Queen Latifah Reveals How She First Met Her Partner | The Drew Barrymore Show

[@OhMaryJo]

Someone asked me once who I thought was the most beautiful woman in the world and I immediately said Queen Latifah. ❤

[@BridgetsAnimalHouse]

Thank you for the clarification. I was confused when she said “he.”

[@andrewcicchetti]

@@BridgetsAnimalHouse It seemed like Drew didn't know.

[@jlv3x]

Queen has been talking about him for 20+ years and I know she usually just refers to him as her partner instead of her business partner. Like she said at this point they're probably more like family than business partners. I think the title was worded to get views because the Queen never talks about her romantic life like that on television.

[@domigriffin340]

Right I thought she was gonna talk about her wife

[@macwell]

​@@BridgetsAnimalHouseSAME!! I was like, 'wayaminute!! Did Dana pull an MC Lyte??!! 🤔😮🤣❤️👍🏿

[@DanTowey]

EXACTLY!!! She has been with Eboni Nichols for 11 years & they welcomed a son named Rebel in 2019. WTF closet Queen ....

[@augusts1]

Yea I was honestly confused & replayed the part where she talks about him. I've known Latifah was lesbian for a long time & with a woman, romantically.

[@iamjro]

SMH they did it to get more clicks

[@Faithandlove113]

because the way I clicked so fast! LOL! The Queen never talks her personal business, so shame on the Drew show for this clickbait!

[@gretelstewart6871]

Queen Latifah looks alway reminds me of the late Pearl Bailey. I think she should one day do her Biopic. Queen Latifah is a Beautiful lady. Very Talented. I've never met her, but she's my friend in my head. 🤗

The Queen's mother sounds like she was an amazing person. I was around when the videos first started rotating on BET. And it seemed her mother was never too far behind, steadfastly cheering her on. I bet she had a major hand in Latifah's success, and her daughter would certainly not contest that. Beautiful to see such a close relationship between mother and child.

I was at Tower Records in the late 90s and I heard this voice talking to the person working behind the counter, I couldn’t see her but I knew that was Queen Latifah. When she was done I walked over and said “It is very nice to meet you.” She smiled a huge smile and said “It’s nice to meet you too.” “I’ve to go to go” and she went and met her girlfriend outside and they walked off down the sidewalk. Nice Memory.
