Mo’Nique has graced millions of screens over the years since hitting the entertainment industry in the late 1990s. The actress first witnessed a claim to fame for her role as Nicole “Nikki” Parker in “Moesha” and its spinoff “The Parkers.”

The clip continues with Mo’Nique placing her hand in front of the camera.
As she removes her hand, the video then transitions to another scene of Mo’Nique reappearing in the frame. This time, the 54-year-old is wearing a long-sleeved black dress and a downward hairdo. The recording ends with Mo’Nique walking off camera.
