Just because she’s a celebrity doesn’t mean Jennifer Hudson is exempt from experiencing prejudice.

While the Oscar-winning actress and powerful singer has found huge success in such a competitive industry, The Voice coach can’t forget some occasions where she felt less than.

“There have been several situations where I get on a plane and [the air steward] assumes that I’m [meant to be] in the back of the plane,” Jennifer recalled in the February issue of Cosmopolitan UK. “That happens a lot. I’m like ‘No, my seat is up there [in first class], thank you.'”

In fact, some of the prejudice Jennifer experiences happens at her house.

“People also assume that my home belongs to my white driver, Charles. One time, I was having something moved into my house and they wanted to know where to put it. I said, ‘There.’ [The removal man] just stood there,” she recalled. “When Charles came in, he asked him, ‘So where would you like these things?’ Charles said, ‘She said she wanted it right there. You’re talking to the wrong person.'”

Jennifer continued, “Stuff like this happens in your own home! I defy all the odds being African American, living in a wealthy neighborhood and being a working mom. It’s too many foreign things in one person! It’s so ignorant. Race is just one of them. I face them all.”

In her wide-ranging interview with the publication, Jennifer also addressed the Harvey Weinstein scandal that continues to make headlines before the 2018 Golden Globes.

Like so many stars today, the actress is proud of the women coming forward and sharing their experiences.

“I hate that these things have happened, but I’m glad that women are taking a stand for themselves,” Jennifer explained. “They should have the right to be able to do that. And no one’s power should be able to take over someone else’s. That’s not cool.”

Jennifer’s full interview appears in the February 2018 issue of Cosmopolitan UK on sale today.

Nicki Minaj and Nas have called it quits, according to insiders who say that living in separate cities proved too challenging for the power couple.

TMZ reports that the relationship came to a close amicably, but that the rap superstars will not be hanging out as friends. Nevertheless, the two are still following each other on Instagram as of press time. 

The hip-hop power couple started dating at some point last year. In May, Nicki opened up about “sleepovers” with the New York icon and they celebrated Esco’s birthday together in September. That same month, they linked up for an ’80s-inspired photo shoot.

It seemed like the relationship was still going strong last month, when Nasty Nas celebrated Nicki as a “queen” in honor of her birthday. “Happy Birthday To The QUEEN OF NY / HIP HOP @nickiminaj,” he wrote.

Now, the multifaceted stars are set to continue their various solo projects. Nicki is currently crafting her next album, while Nas is set to focus on his Sweet Chick restaurant empire. He is also expected to release a long-awaited solo album at some point this year.

Solange reveals battle with nervous system disorder

Solange Knowles is suffering from a nervous system disorder that will make her unable to perform at South Africa’s Afropunk festival on New Year’s Eve.

The singer revealed on Instagram Wednesday that she has been battling an autonomic disorder over the last five months.

“A journey that hasn’t been easy on me,” she wrote.

Solange reveals she was diagnosed with an autonomic disorder five months ago.“Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all,” the “Cranes in the Sky” singer wrote.

“It’s a complicated diagnoses (sic), and I’m still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after,” she continued.

Solange did not share what type of autonomic disorder she was diagnosed with, but people with autonomic disorders have trouble regulating heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and body temperature as the disorder is a dysfunction in the nervous system.

Autonomic nervous system disorders could also be the result of another disease, like Parkinson’s, cancer, autoimmune diseases, alcohol abuse or diabetes, according to NYU Langone.

Symptoms include dizziness or fainting upon standing up, abnormal sweating, urinary problems, vision problems and difficulties with digestion such as loss of appetite or diarrhea and constipation.

The 31-year-old younger sister of Beyoncé has backed out of at least two shows in the past year, including one in November at Florida State University’s homecoming show in which she cited a medical condition.

“Due to a medical condition, Solange is unfortunately prohibited from live performances until further notice by her team of doctors,” the statement at the time read. “On behalf of Solange and the Saint Heron family, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused and thank you for your continued support.”

In July, she headlined London’s Lovebox Festival and Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival within 48 hours of each after breaking out of the hospital.

“I was in hospital this morning,” she told the crowd, according to reports. “I was in hospital for three days. After my show I had a serious episode and was told I shouldn’t perform. And so I broke out of that b—h this morning.”

She also once passed out at the airport in 2009 and was hospitalized, but credited it to dehydration.

She later tweeted about it, writing “guess I passed out,” but it is unclear if she was suffering from the autonomic disorder at the time.

On Instagram Friday, she wrote that she wasn’t sure “what exactly or how much” she wanted to share.

“As a part of the self care that I’ve tried to encourage this past year, it needs to start with myself,” she wrote. “And I’m looking forward to doing a better job of this 2018.”
