Though Queen Latifah may appear untouched by time, she's been candid about the physical changes she's experiencing as she enters menopause.

“I never had a hot flash or sweat down my forehead instantly like some of my friends, but I might argue about the temperature in the car with my driver so hey, maybe that was what was going on," she told a in October 2025 of the early symptoms she faced.

"Or this last 10 pounds that doesn’t wanna go — you know, different things like that," she expressed of her weight-loss journey.

Since wrapping up The Equalizer in 2025, the rapper explained that it's been easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle and lose the stubborn weight.

“It's never been easy for me to schedule my life, but I never stop trying. I'll always continue to try to get better at it,” she continued. “And for me, I'm just excited right now because, you know, menopause is a word that has a meaning. But what’s left with the rest of life? My God, every day is a new thing I’m excited about.”

Queen Latifah emphasized the importance of sleep, noting that everything else falls into place.

“I think sleep is extremely overrated for some people, but I always try to get a good night's sleep. Eight hours or better,” she noted. “And then some exercise, eat well, strengthen your bones, and just have fun, stay positive, you know, check on your mind.”
