Queen Latifah Speaks On The Challenges Of Having A Private Life While Famous & The Dangers Of Being Moved By Money

#QueenLatifah may have mastered the balance between fame and privacy.

In a rare interview with #AngieMartinez, Queen Latifah shared that despite public perception, she’s “always been outside,” adding that those who know, know. The multi-hyphenate star explained that while some people are skilled at navigating fame, others struggle with it, but she’s never felt the need to put her entire life on display. “I’ve tried to be a person who asks for help,” she said, noting that over time she’s learned the importance of stepping away from the spotlight when needed in order to re-center.

“Because I appear that I can handle a lot, people throw a lot at me to handle…there’s a limit to how much I can handle,” Queen Latifah continued. She also made it clear that no matter the financial opportunity, she “cannot be moved by money,” calling it “too dangerous,” and adding that she’s not afraid to “bounce” if things don’t align.
