Girl you have a Naomi Campbell avi. Sit in your lane. But not surprised a Naomi fan would support a woman like Aretha Franklin. 

Ou. This is tea. 

Girl you have Diana Ross and Taylor Swift in your signature. And Ricky Martin 

 

Are you forreal talking about Aretha Franklin?

 

Aretha could care less about Tina Turner and vice versa. You made up most of the stuff in that post about Aretha.

What's wrong about Diana Ross and Taylor Swift? They never physically assaulted someone like miss Campbell. And why would I made up. The stories come from a thread on Lipstick Alley.

We love to see when talent wins and ends mediocrity

This is sub-par trolling.

 

Aretha was not just a legendary vocalist, but musician, arranger and music producer.

 

She covered and re-popularised so many classics, taking them to greater heights.

 

Otis Redding's Respect and Dionne Warwick's I Say a Little Prayer being the most obvious examples.

Girl maybe we are going off topic here but she literally slept with Ike Turner and tried to sabotage Private Dancer era initially and she said that she never met Tina when they where photographed together at the essence awards in 1993.

And it was confirmed by her own sister that she wanted to sabotage the other women. I didn't watch the biopic you're referring to.

I read all these on a lipstick alley thread which had the all the tea on her.

It’s basically 2 different charts.

 

The chart used to be based on sales from stores which sold mainly R&B & Hip Hop albums and thus mainly reported sales from the black community, it didn’t take into account overall sales until 2009 and obviously Whitney’s albums sold so much due to support from white people. 

 

If the chart was the same as it is now The Bodyguard would’ve spent like 30-40 weeks at #1.

legend

Damn, didn't know all that tea from Ms Franklin before opening this thread. 

 

Anyways, congrats to SZA, at this point it's almost safe to say she's shaping up to be a legend.
