Don’t let these pictures fool you, Etta James may look like she’s digging Beyonce, but the truth is, Etta got drunk on a pitcher of Hatorade and bagged on Beyonce for singing her song, At Last, at the Obama Inauguration.
“I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped,” James told an audience at the Paramount Theatre, sarcastically calling her “The great Beyoncé.”
James didn’t finish there.
“I can’t stand Beyoncé,” she spit out on an audio clip posted on Allhiphop.com, adding that Beyoncé “had no business … singing my song that I been singing forever.”
Two weeks ago, James’ son told the Daily News his mom, who has suffered health setbacks after gastric bypass surgery, was moved by the performance.
“You know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears?” she asked the audience. “He ain’t my President.”
Does Hatorade have a lot of fiber in it? I’m just sayin’, woman seems crazy and old.
