Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah’s rap career was really starting to take off when her suffered a personal loss. Back in 1992, the Newark native’s world was rocked when her older brother Lancelot was killed while riding his motorcycle. The bike had been a gift from his famous sister. Decades after his death the singer/rapper/actress revealed that she still struggles with her grief. “It (a close family death) takes parts of you away,” she said in an interview. “So when you have to rebuild parts of yourself, you have to figure out how to live without a limb. That’s how I feel about losing my brother and having to refigure out life. But life goes on because I’m still breathing. I’m still alive.”
