Queen Latifah teased that she will be dropping new music soon, ahead of her upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Fresh off hosting the 2026 American Music Awards on Monday (May 25), the actress and rapper hinted that she would break her 16-year album hiatus this year.

"Note taken, I'm going to drop some music," the musician, who released her last album, Persona, in 2009, told PEOPLE on Tuesday (May 26). "You know, I got all this music at home, and I forget y'all haven't heard it. I need to let somebody else hear it other than my friends. Get ready for the many genres that it will come out in. It's time."

In November, the Last Holiday star will be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, along with other music legends like Phil Collins, Luther Vandross, Wu-Tang Clan and Billy Idol.

"It's really almost odd to be inducted with people who are such influences and such heroes in my mind, but such a huge, huge honor to be in anything that's a class with them," she gushed to the outlet.

Earlier this month, NBC revealed that the Chicago actress also joined the panel of the upcoming 30th season of The Voice, in her coaching debut.
