Queen Latifah Visits the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil

Queen Latifah poses for photos with Eboni Nichols while visiting the Christ the Redeemer statue along with some friends last week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The group of pals took tons of pictures with the statue and Queen even got down on the ground to snap some cool angles.

It was announced last month that Queen will be starring in Bessie, a new biopic on HBO about the late single Bessie Smith.

“I was just blown away,” she said recently about the first time she heard the singer. “I could hear her voice in so many people who came after her … If there was a Bessie Smith alive today, she’d blow everyone else out of the water. I could never match her true ability.”
