Aretha Franklin Responds to Fantasia’s Tribute Whining: “Build a bridge. Get over it.”

Fantasia was very vocal about her displeasure in not being included in the Aretha Franklin tribute that took place for the Grammy’s. Since Aretha Franklin is her idol, Fantasia felt it appropriate that she be included in the tribute. Well, the lady herself, Aretha Franklin shared her thoughts with CNN. And they might surprise you.

“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.”
