Jada Pinkett chokes up while expressing her love for Queen Latifah.
A loving friend is someone to lean on, as Jada Pinkett Smith experienced first hand.
While presenting Queen Latifah with the Power Award at the third annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon, Pinkett Smith became choked up over the recent passing of her father, who succumbed to a heart attack.
"My father died last week, and I'm flying tomorrow to bury him," said Pinkett Smith, 38. "But I wanted to come because when those types of losses happen a lot of things get illuminated and your priorities fall in line."
She added, "When I think about Latifah I think about a woman who makes me feel loved. She can sit in the throne of my soul and just be there with me. She makes me laugh."
Unable to continue her speech due to a heavy flow of tears, Pinkett Smith found herself on stage alone and unable to speak – until Latifah came up to stand beside her.
"This is what I'm talking about," Pinkett Smith, said, picking up her introduction. "I don't see her a lot, but she's my girl."

Hmmm she must be real close to Queen Lick-tifah
I feel her on that it know it was hard for her to speak with all of the stress of losing a parent and all that comes with it-I've been through it myself recently, my heart goes out to Jada and her family.
Don;t be stupid, the emotion was more about the loss of her father.
it's wonderful to have good friends. everyone should be so lucky. but what does "sit in the throne of my soul" mean?
Damn, she just lost her daddy. That's gotta be difficult.
thats bcuz they are both carpet munchers..
Not speculation. lol
I feel for Jada loss my father last year and the pain is still so new even read about loosing her father has brought tears to my eyes
why when Queen latifah is mentioned someone always have to mention "she is a lesbian".. If she came out the closet what that change anybody's life? and what are you doing behind closed doors??
there is one typo, in that description, its KIng latifa.
@ 1:26 pm. I was waiting for such a comment. So we called her out and you respond with "If she came out the closet what that change anybody's life?" It doesn't make me a difference but you women are too quick to say this guy is gay or that guy is bi, it pathetic, you can dish it but not take it. But I would never give it to you or a guy, i ABHOR THE WHOLE SEX THING. cAN'T STAND WOMEN BUT AM NOT INTO GUYS.
