Patti LaBelle is giving fans a new take on her relationship with Aretha Franklin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For years, speculation swirled about a rumored rift between the two R&B icons. Now, LaBelle is setting the record straight \u2014 and putting some r-e-s-p-e-c-t on her history with Franklin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhat were your conversations like with Aretha Franklin? What did you two bond over, talk about?\u201d Andy Cohen asked during a Sunday episode<\/a> of his show \u201cWatch What Happens Live.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Not surprisingly, given LaBelle\u2019s well-known love for cooking, she shared that the two connected over food. She also mentioned they shared a deep appreciation for their \u201cvoices\u201d and revealed that Franklin had even expressed interest in collaborating. Sadly, those plans never came to fruition due to Franklin\u2019s death in 2018 at age 76. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe just talked about life,\u201d LaBelle told Cohen. \u201cA lot of people think that we didn\u2019t get along, but we did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt is unclear from Ms. Franklin\u2019s face what she is really thinking of your performance,\u201d he remarked. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
