I can’t believe how many video I have watched of ms Aretha Franklin since she died, saddened I didn’t get a chance to me her in person RiP

[@reneesydnor-henry4538]

[@noweaponsjackson2421]

There are some disrespectful videos about her too. Mag bitter truth channel calling her a transgender. She had too much in the chest area to be a transgender. RIP to the Queen of Soul Aretha Louise Franklin
