She started performing on stage at the time of school days and got her stage name, Latifah.
She was once addicted to drug abuse and fell into depression because of her older brother’s tragic death. She gifted a motorcycle to her brother, which eventually became the reason for the incident. Her brother, Lancelot Jr., was riding the motorcycle at the time of his killing in 1992. She refused to come out of the emotions followed by a depression, which was later recovered. She dedicated ‘Black Reign’ to him and always wore the motorcycle key as a pendant.
After this, she saw her boyfriend’s death in 1995 in a carjacking. Following year, she was arrested for consuming drugs and was found with a loaded gun. Again, in 2002 she was arrested for not abiding by the driving rules.
