Aretha Franklin Blasts Dionne Warwick Over Whitney Houston

Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick are caught up in a vicious feud — with the Queen of Soul still furious over how she was treated during the funeral of Dionne's tragic cousin Whitney Houston!

Now the newly-slim Aretha has gone public about the bad blood between the two legends, complaining that Dionne “blatantly lied” while telling the crowd at Whitney's funeral that Aretha was missing the burial of her own goddaughter.

Aretha admitted that she missed the troubled singer's 2012 funeral in New Jersey due to "swollen feet," although fans noticed she was able to perform that evening at Radio City Music Hall. Five years later, though, Aretha is still fuming that Dionne made her look bad!

The angry missive notes that, despite rumors, Aretha was never Whitney's godmother. Aretha also makes it clear that she hasn't forgiven the "Walk On By" singer — and is only speaking out after Dionne tried to patch things up at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival.

“She said, ‘Give me a hug,’ ” Aretha claims. “I said, ‘Oh, hell no. You couldn’t be serious.’” The soul legend then added: “I don’t think that Dionne has ever liked me.” Meanwhile, her rival's reps have said their client declines to “dignify a response” to Aretha's angry rant.
