She said herself that she didn't think she would ever be considered an icon.And I agree.
But just a veteran?Come on now.Adina Howard, Monifah, even INOJ
. are vetetans.She has No. 1 in 3 different decades, albeit R&B/Hip Hop.And certified albums in 3 different decades.Something pop icons Britney or Christina havent done yet(Not trying to put her near them any way).I think just a veteran is a weak classification.
