9 Of Aretha Franklin’s Most Diva-ish Moments
Dionne Warwick
During Whitney Houston’s funeral, Dionne Warwick stood up and called Aretha Franklin Whitney Houston’s godmother. But that wasn’t the case and instead of chalking it up to grief and letting it slide, Franklin sent a fax to the Associated Press correcting the error. You can get the specifics about the story, here but Franklin essentially said, “She blatantly lied on me … fully well knowing what she was doing.” And when Warwick tried to move on like nothing happened, Franklin let her know that she was still on her sh*t list. “She said, ‘Give me a hug.’ I said, ‘Oh hell no. You couldn’t be serious,’” Franklin said.
