There’s about to be a battle between two legendary soul-singing divas in your grocery store. After Patti LaBelle achieved runaway success with her line of sweet potato pie at Walmart, Aretha Franklin says she’s working on her own line of food products.
“Miss Patti’s gonna have to move that pie to the side,” the Queen of Soul told Detroit’s WDIV Local 4 news in an interview Wednesday.
Franklin revealed she’s working with a Phoenix-based company to produce savory dishes including chili, gumbo, and baked chicken and dressing. Pies aren’t on the menu — for now.
LaBelle has been selling her sweet potato pies at Walmart since last fall, and the dessert sold out right before Thanksgiving when Chicago singer James Wright Chanel posted a video of himself singing while reviewing the pie.
