With the Fourth of July just around the corner, Queen Latifah is gearing up to host America250 — a block party at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Featuring performances from Latifah, Chris Stapleton and The Smashing Pumpkins, thousands will gather to celebrate the nation and donate to charitable organizations.
In an exclusive interview with Parade, Latifah spoke with us from the Coliseum to share a sneak peek at what fans can expect from this Fourth of July party.
“I think [America250 will be] a good time to be a good person, do good things, look out for each other [and] be good neighbors to each other on a huge holiday that we all celebrate,” she said. “This is actually a place to not just party, but party for a good cause. Party for a good reason with people you want to dance with and hang with, and help out other people at the same time.”
In addition to hosting the party and concert, Latifah will also be performing. While she’s still figuring out what genre she wants to do, she said she can guarantee that “there will be hip-hop.”
With America250 on the horizon, Latifah is also preparing to release new music for the first time in nearly 17 years.
“It’s time to put this [music] out right now,” Latifah said. “It’s time to drop this. I think I’m going to have to stop procrastinating and put out some new music as soon as possible.”
As Latifah prepares to step into this next chapter, she recently announced that she’ll be making her debut on The Voice as a coach this September. She said she decided to join the show after she “prayed real good about it.”
“It’s really not about Queen Latifah,” she said. “It’s about that artist, that 90 seconds [on The Voice], and hopefully being able to do something that makes me turn the chair.”
Latifah said she’ll be there to pass on what she’s learned to new artists, and hopes she can connect with whoever ends up on her team.
“I think artists need to make art,” Latifah said. “Make what you want to make. Make what makes you feel good in your spirit. Don’t worry about what everybody else is doing. … Everyone needs to tell their stories.”
Tickets for America250, hosted by Latifah, are available now for $17.76. Find out more at America250.org.
