“I know y’all wanna know, who does my hair. Who gets this color so right? Oh my God, who is she?” The U.N.I.T.Y. rapper teased. “Well, there she is,” panning the camera to her hairstylist. “The enigma. Iasia Merriweather.”

Iasia has worked with Queen Latifah on projects such as Just Wright,Girls Trip, Bessie, and more recently The Equalizer.
