Big Freedia remembers the time Patti LaBelle made her fried chicken
The story of how icons Big Freedia and Patti LaBelle first met.
A lot of the stories told on The FADER’s Remember That Time series recount the weird, wild, abject, and plain stupid — from the time the Spice Girls peed in Elton John’s pot plant to the night Omar Apollo nearly got robbed. But today’s Remember That Time is something special indeed, and a much-needed moment of lightness this week: Big Freedia telling us about the time Ms. Patti LaBelle — Philly icon, musical god — came to one of her shows, and brought her a batch of homemade fried chicken. Legends, as they say, stan for legends. Watch Big Freedia’s Remember That Time video above, and watch the rest of the series here.
And for those who want to party with Big Freedia, virtually, she'll be hosting a live party on her Facebook and Instagram every Friday starting 3/20. Fans will also be able to donate to the Greater New Orleans Disaster Relief Fund. More info below.
