Queen Latifah announced divorce after months of speculation:she claims that her husband Michael K is no longer giving her the respect she deserves

At a Tribeca Film Festival event on Friday, the rapper-actress said, “I pray about things before I do them.” “I feel that I need to get quiet about something, especially anything major, something minor, or something nagging at me, so I have to stop and pray about things a lot.”

She clarified, “I had a gut feeling that something was not right. This is not always the case, and since I began my profession so early, I just had instincts in place of information, which I did not have. But the instinct was keen. I was particularly well directed by my ability to sense people’s energy and to move quickly away from them if they were not right. The second voice in our minds was that of my mother, my [business] partner Shakim [Compere], and ourselves.

The 49-year-old Latifah acknowledged that she turned down lucrative jobs “because they didn’t sit good in my heart.”

Dana Elaine Owens, who was born in Newark, New Jersey, claimed that her ability to adhere to her principles when it came to closing deals was largely due to her early work as a rapper before transitioning into acting.

“I was not a Hollywood person when I first arrived in the industry. I was already a boss before I became an actor because I started out as a rapper and later became a manager and then an actor,” she remarked. “I had no intention of pursuing many of the things that Hollywood demands of its actors. I have always had the mindset that I can tell anyone in Hollywood, “F you.”
