# Queen Latifah

Dana Elaine Owens més coneguda pel seu nom artístic Queen Latifah (18 de març de 1970) és una rapera, compositora, cantant, actriu, model, productora de televisió, productora musical i presentadora de televisió estatunidenca.

## Vida personal

Quan era petita, un noi adolescent encarregat de cuidar-la va abusar d'ella repetidament. Això representa un episodi traumàtic de la seva vida pel qual va recórrer a la teràpia i que va amagar molt de temps als seus pares. No va ser fins a la mort del seu germà que es va atrevir a contar-los-ho.
La seva parella és la ballarina i coreògrafa Eboni Nichols, amb qui té un fill, Rebel. La cantant, que sempre s'havia negat a parlar de la seva sexualitat i la seva vida personal, va reconèixer públicament la seva parella i el fill d'ambdues durant el seu discurs d'acceptació del Lifetime Achievement Award als BET Awards 2021, discurs que va tancar exclamant "Happy Pride!" (lit. Feliç orgull!)
