genuine. She so funny and she lived up to her name. I love seeing her in magazines like essence and the Revlon commercial she really conquered a lot as one of the main female first rappers to do it all and brand so well without selling her self out . She did it all and ofc in Living single she always slayed her hairstyles and her rap verse was everything i loved watching living single growing up i was young to understand but seeing her and maxine she was my favorite . The Queen was everything and still is i’m glad to still see her looking good and out here still relevant doing her thing i like how she keeps her life private maybe that way keeps her so healthy beautiful and thank you for sharing why she wore that key on her neck i didn’t know she lost her brother they looked like twins i’m glad she found strength to continue to push through.💜💜💜💜 ... 3

@iconoclastic-fantastic11 months ago What a woman. My biggest celebrity crush- a living legend who's not afraid to stand on her own & OWN any creative arena she finds herself in. She's always been a real one with a lovely, charming personality. It brought me so much joy to find out she's confirmed her queerness & that she is in a happy, loving relationship & has a family. She deserves it all! Long live the Queen. She deserves her flowers NOW & forever ... 11

@amigadecachorros11 months ago I love that the way you pronounce it “sensuality” and not sexuality. I wish people would ask about peoples sensuality😂 instead of the other. It actually reminds me of why I used to like your channel, like you could learn how to put on an affectation of softness. ... 1

@

@yokotoatto442611 months ago Been waiting for you to do one on Foxy Brown. She's the most controversial female rapper. All the rumors. Her attitude. Plus she broke barriers being dark skinned and 'marketable'/commercially successful. I remember all the rumor mill in the 90s about her being mixed (Filipino and Black) because people really couldn't stomach a dark skinned woman being attractive. She also said Def Jam used to lighten her photos I believe. ... 6
