Actress Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith's friendship started way before they were on-screen best friends/bank robbers. The pair originally met at a chance encounter in a Baltimore club as teens. During a press tour for their 2017 film "Girl Trip," Pinkett Smith tells People that she met the former female rapper while sneaking into a Baltimore nightclub as a teen.
"It was in Baltimore at a club where she was performing," Pinkett Smith told the outlet. "I'd never seen anyone like her before, this female rapper named Queen Latifah. I convinced the promoter to let me introduce her." Drawn to her style and presence, Pinkett Smith ended up taking the mic and introducing the rising star, Queen Latifah.
The former rapper recalls their chance meeting, remembering how young they both were. "My mother was with me," she recalled. "That's how young I was." Pinkett Smith reminisces about the evening as well, adding that she too was only a teen, quipping, "I had no business being in that club!"
