*Yep, there’s no doubt that Ariana Grande is a hot little number. We mean that literally. Yes, she’s short in stature and she’s real easy to look at. But most of all, she’s hot as fire on the music charts doing this generation’s version of R&B. And that’s a problem with some folks who feel the singer, who is white (and not even Latina), is appropriating black music and culture. In other words, she’s a culture vulture!
That doesn’t seem to bother 74-year-old Patti LaBelle of all people. LaBelle is known as one of the most soulful singers ever. So when Patti told Grande, 25, that she was “and a bag of chips,” a lot of people took notice and lot people aren’t quite comfortable with those words coming out of LaBelle’s mouth.
LaBelle made the comments recently as she was asked to introduce Grande at this year’s “Woman of the Year” at Billboard’s Women in Music Awards. Grande earned the award after a year of personal traumas and career victories.
