However, the carjackers were lucky not to have engaged in a fight with the female kick boxer.

On 20 December, Latifah drove to a gas station on Fulton Industrial Boulevard and was pumping gas when a white BMW pulled up near her ride, according to reports.

The American rapper-actress was driving a 2015 Mercedes Benz S63.

Latifah, 46, didn’t realize what was happening until she heard her ignition start, and sighted someone zooming off in her car. It happened so fast.

The car was eventually recovered without any damage, her story can save people from such a terrible loss.

Latifah [full names Dana Elaine Owens] was also involved in a carjacking incident in 1995. Her boyfriend Sean Moon was shot during the robbery incident.

In 1996, the Grammy winner was arrested and charged for possessing a loaded handgun with marijuana.

The Los Angeles County Police also placed Latifah on three years probation for driving under the influence of alcohol in 2002.

Lancelot Jr., an elder brother to the queen of rap music, was killed in a 1992 bike accident. The two-wheeler was a gift from Latifah, who revealed in a 2006 interview that she still wears the motorcycle key around her neck in memory of the deceased.
