Aretha Franklin expressed her outrage at being snubbed by Beyoncé during the 50th Annual Grammy Awards telecast last Sunday. Ms. Franklin took offense to Beyoncé introducing Tina Turner as “the queen” during their duet together.
Here’s what the legendary queen of soul had to say about Beyoncé’s royal snub:
“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. In addition to that, I thank the Grammy’s and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway.” (Source)
