Aretha Franklin is launching her own food brand that she says will rival Pattie LaBelle’s sweet potato pies.
‘The Queen of Soul’ said in an interview with Detroit’s Local News 4 Today that her pies and food products will rival those “other” sweet potato pies.
When asked if she’s tried one of LaBelle’s pies, Franklin said, “No, I haven’t, but Ms. Patti’s gonna have to move that pie to the side!”
Franklin says she’s already met with a food group based in Phoenix to start developing her line of cooked goods. Aside from pies, Franklin says she plans to market and sell chili, gumbo and baked chicken.
