The legendary Aretha Franklin is responding to rumors that she was arrested after she and iconic singer Patti LaBelle got into a fight! Find out what she had to say about the crazy rumor inside…
Aretha is not here for the foolery, y'all! The Queen is speaking out against the preposterous rumors (which we saw yesterday and laughed at) that she was arrested after a fight ensued between her and iconic singer Patti LaBelle.
The rumor originated from a satire site that said Aretha and Patti got into a fight after the supposed beef they had at the “Women of Soul” event at the White House. It was said that Aretha threw some shade at Patti during the concert. And soon after, at an unnamed R&B/Soul event in Atlanta on March 20th, Patti supposedly confronted Aretha, which resulted in an alleged brawl between to the two.
It was falsely reported that Ms. Patti was arrested by the Atlanta Police Department and charged with assault and battery. She was supposedly released on a $10,000 bond and had a court date on April 16th.
As foolish as this sounds, Aretha released a statement this morning denying the queens were involved in an epic queen fight saying:
“I’ve never heard anything crazier—regarding myself and Patti allegedly fighting on March 20, in Atlanta. On March 20, I was in New York City readying for my birthday patty (Sorry. LOL. Laughing at my typo error). I meant PARTY, which we all had one fabulous time. Patti and I are cool and we always have been. I enjoyed her at the White House. Classic Patti.
There you have it.
