Ghostface Killah is a legendary MC, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get starstruck himself — including recently when he ran into Nia Long.
On Thursday (July 6), the Wu-Tang Clan member took to Instagram and posted a photo of him and the veteran actress embracing for a hug at a dimly lit event.

“My Old Crush gave me a Hug …. shout out to @iamnialong,” Ghostface captioned the post.
Fans couldn’t help themselves in the comments section, as they referenced a line dedicated to Nia Long from Ghostface’s 2000 Supreme Clientele interlude, “Who Would You Fuck.”

On the song, Ghostface can be heard talking to other men about which female celebrities he would like to sleep with. Towards the end, he chose between Halle Berry and Nia Long.
“Nia or Halle Berry, though? Yeah, now you talkin’ ’bout some primetime!” he says on the shit-talking track.

Ghostface also threw in a bar about the Friday star on his 2001 record, “The Hilton,” featuring his rap brethren Raekwon.
“Glittered out, stout face, tec, Rae up in the Hilton/ Heard Nia Long is in the building,” he rapped on the Bulletproof Wallets cut.
Nia Long has been a coveted figure in the world of Hip Hop for decades. Rappers including JAY-Z, Kanye West, A$AP Ferg, and more have all paid homage to her in their lyrics.
In October 2022, Cam’ron slid into the 52-year-old’s DMs on Instagram after her then-fiancé Ime Udoka’s alleged infidelity.

“Hey stink. I was giving you some time to yourself till I reached out,” Cam’s romantic message began. “Your perseverance as a strong black woman through this turbulent time has been something to behold.
“You shouldn’t be taken advantage of and exploited as you did nothing to deserve this. Especially all over these sports networks. You’re bigger and better then [sic] that. You’re a queen, and by the way I’m a king. Together we can achieve the greatness we were both destine [sic] for as a couple.”
He continued: “As I sit here sipping gazpacho and watching ‘the best man’ I was inspired to reach out, because that’s what I am the best man for you!! Hope to hear from you soon my Mi- amor or should I say ‘Ni-amour,'” before signing off with a series of love heart emojis.
Prior to Cam’ron’s overture, J. Cole trended on social media amid the cheating scandal due to him previously name-dropping Long on his 2014 song “No Role Modelz.”

“My only regret was too young for Lisa Bonet/ My only regret was too young for Nia Long,” he rapped on the 2014 Forest Hills Drive track.
