Despite not releasing a new album in the past eight years, she has been actively engaged in prominent films as an actress, notably Ocean’s 8. She continues to actively manage operations despite her pregnancy. She received an invitation to play the song “Lift Me Up,” the music of the film “Wakanda Forever,” at the 2023 Oscars.
