10 Questions

My birth name is Dana Owens. Latifah is a nickname that I chose when I was about 8. It means delicate, sensitive. I was kind of big as a kid, but I felt that name fit me. Later, when I was about to sign a record contract, I didn't want to be MC Latifah. So I decided on Queen. My mom taught me to never put all my eggs in one basket. I figured if I wasn't thebest rapper, then I shouldn't completely rely on rap. Will Smith was also a big inspiration. We grew up on the road together and toured a lot. When he went out and got The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, it made us feel like we could do it too.
