Aretha Franklin Chimes In on Fantasia's Boycott


Last week Fantasia admitted she boycotted the Grammy Awards [and her first win] because she wasn't invited to sing during the Aretha Franklin Grammy Tribute [click here if you missed that].

Somebody asked Aretha how she felt about Fantasia's boycott and basically she said 'Tasisa need to get over it...

Aretha tells USA Today
"I was sorry to hear that Fantasia was upset because she did not get the opportunity to participate in my Grammy Tribute this year. I recall that in the past, Fantasia participated in both my MusicCares Person of the Year Tribute and my United Negro College Fund Tribute. Fantasia is still young in the business and although we all love and appreciate her she must understand that in this business of show business she will not always get to participate in everything she would like participate in. I'm sure it was not an intentional omission. I will see Fantasia over the summer here in Detroit."
