Aretha Franklin was a queen that was loved and adored by all other queens.
The late Queen of Soul’s forthcoming biopic, ‘Respect’, in which RnB powerhouse Jennifer Hudson is seen stepping-into the shoes of the songstress to portray her on celluloid, has garnered quite an interest among viewers.
With Hudson’s repertoire, as an Oscar and Grammy winning talent, enough bets are placed upon her – to pull off the role of one of music’s most monumental figures in film.
The latest reaction to the film’s power-packed trailer, released last month, comes from some of the most famous drag queens in showbiz, and it serves as the perfect reminder to her influence and impact across the spectrum.
Alyssa Edwards, Latrice Royale INC., Nina West, and Shea Couleé react to Hudson’s upcoming ambitious project and the reactions pretty much sum-up how we all feel about this exciting new project.
Watch their reactions below:
Clearly, Queen Ree was loved by everyone!
Respect is scheduled to be released on 13 August 2021.
