I met Patti way back in 85 on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. I was 10 years old and I asked her for an autograph. She said "I don't have pen and paper sugar but come here" She gave me one of the warmest hugs I can remember. A moment I will never forget. What a classy queen.

I attended undergraduate school at Florida State with Ms. Labelle's Goddaughter. Labelle performed in the auditorium that night. PATTI, NONA and SARA DASH performed a few songs from their last album together ❤️! They sang four 🎵 🎶 and it was PHENOMENAL! It was a small group, less than 10 people. I LOVE ❤️ LABELLE! Patti Labelle and the Blue Bells. Phenomenal group! Iconic and classic! True Queen!

I skipped passed this interview for a while because, I was like, 2 hours is a lot and it's hard for me to find that kind of time. 5am and I was actually going to the gym but, decided to start listening anyway. I just finished the entire interview and never left for the gym! Once I started watching, I couldn't stop! Patti is so fkn AMAZING!!!!

[@materialgirlaka2031]

Patti is such a gem. She is so humble, fun, and has a good spirit. This was such a fun and beautiful episode.

[@MarionJordan11]

It’s crazy how many people she met and inspired before they became famous. Love love love Patti

[@ironwill6859]

I Love Patti LaBelle! 78! Her energy is unbelievable!

[@denisemorant1109]

I love Patti, she’s a legend. Her singing gives me the goosebumps and makes me tear up.

[@derrellarthur4604]

Auntie Patti is top 3 of all time. Her, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston. Nobody and I mean nobody got pipes like them. Their voices are incredible and so powerful.

[@fightingdreamer8681]

That's a solid and incredible top 3 right there 🔥

[@SugaSlimWorld]

That part !!!

[@dirrickrobinson3731]

And The 4th Is Betty Wright In My Book!!!!100

[@conversationswithcory3730]

Anita Baker, Betty wright, Stephanie mills

[@DDot-im3jr]

@@conversationswithcory3730 Stephanie Mills got them vocals 🎤🎙️ 🎶🎵

[@carltonphillips7680]

Couldn't do nothing but smile through this whole interview. Even while she was crying, I was tearing up while still smiling. Out of all the interviews I think that this was the best one yet!

[@armybarbee605]

Yes she is a freaking amazing

[@816BIGB]

Bruh I teared up too. Man so much love and energy from this interview.

[@truthbetold1074]

me too..so much love it comes right through the screen...:)

[@BrandonSmith-rb1bf]

I think this was the best one also. I cant believe they got PATTI LABELLE! Congrats to "Drink Champs"

[@MyMrharris]

Nore got Patti expressing herself in a true vulnerable form. Seeing her cry and realizing she's human and not just a mega singing superstar hit me different. My momma loves this woman. She's a real queen and Nore is the podcast GOAT for this one.

[@bmw3842]

Patti is the real deal.She attended to Luther after his stroke and until his passing .Patti lived at the hospital and the hospice .Patti reminds me of my mother who co owned a bed & breakfast and she would cook dinner for them and on the holidays .

[@Brunebella]

Omg I can’t believe Patti did Drink Champs! She’s such a legend I love her soo much. She is literally the culture’s grandma 😍🍾🌹💐

[@JayDaReactor]

This interview is so iconic in so many ways. Patti to me is class personified and the stories told on this episode are epic in nature

[@lepoetress]

She has so MANY good stories and I loved how they treated like a queen. She looked so fabulous and her hair and nails tho .... she looks good for 78

[@BaubBidon]

Why isn't anybody talking about this woman's age... she is freaking GORGEOUSNESS! There is no way she is 78 😲😲😲 Has anyone seen a 78 yr old woman? She fully functional, beautiful smile... relates to young peoples. Patti Labelle is the perfect example of what these celebs need to be. Just cam from watching the Irv Gotti and Jah interview... not even midway stopped, just to see my Patti. She is definitely loved 👑❤🖤💚 Drink Champs need to have their own flowers. Still going to finish the Irv Gotti interview, though the arrogance and homie's (Irv) ego is through the roof right about now.

[@Nika-xh1fc]

The way NORE blushed after Patti said “What What” was the best ❤️

[@cmillz6017]

Honestly her spirit, honesty and humor made this one of the best if not the best interviews drink champs have had! Made me love Patti even more

[@CRYPT02023]

Facts

[@quayabdullah4943]

exactly i did not know this interview was going to be this great im sitting here watching it over again she 78 and so hip and young and beautiful spirit best interview ever this def made up for the consequence interview

[@NoLineNoWait123AbC]

Them pies and shii she got in her name ain’t honest though😆them death cakes are silently slipping knickas out of here with diabetes and strokes.. Now that I added this level of negativity for balance,🫴🏾I bless the party, continue with the praise…let the crowd say “Amen”..

[@Multifacted_Brotha]

This making my Saturday!! I can't believe Patti is 78!! She looks great!

[@evandixon5796]

🤔 I'll still smash it 😆

[@rvggedroses]

So beautiful

[@stephard8824]

I've never seen NORE as well behaved 🤣🤣. This is an amazing episode

[@gabbymeow903]

I met Patti outside The Met here in Philly after Mariah’s show, she was surrounded by people and she seemed a little overwhelmed but she still made time to say hi and gave me a hug! I’ve loved Patti for as long as I can remember, that was a dream come true!!!

[@imsofancy4064]

Patti looks incredible! Aging like wine and still has an amazing voice. A true legend 👑🥂

[@gee.kay.4787]

She’s a legend, she’s an icon, and she IS THE MOMENT! 💐✨ Gems, we see each other ♊️

[@kitahall1867]

Big Gem right here! 6/9

[@chrisdeluca296]

Mrs. Patti is a very humble and loyalty woman. Everyone in the music industry need to be like her. She can touch hearts with her positive spiritual presents. One love Patti.

[@KevinETaylor]

Patti Labelle is just such a gracious and magnanimous soul. When Natalie Cole took sick the first time, she woke up in the hospital with PATTI holding her hand. They were sisters.

[@timmyggztv]

Patti LaBelle one of the greatest of all time this lady a legend for real

[@chefbri91]

The way Nore keeps saying "WOW" almost seems like he can't believe he got Patti! I love this!! 💘

[@jrmarshall120]

He cannot believe it??? We cannot believe it. You don't know how big this is for Drink Champs. I wouldn't be surprised if they will get Bono or Elton John in the future.

[@Tyme_flies]

I keep commenting because I'm having the time of my life. This is a ICONIC moment in time. Not just because Patti is on Drink Champs but she is actively drinking ,telling stories and having a good time. Just great . I bet ALL those people she mentioned are smiling down at her , chuckling to themselves. Lol

[@ALLtheABOVEable]

I saw Patti live in 2010 ..... She sounds exactly like she sounds on albums live. It was AMAZING

[@CorporateGOPACEO]

Her career stories are like fine wine.

[@dnicetrucklife2972]

Can’t lie the first 20 minutes of the show I cry because she is still here and doing it and so down to earth protest this Queen and keep her family and team cover in the blood of Jesus. I never wrote twice on anyone page before js

[@Gifted504]

I’m smiling so hard my cheeks are hurting!!!🤗😂 I love that this platform showed this legend this level of respect and love!!! She is one of a kind!!!
