Cicely Tyson | Lenny Kravitz – Roxie Roker’s Son

Not many may know that Lenny Kravitz’s mom, Roxie Roker, is the late Cicely Tyson’s best friend, so it’s no surprise that the latter has become the singer-songwriter’s godmother. The two shared an extraordinary bond, as the actress did everything to protect and support him whenever needed.

Lenny credits both his mom and godmother for being “kindred spirits,” calling them sisters. Tyson had been a massive part of his life, and the 56-year-old performer had nothing but love for the former model. In his special tribute for her, he called his late godmother the “Black queen,” who showed everyone how beautiful Black is. The love they had would always be tremendous. Lenny was also thankful that they had been on earth at the same time, calling himself blessed for receiving the love that only Tyson could give. Though she’s now gone, Lenny swore he would always love her.
