Female rappers need to unite, says Queen Latifah

• Queen Latifah believes that female rappers should come together.
• She urged young stars to seize control of their own careers.
• She told E! News: “Don’t be a pawn, control your career”.

Female rappers are being advised by the 52-year-old celebrity to collaborate more frequently and to put their “ego” aside.

The rap icon – who released her debut album, ‘All Hail the Queen’, in 1989 – said: “I would say to you, now is the time for you to do whatever you want with your career because we had that done to us. A lot of crews kind of claimed, like, the one female in the group and wouldn’t kind of let us all work with each other sometimes.

“Then the smart ones, of course, we got to jump on each other’s records and make smash hit music and elevate the whole genre.

“So, if you have the power or if you want to work with somebody go work with them. It’s all ego … and most of the time it’s not our ego it’s somebody else’s ego competing against someone else’s and we’re just the pawns.”

The ‘U.N.I.T.Y.’ hitmaker urged young stars to seize control of their own careers.

She told E! News: “Don’t be a pawn, control your career, speak from the heart, say what you want to say, represent us and let’s go. Let’s get this.”

Cardi B, on the other hand, has asserted in the past that she was genuinely happier before achieving fame and fortune.

One benefit is that my family gets whatever they want, said the 30-year-old rap singer who is among the best-selling artists in the world. I can acquire anything I wish to buy. I don’t need to be as concerned about the future.
