Queen Latifah loves her some Megan Thee Stallion. The “U.N.I.T.Y.” rapper joined The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday (Oct. 28), where she gushed about what Megan’s been able to accomplish and how Latifah ended up on stage alongside the Houston Hottie at Coachella earlier this year.
“She’s so cool, she’s so fun, she’s so very talented and strong in her spot,” she told her The Secret Life of Bees costar about Meg. “I love that energy carrying hip-hop into the future, of course.”
Queen Latifah hit the stage during Meg’s set at weekend one of Coachella in April, which came as one of the biggest surprises of day three. Latifah rocked the crowd alongside Thee Stallion with a performance of her “U.N.I.T.Y.” anthem.
“She asked me to pop out at Coachella and I was like, ‘What? For Real, OK?’ I had to bring it for her because this is Coachella, we gotta take that thing down,” Queen Latifah said. “The people are gonna be ready.
She continued: “I wanna thank her again for having me, it was so much fun. They worked so hard, her dancers and everybody. It was just good energy that night.”
Queen Latifah wasn’t the only special guest, as Megan also brought out Ciara for “Goodies,” which she samples on “Roc Steady,” and Victoria Monèt.
The New Jersey native also teased some new music on the way after some prying from Hudson. “It’s just so much music and it’s time and the things, but I’ma make some time because I want to get it out there,” she said. “It’s all kinds of music too.”
