In April 2003 she had breast reduction surgery. One of them - Connor - left this band early but the others keep the S Club legacy alive to this day under the name of S Club 8. Other recent movies Latifah has appeared in are Scary Movie 3, Barbershop 2: Back in Business and Taxi. A contest asking for children to join S Club 7 during a performance at Wembley arena resulted in 9 children forming another band, originally called S Club Juniors.

In 2003, she co-starred with Steve Martin in the marginally well received comedy Bringing Down the House, as a woman who is "mismatched" through a legal advice chat room with Martin's character. Spearitt went on to star in the movie Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, while Rachel Stevens has enjoyed several solo hits. In 2003, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Matron "Mama" Morton in the movie musical Chicago. In March 2002 Paul Cattermole, the eldest member of the band, announced he was leaving to join Skua, a nu metal band formed by his school-friends, though he remained with S Club 7 until June and continued to date fellow member Hannah Spearitt. The remaining six members stayed together under the name S Club until the release of their movie Seeing Double in April 2003, disbanding later the same month. In 1998, she made an album entitled Order in the Court. The series were retitled S Club 7 in Miami, S Club 7 in Miami, S Club 7 in Miami and Viva S Club. In 1996 she was arrested in possession of a small amount of marijuana and a gun; she was fined and sentenced to two years probation.

The program changed its name to reflect the location it was set in: Miami 7, LA 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club, set in Spain. From 1993 to 1998 Latifah starred on Living Single, a FOX sitcom; she also wrote and performed its theme music. The program was a sitcom based around the band members (who played themselves) living together and trying to become famous.

This debut was critically acclaimed as one of the best hip hop albums of all time and was followed by Nature of a Sista, another well-reviewed album. S Club 7 was a British pop band created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, who rose to fame via their own BBC television program. Local DJ Mark the 45 King heard a demo version of Latifah's single "Princess of the Posse" in 1988, gave the demo to Fab Five Freddy, who was then host of Yo!
