Go to youtube and watch the Inside The Actors Studio with her. She tells herself
I think it's just her stage name. Nothing special. Maybe something she just chose..?
Her cousin gave her the name Latifah, its Arabic meaning "pleasant, gentle"; black women often refer 2 themselves as queens.
It's a stage name, she just calls herself that.
its her stage name...if im not wrng... but bit too much for a stage name.. same like MJ cald himself king of pop..
now both are out of music industry and both queen and king in their homes..
