The story behind Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith's friendship begins long before the two actresses became on screen friends in 1996. While doing a press tour for their 2017 film Girls Trip, Pinkett Smith told People that she was just a teenager sneaking into a nightclub when she first met Latifah.
"It was in Baltimore at a club where she was performing. I'd never seen anyone like her before, this female rapper named Queen Latifah. I convinced the promoter to let me introduce her," said Pinkett Smith, who did end up taking the mic to introduce her soon-to-be longtime BFF to the stage. While reminiscing on the time, Latifah revealed she was only 17 at the time. "My mother was with me," she said."That's how young I was."
Meanwhile, Pinkett Smith was only about 15. She recalled: "I had no business being in that club!" The actress' chance meeting was clearly fate, kicking off a lifetime of friendship.
