Tarji P. Henson might have conflicted feelings about how much Cookie's taken over her life, but she sang about some of the perks of playing her Empire character on Saturday Night Live.
For one, "white people know who I am now."
Henson showed off some serious vocal chops as she sang about "making it" after 20 years in show business. (Sample line: "I could have passed out samples in a grocery store / On Law and Order I could have played a corpse.")
