MINNIE RIPPERTON: MAYA RUDOLPH

What Minnie Riperton did with her smash hit Lovin’ You (remember the ‘Maya’ at the end of the song?) during the ’70s? It should come as no surprise when Maya Rudolph, who inherited the mother’s ‘stage prowess,’ recreated the success, although she only known her for seven years.

They are together, and there’s no doubt about it. But you actually need a DNA test to distinguish them! Maya, regardless of her immensely impactful presence and talent, can’t really hit on the same notes as the mother, so she ends up helping people laugh. Definitely, her voice isn’t the real investment; it is her humor. Maya continues to elevate her career in comedy by appearing in various films, such as The Emoji Movie, 50 First Dates, and Life of the Party.
She also bagged the 2020 Primetime Emmy’s Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her stint at Saturday Night Live.
