Queen Latifah seems to be following in the footsteps of fellow rapper 50 Cent--at least on the business investment front. The singer/hip hop entrepreneur/actress has just invested in the New York based beverage company New York Spring Water Inc.
Under the new partnership with Latifah´s Flavor Unit Entertainment, the company is spearheading a global expansion. Flavor Unit Entertainment is now part owner in the business and will help create the company's strategic mission to expand internationally.

Before her acting days, Queen Latifah could be seen rockin' the snatch-back as seen here in 1989, the same year her debut album 'All Hail The Queen' dropped. The "Dwayne-Wayne" glasses are a nice touch.

Seriously, Though
Latifah was killin' it with this vogue-esque looking pose and loose curls in 1990. Sans make-up, she was thick into her rap career in those days, and is apparently going for the Sasha fierce look.

Tomboy
Back in the day (1993), you could see Latifah sporting a backwards hat with a bob. Hip hop was definitely more masculine back then, yet despite the cap to the back, La still managed to apply some peach lipstick. A Cover Girl in the making!

Flip It, Flip It Good
At the American Music Awards the following year Queen Latifah opted to wear her hair down and layered with flipped ends. It was definitely all her hair (the weaves were to come) and though the style ages her, it was common for that time.

Basic Bob
Latifah brought in the new millennium with a fresh look including a basic bob in a rich shade of brown. She was spotted at the premiere of HBO's 'Disappearing Acts' in 2000 looking casual yet feminine on the red carpet.

Set It Off
The Queen has come a long way since her 'Set It Off' days but decided to revisit them when she arrived at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles sporting cornrows to the back. The bumps in the front make it clear she's using extensions, but Latifah still pulled off the look with a flashy gold choker and some stunna' shades.
