Queen Latifah is showing love to Nas and DJ Premier after the legends surprised her with a thoughtful gesture celebrating her impact on hip-hop. “The Message Behind It Mean More Than You Know”
Taking to Instagram, the rap icon thanked the pair for sending her a beautiful bouquet of flowers along with a heartfelt note recognizing the contributions of women in hip-hop.
“Thank you to my Brothers @nas, and @djpremier, for this beautiful surprise. The love, the thought, and the message behind it mean more than you know,” Latifah wrote.
The gift appears to be part of Nas and DJ Premier’s effort to honor pioneering women in rap. Their note acknowledged that “the story of this culture can’t be told without your voice in it,” a sentiment that clearly resonated with Latifah, who said the recognition carried even greater meaning coming from two artists she holds in such high regard.
