Taraji P. Henson has revealed that she a fan of Lola Brooke.
During a recent interview with BBC 1xtra’s Nadia Jae, the actress revealed how she felt about Lola Brooke after she was named-dropped in one of the Brooklyn rapper’s hit “You” featuring Bryson Tiller. “I was just scrolling and, you know, I’m a hip-hop head and I love female MCs and I always post them,” Henson began. “I knew about Lola because I’ve seen the award ceremonies. I love the song. And I love her voice; it’s nostalgic for me. She reminds me of the female MCs back in the day – Lil Kim, Foxy Brown. She has that tone. And I was like, ‘Who is like young girl?’
She continued, “So I’ve been watching her and then she dropped that song and I was scrolling and I was like, ‘Wait! What did she say?!’ And she didn’t say Yvette, she said my name! And so I reposted it and she reached out to me in the DM and she was like, ‘Oh wow, oh my God. You’re so iconic. This means so much to me!’ I said, ‘Baby girl, just keep doing it. I got you. I’m a fan!’” Check out the clip below.
