Queen Latifah's Coachella appearance during Megan Thee Stallion's set was TOO ICONIC!
If you've ever doubted Queen Latifah's musical abilities — which you've never had a reason to — the multitalented actress silenced all the haters with her Coachella appearance last night. During Megan Thee Stallion's impeccable performance, she brought out some of Black culture's biggest stars, from Grammy Award-winning singer Ciara to hip hop's undisputed legendary trendsetter Queen Latifah and soulful goddess Victoria Monet.
The crowd was already hyped as Megan powered through one of the best Coachella sets we've ever seen. So when the Queen, unexpectedly, popped up on stage, things got even better. Latifah performed an unreleased verse for one of Megan's top songs (which was probably recorded specially for the set) and her hit single "U.N.I.T.Y."
Social Media's Response to Queen Latifah's Coachella Appearance
From the people in attendance to everyone at home watching via stream and social media users, we can't even count how many tweets we saw of ecstatic people seeing this united performance happen for the culture.
We've picked out some of our favorite tweets from last night. One fan said, "Megan, come get your CLOCK! Getting Queen Latifah on your Coachella set, ICONIC things only! I'm getting my life right now #MEGCHELLA." Another posted, "Ahhh, I'm loving Meg Thee Stallion surprising Coachella with Queen Latifah. Unity for real. Love it."
What the Appearance Means for "The Culture"
Even new generations of hip-hop fans and those just now learning about Living Single can't help but appreciate the impact of Queen Latifah's work. She opened doors for female rappers like Megan Thee Stallion and created her own lane to thrive in with Living Single (and movies like Set It Off, Beauty Shop, Chicago, and more).
