She definitely keeps her image in check. Like she's always polished, even if it's not truly her style, she rocks it all the time. You see her in her downtime she's very laxed

She is one of the very few stars I would probably fangirl over if I met her in person. 🥰

You don't think a feminist is she? I don't like feminists and i pray to allah she is not one. Does anyone know if she calls her self a black feminist?
This woman is a career reviver, consummate thespian, amazing artist, savvy business woman and a simply dope person. Her industry rep is pristine and she is respected by everyone across all genres. Bow to the QUEEN!!!
Yes. Queen Latifah is definitely our Queen. So happy she's got a new movie out.

Nicely watched
I waited on Queen Latifah one afternoon several years ago in We Ho. The restaurant was having a lull at that moment so she was the only person in the place. I tried to keep my cool, but when that woman smiled, it was like a mega wattage of light and beauty filled the room! I was taken aback by the power of The Queen! She's annointed.
What a beautiful woman... Queen Latifah! Love everything about her... great rapper and actress, talk show host and decent human being.
her smile is amazing
Love her so so much!! Her energy, wisdom, coolness and charisma are so awe inspiring and wonderful!!!!! An absolute icon forever and always!!❤️❤️❤️
I adored her as a kid in Living Single, I watched Chicago a million times mostly just for her as a teenage theatre kid, and yet, against all odds, this interview made me love her more.

Queen Latifah is really dope. This was a fun interview to watch.
Funny but I am the same age as Queen and I always remember looking up to her as I grew up. She was smart, tough, sexy and could stand alone. I admire her as a person and find everything she does to be entertaining. Keep up the greatness Queen 👑🥰🤭👍🏼

Queen Latifah, the definition of Grace and Gorgeous. Badda bing badda boom you nailed your role in Spike Lee’s movie.
Love her. Always good vibes
Wow, the Queen. Love her, and Adam. I remember playing the hell out of her music when I attended Howard in 1990. I was on her TV show and it was nice. Got a cell phone that day along with the entire audience. She is so cool, so real. She reminds me of my little sister because they look alike and have that same aura. 💯
I ❤️ her. She’s such a Queen 👸🏽
Adam sander is just a down to earth actor, they way he carry himself is like I'm still a regular person no matter how movies he's been ,much respect to him
I just imagined Charles' face after being told that when Queen Liz passes, he still has to wait for Queen Latifah to go before he gets the crown.
