The legendary hip hop star Queen Latifah did a recent interview that started off as promotion for her new movie "Ice Age: Collision Course", but it also turned into a lesson about hip hop and the current sentiment by black lives matter against police brutality. She said that she’s “at a loss for words” following the death of Alton Sterling in Minnesota.
Dana showed her human side in the interview by not being afraid about stating how cops need to be held accountable for their actions. The interviewer praised Queen Latifah for her accomplishments, but she showed that those mean little in comparison to what she always done with her music which is have a message. She says she is "black everywhere I go" which makes her a target just as a regular African American in the communities.
She made it be known that she has cops in her family (her father is a cop) and feels that the good cops need to help get the bad cops. Latifah feels cops need to do this to prevent other cops from getting wrongly murdered.
Last week Queen Latifah was apart of VH1's Hip Honors which gave respect to the females who paved the way for today's era of women in hip hop. Queen Latifah has always been about social issues in songs like "Just Another Day".
