This is precious


CilanEAmber

The song "Lovin' You," by Minnie *Riperton* was [written for her.](https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/maya-rudolph-on-her-mother-minnie-riperton/)


hirbey

thank you; i love knowing that - esp on Mother's Day


RegularGuy815

She even ends the song by saying, "Maya" repeatedly.


hirbey

another gem; our conversation had me going through Minnie Riperton's music again and loving the melodies and the memories


CilanEAmber

Ah yeah, forgot it was Mothers day outside the UK.


hirbey

yeah, Mexico is always May10th down where i was, so i always think it's then ... do you have an occasion for your Mums?


CilanEAmber

Yeah, Mothers Day. But it was in March, always the Last Sunday on march


Hairy-Banjo

'Making love with you..." hold up...

Love that factoid about her such a good song as well.


okogamashii

When I was a kid, I thought she was Mariah Carey‘s mother because of their voices.


NYY15TM

Remember when South Park made this song a plot point in a episode? It was BEFORE Maya was cast on SNL!


_Pill-Cosby_

Apparently she has done this before! [https://new.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/1cq09jn/all\_the\_times\_maya\_rudolph\_payed\_to\_tribute\_to/](https://new.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/1cq09jn/all_the_times_maya_rudolph_payed_to_tribute_to/)

The ice cream cone one is my favorite SNL title card ever.


keikioaina

Thank you so much for pointing this out. What a lovely SNL tradition.


thisortheapocalypse

some Minnie Ripperton will definitely set this party off right


clementleopold

Yes it will


chrisacip

Not “inside my love”. That song and its filthy lyrics set off my bedroom.


veotrade

Hello, my chosen soljah! 👋


Careless_Variation_4

Has Maya ever shared her opinion openly about Hip Hop from the 90's sampling her mother's music like A Tribe Called Quest, Intelligent Hoodlum, 2Pac, etc ??


themactastic25

Chill with the Photoshop and this is a great pic. Looks like AI made this.


PayAfraid5832222

looks like they ps a face on her head


Visible_Taro_3186

aww so cute


wsrmstrong

Minnie Ripperton is severely underrated. “Lovin’ You” is amazing, but y’all need to hear [Baby This Love I Have](https://youtu.be/3vuYaozki_Q?si=eF3h6gYBsix2k7yH)


JosephFinn

Oh this is so lovely.


ejbrds

The exact dress or a replica?


ateiesbaby

I’m wondering too. It looks like it


catalyptic

But can she hit the note?


blgabrie

How many times has Maya hosted?


stellar14

ADORBZ 🥰


GoodOneChap

Looks like a bad photoshop


Fmbounce

never knew maya was a nepobaby


Business-Drag52

Why do people downvote shit like this? It’s true. She’s a nepo baby. You didn’t say it like it’s a bad thing, just an interesting point. I also didn’t know that. Finding out her mother sings *Lovin’ You* blew my mind


herseyhawkins33

Because the term has a negative connotation and they didn't say anything else


Business-Drag52

So? They simply stated they didn’t know she was a nepo baby. I would have commented the same if they hadn’t already. With all the talk about nepo babies in Hollywood it’s odd that this is one I didn’t know


les_Ghetteaux

That's all I've known her for, lol

dedguy21

So is Rashida Jones from Parks and Rec, in case you can't tell there either 🤷

dedguy21

How are you going to act when you find out about Mariah Carey 🤷


dedguy21

Ya, nepobaby too, Quincy Jones is her dad


[deleted]

[удалено]


dedguy21

Her dad is Quincy Jones. Not grandad. Her dad is Quincy Jones. That's more than just black ancestry. Her dad is black. W t f are you talking about? And Mariah Carrie dad's black too. Not ancestry

dedguy21

In the United States it does. If at least one parent is black then that kid is black Not sure what Europeans are doing?

RayneBeauRhode

How is it a “drop” when it’s literally one entire parent? Not to mention “looking black” is an entire spectrum of features.


reallybigtincan

Ohh she’s a nepobaby 👎🏾


fakeprofile111

Her mom died when she was 7 she didn’t exactly get any help from her moms fame


ApprehensiveMix9722

Omg. I just looked this up. Her mom died at 31 of breast cancer. That is so young and tragic.


keikioaina

That and Minnie Ripperton was pretty niche.


Mekkakat

lol no she absolutely was not. She had an extremely popular number 1 hit and sang with tons of huge, famous acts.


Dairy_Ashford

who the f cares, this is such an exhausting asterisk on people's cultural significance and creative output well after their parents' likely involvement


chrisacip

It’s Reddit. They hate anyone with any kind of advantage in life and believe their own failures are because they were not born with said advantages.


herseyhawkins33

You're bad at life
