“That wig is coming home with me,” Ackie said of her favorite legendary lacefront.
“I’m taking it, I’m putting it in my bag.
I live in London, you could’t tell me nothing.”

Behind every great diva is a great wig.
And perhaps there’s no better diva with better wigs thanWhitney Houston.
At least that’s the number Ackie quoted when EWfirst spoke to her about becoming Houston.
He was like, ‘Let me see, because they might need it for something.’
And I was like, “I don’t care what they need it for.
That wig is coming home with me!
I’m taking it, I’m putting it in my bag.
I live in London, you’re free to’t tell me nothing.'”
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebodyopens Friday in theaters.
