The celebration for Nelson Mandela's birthday went down at the famous Radio City Music Hall this past weekend in NYC. Artists like Alicia Keys and Queen Latifah all came out to show love to the hero. But one of the most memorable moments was when Lil Kim & 80's crazy girl Cyndi Lauper (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, She-Bop) took the stage to sing a Time After Time/Lighters Up mix with Kim singing!
She sounded like crap in the beginning but I can't front, she hit some good notes here and there towards the middle; end. And whatever instrument Cyndi was playing she skilled it! I grew up on Cyndi Lauper music. Loves her!!

U.N.I.T.Y

Queen Latifah is a strong, powerful role model to women of all colors everywhere, so it's very sad to hear that she was sexually abused.
The Queen is speaking out for the first time about being a victim of sexual abuse as a child.
In an interview in the July 2009 issue of Essence magazine, Latifah says a teenage babysitter tried to get his way with her, leaving her unable to form relationships as an adult.
"He violated me. I never told anybody. I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arms length. I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue."
Rise up La. This ordeal should never be put on anyone! Ladies first. . . ladies first.
