And we're here with Queen [00:07] Latifah who stars in the new film based on the best- selling [00:10] novel, The Secret Life of the Bees. She is here to answer [00:13] some question from Time readers. Thanks for joining us. [00:15] >>Thanks for having me. [00:17] >>Our first question here is from Andy Cleveland who [00:20] comes from Grand Rapids, Michigan. What is your given [00:22] birth name and where did Queen Latifah come from? [00:24] >>Oh, wow. My birth name is Dana [00:28] Owens. Latifah is a nickname that I chose when I was like [00:32] about 8 years old. My cousin brought over his book with all [00:36] these Arabic names and they had meanings to them and [00:39] Latifah meant, delicate, sensitive, kind, nice. And I felt like [00:42] that name sort of fit me. I have been kicking around a lot of [00:45] different things, but I just didn't wanna be MC Latifah, so I [00:49] decided Queen. And Queen Latifah, I felt like, you know, [00:53] every woman is a queen and should be treated as such. At [00:55] least, that's what my mom taught me. So, I kinda just [00:58] connected the two. I ran it past my boys, they liked it and [01:02] so I kept it. [01:04] >>Muniqui Mohammad from Sendai, Japan wants to know [01:06] if you've ever, ever, ever, ever-- that's the exact question-- [01:09] gonna make another rap up. [01:11] >>Absolutely and it's done. [01:12] >>Really? [01:13] >>It should be coming out in January. All the kind of [01:16] elements that people have heard from me in the past, those [01:19] who are familiar with my music, just very diverse, but [01:23] very modern, very futuristic. [01:25] >>What's it called? [01:27] >>All Hail The Queen Part II. [01:28] >>Nice. Nice. How does the hip hop industry changed [01:32] since you were in it? I mean, your opinion has it been good [01:35] or a bad change? [01:36] >>The major changes sort of the internet, it's kinda brought [01:40] music back to where it was when I first started which was [01:43] much more independent. You can create your own identity [01:47] and become someone without having to have a major [01:49] record label. I think right now is a great time in hip hop first [01:52] of all because I think, you know, people got the message [01:55] when now I said hip hop I dead. It was just like there was a [01:59] lack of creativity. Many of us as rappers, we come from [02:03] inner cities. We grew up kinda in the ghetto. So, in growing [02:05] up in the inner city, you tend to encounter a lot of things. [02:10] Crime is one of the things you tend to encounter at a young [02:12] age, but we know these stories. So, when we start talking [02:15] about these same stories over and over and over and over [02:18] without any kind of musical creativity, different [02:23] sounds that you use, melodies you might use or the [02:28] beats to sound unique is boring. It's boring. It's [02:32] like hearing the same story over and over, but not told in an [02:34] interesting way. That's what was what hip hop was [02:37] suffering from a bad case of monotony. [02:40] >>Is there a glass ceiling for Wind of Color from Hollywood [02:44] right now and if there I what can be done to eliminate it? [02:47] >>I mean, you know, there is an always an attempt to put a [02:49] glass ceiling on a woman in general, but I think networking [02:54] is the key. It's about working together. It's about connecting [02:57] with people who don't look at you with limits. I cannot say [03:01] I've had a-- do I have a glass ceiling? I don't think so. Not [03:05] that I feel, I know usually what I rap, put my mind to, you [03:10] know, my team and I were able to accomplish. [03:12] >>Unless you never have been in a point where you had [03:14] felt frustration sort of in the Hollywood. I'm sure maybe [03:16] [ unk ] early in your career. [03:17] >>Absolutely. But you know what? You ran into stupid [03:20] people everywhere, unfortunately. It doesn't matter if it's the [03:24] cab driver who doesn't wanna stop for you or, you know, or [03:27] go pass 110th St. or, you know, [03:32] if it's some executive who somehow managed to become [03:36] in a position or power to green light movies who has no [03:39] clue. I mean, you know, some things are just timing and [03:44] determination and perseverance. [03:47] >>Are you reluctant to be titled as a role model for women [03:48] with [ unk ] real bodies? [03:51] >>I'm thankful to be a role model for women with real [03:54] bodies, if you will. I've had a guy who drove me in his [03:57] limousine and tell me, you know, his 12- year old daughter [04:00] has a beautiful voice and she was afraid to sing and she [04:03] would cry because her classmates would tease her and tell [04:06] her she's never gonna make it. She can't do this and by [04:09] looking at me she started singing again and she's like, " If [04:12] Queen Latifah can do it, I can do it because she looked [04:15] more like me ." And because she had a Queen Latifah to [04:18] look at and inspire her to stay on her path, follow her [04:22] dreams. And so I think it's been a great thing, I feel good [04:25] about how I'd been able to impact peoples' lives. [04:28] >>Vanessa Bravo from Gainesville, Florida asked, " What [04:31] is the thing that you missed the most from when you were [04:34] not famous ?" [04:34] >>I miss coming to New York City in this bean, whoever [04:38] I wanted to be on that particular day. If I want to be a hip hop [04:42] head and go to a club, Latin corner or somewhere, I could [04:46] go there, you know. If I wanted to go to the village and just [04:48] buy something avant garde and just, you know, hang out [04:52] with all these gay kids in Washington Square Park, I could [04:55] do that. If I want to go a little farther into the park and hang [04:58] out with the acrobats, you know, who will flip and [05:02] I could do that. And there was like all these different me's [05:05] that I could be. And, now it's [05:09] like, you know, everybody kinda knows my face, so, you [05:12] know, you can't just do whatever you wanna do anywhere. [05:14] You know, you can't pass out and fall out, drank on the [05:18] ground, somewhere after leaving the club, like, " Ahhh !" [05:23] You know, speaking gobbledegook because guess what? [05:26] Somebody's got a camera phone and that's Queen Latifah [05:29] and it's on Youtube in like 20 seconds. So, unfortunately, [05:33] that's the world I live in now, but people do recognize me. [05:37] They may not even be able to speak English and maybe [05:38] like, "[ unk ] a taxi ." You know what I mean? [05:43] I never knew taxi was like such a popular movie, but [05:46] Mexico, Italy, you know "[ unk ] [05:51] Steve Martin ." Yeah, that was me. You know, it's funny, but [05:55] hey, you know, what are you gonna do? This is what we do [05:57] it for, get it out there. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3600408/queen-latifah-show-canceled/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3600408/queen-latifah-show-canceled/"},"headline":"The Queen Latifah Show Has Been Canceled","datePublished":"2014-11-21T21:18:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:00:19.450Z","description":"Production will cease at the end of the year","url":"https://time.com/3600408/queen-latifah-show-canceled/","keywords":["Television","CBS"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt473bb79b6cb6de80/69876a5b8e06010ae1458c12/queen-latifah.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt473bb79b6cb6de80/69876a5b8e06010ae1458c12/queen-latifah.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"18th Annual Hollywood Film Awards - Arrivals","caption":"18th Annual Hollywood Film Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"Steve Granitz—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3600408/queen-latifah-show-canceled/","name":"The Queen Latifah Show Has Been Canceled"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"10 Questions for Queen Latifah","description":"The rapper-turned-actress has a new film, The Secret Life of Bees.
