Don’t Mess with Aretha–The Queen May Eat You

Goddamn Beyonce, don’t you know better than to piss off Aretha Franklin? Seriously you shouldn’t be messing with someone five times your size!

And what did Beyonce do to make Aretha steaming mad? Well remember her half-sung, half-spoken monologue she performed at the Grammy’s as an introduction for Tina Turner? Remember in her last line when she referred to Tina as “the Queen.” Yeah. As far as Aretha Franklin is concerned, she is the only Queen. And now she feels all disrespected by Beyonce.

“I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé. However, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy,” a clearly offended Franklin said in an unprompted statement issued by her publicist.

People may think Beyonce is “thick,” but she has nothing on Aretha. She better watch her ass!
