Donald Trump about to get mad! Lol
All this after her death…I don’t understand why she didn’t deserve it when she was alive
Should’ve received it while she was healthy and able to accept it or at least before she passed 🙃
Did they give this award at her funeral this morning, cause i know its still going on
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Well Deserved
I sing, say a little prayer for you, in the shower at least twice a week. she deserves it❤️
Wtf type of award is this
So annoying to award these icons after they have passed…im over it…she has been great most of her life on this earth..and we award after her death…smh
She dead 🙄 what she supposed to do with it now?🤔
What’s the point of giving dead people awards?
Why they didn’t give it to her when she was alive?
Miss Aretha I think I just passed her
Art and music is more valuable after your dead
Yesss still alive in spirit!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Why wouldn’t they have given this to her when she could enjoy it, while she was alive she made the same contributions and broke down barriers like🤦🏽♀️
