Traditional marketing campaigns for COVID-19 vaccines have enlisted high-profile celebrities like Queen Latifah and John Legend to target specific demographics. Queen Latifah's Pfizer-sponsored message focuses on racial disparities in clinical research, while John Legend partnered with Walgreens for the "Our Shot" campaign. Critics argue these polished, piano-backed advertisements are less effective than the spontaneous-feeling content produced by younger influencers.

The Queen Latifah Show featured a discussion on the legality of "upskirting" photos taken in public places. A Massachusetts court recently ruled that such actions are not illegal under existing peeping Tom laws because there is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in public. Queen Latifah and legal experts argue that laws must be updated to account for the ubiquity of smartphone cameras and modern privacy concerns.

"My Job Chart" is identified as a native advertisement for Capital One, disguised as a tool to teach children financial responsibility. The platform allows kids to earn points for chores, which can then be used to purchase products or manage "debit cards for kids." Critics argue the service is designed to groom children into becoming "debt slaves" for major financial institutions.

The Obama administration hosted a "Memphis Soul" musical event at the White House featuring Justin Timberlake, Queen Latifah, and Cyndi Lauper. The event, televised on PBS, is criticized as being "tone-deaf" given the cancellation of public White House tours due to the sequester. President Obama joked during the event about his own reputation as an Al Green impersonator.
