Lola Brooke has rather the follower in Taraji P. Henson– and a lot more so after the starlet was name-dropped in among her tracks.
On 2023’s “You” with Bryson Tiller, Lola raps, “Bitch, I go Taraji for my baby boy!” The line recommendations the cult traditional Infant Young boy, where Taraji celebrities contrary Tyrese in the John Singleton-directed movie.
The well-known starlet was inquired about the line while in the UK speaking with BBC 1xtra’s Nadia Jae lately, and she fasted to spurt regarding just how much she enjoys the pint-sized Brooklyn raptress.
“I was just scrolling and, you know, I’m a hip-hop head and I love female MCs and I always post them,” Taraji started. “I knew about Lola because I’ve seen the award ceremonies. I love the song. And I love her voice; it’s nostalgic for me. She reminds me of the female MCs back in the day – Lil Kim, Foxy Brown. She has that tone. And I was like, ‘Who is like young girl?’
“So I’ve been watching her and then she dropped that song and I was scrolling and I was like, ‘Wait! What did she say?!’ And she didn’t say [my Baby Boy character name] Yvette – she said my name!
“And so I reposted it and she reached out to me in the DM and she was like, ‘Oh wow, oh my God. You’re so iconic. This means so much to me!’ I said, ‘Baby girl, just keep doing it. I got you. I’m a fan!’”

Lola Brooke isn’t the just one to state Taraji P. Henson in a tune since late. As a matter of fact, the starlet had a whole track devoted to her by Los Angeles-based rap artist C5 lately, following her weepy admission regarding just how much she’s needed to function to survive and handle her funds while being paid a portion of what a few of her peers make.
“I’m just tired of working so hard being gracious at what I do and getting paid a fraction of the cost. I’m tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over,” she claimed on SiriusXM last month. “I hear people go, ‘You work alot.’ I have to. The math ain’t mathing. When you start working you have a team and big bills come with what you do.
“When you hear someone saying ‘Such and such made $10 million.’ That didn’t make it to their account. Know that off the top Uncle Sam is getting 50 percent. Do the math now we have $5 million. Your team is getting 30 percent off of what you gross not what Uncle Sam took. Now, do the math. It seems whenever I break a glass ceiling and it’s time to renegotiate I’m at the bottom again.”
Soon after, C5 made a devotion track with a going along with video clip, and Taraji was full of appreciation as she reposted it to her web page.
“Young man the image you are displaying is sooooo powerful!!!” she composed. “What an amazing heart you have and you are passing your beautiful humanity down to your baby. What an awesome dad/human you are. I am so grateful for your love and support. MIGHT I ADD YOU GOT BARZZZZZ. I adore you and may God bless and protect you and your beautiful family always. You made my heart smile DEEP!!!”
