From her iconic 1989 debut album All Hail the Queen, featuring the groundbreaking track “Ladies First,” to her acting career, producing, and activism, Latifah’s influence in both hip hop and pop culture is undeniable.

As the first female rapper nominated for an Oscar for her role in Chicago and a Grammy Award winner, she has solidified her legacy in music, film, and beyond.
