LOL, all tea all shade! Patti LaBelle is a diva in more ways than one, but she doesn’t see it that way. In fact, the “Somebody Loves You Baby” songstress despises the term and what it now stands for.
“‘Diva’ is a word that I wouldn’t wanna call myself because it’s so loosely used. It’s not cute anymore,” the longtime musician says in an interview with PrideSource. In Ms. LaBelle’s opinion, these modern day singers can’t even sing, so they should not be smelling themselves. “…all these little heifers who can’t sing are called divas! It doesn’t mean anything to me…,” she says. THEY CAN’T SING!
Patti wants to and will remain on top, it would seem. Honey, you betta werk!

Remember, all great things in the gallery!
But it [DIVA] used to be a respectable term at some point.
Well, for opera singers, and for ladies who earned it, but that was way, way back when. Now you can look up to them, but you might not see what you wanna see. A hot mess! People who are doing it and doing it with about 40 people on stage with them to hide their pitifulness – that’s not a word, but you know what I mean.
