Etta James threatens to "a*s whip" Beyonce Knowles
Etta James has threatened to "a*s whip" Beyonce Knowles.
The legendary singer has slammed Beyonce's rendition of 'At Last' - a song
which Etta, 71, is famous for performing - at US President Barack Obama's
inauguration, claiming she "can't stand" the singer.
Speaking at a Seattle concert earlier this week, Etta said: "You guys know
your President, right? You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he
ain't my President, he might be yours, he ain't my President. You know that
woman he had singing for him, singing my song - she's going to get her a*s
whipped.
"The great Beyonce. I can't stand Beyonce! She has no business up there,
singing up there on a big ol' President day, singing my song that I've been
singing forever."
Etta was not the first person to sing the song, but her version is the best
known.
Beyonce - who portrayed Etta in her latest movie 'Cadillac Records' - was
asked to perform 'At Last' at the ceremony.
