This is crazy cause she contributed to bad boy just as much as Biggie, Mase and etc. Also Patti Labelle went to visit Lil Kim and Oprah regularly wrote her letters and sent her books as well.

This makes me love Patti, Oprah and Marc Jacobs even more

She really rode for the men in Bad Boy and they continuously shitted on her, Lil Kim has been through so much, I’ll always love and respect her for her artistry and fashion impact as well

MUSIC: Happy Birthdays, Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight! GBN Celebrates Two Soul Legends On Their 80th

by Jeff Meier (FB: Jeff.Meier.90) Here at Good Black News, we’ve decided to have some fun and make up a new holiday. With Patti LaBelle (born May 24th) and her good friend and Gemini sister Gladys Knight (born May 28th) both turning 80 over this long weekend, we’re thinking the perfect date is May 26th. In much the same way that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays were lumped…
