First Came Queen Latifah’s Revelations…
In the Dec. 1993/Jan. 1994 Vibe article, interviewer, Stefane Sadnaoui, noted that Latifah wanted to discuss her ‘much-overlooked femininity and her “delicate, sensitive” side.’ In doing so, the U-N-I-T-Y raptress touched on the topic of men, babies, her Mother, and her Pops:
“I’ve been wanting to have a baby since I was 17,” Latifah says. “I wanted to do it early like my mother did, so that I could be cool and just have fun and be young enough to swing with the kids and have the energy for ’em like my moms and pops did for us. Just recently I made the decision that I wanted a husband, because I know I’m not gonna be able to swing that pregnancy alone: Soon as i get morning sickness I’m gonna become a b*tch and somebody’s gotta share it with me. And I want them to grown up with a father. I didn’t.” -via Vibe
