Patti LaBelle Invited James Wright To Thanksgiving Dinner For Fresh Sweet
While demand for the $3.48 pies has emptied shelves in Wal-Mart warehouses across the country, sellers on websites such as eBay are asking as much as $50 each for them.
The video logged an astounding 8.5 million views, earning the singer a phone call from Labelle and appearances on several television talk shows. But, this week, according to Rollingout Magazine, LaBelle has finally admitted and came to terms with the fact the Wright played a big role in the recent rise in her bank account. “God has blessed me with another angel”, she said.
And because it just so happened to be James’ birthday as well, Patti led her guests in a stunning rendition of “Happy Birthday” that flawlessly turned into an a cappella ode to Tupac and Dr. Dre’s “California Love”. “My new friend, James Wright, did this fierce video and took the pie over the top, and people are losing their minds about the pie”. “She went on to say that they’re spending Thanksgiving together and she is going to cook for him”.
Labelle had a birthday cake on tap and gifted wright with a Louis Vuitton bag.
We’re on the lookout for Patti LaBelle sweet potato pies.
Hopefully, LaBelle will do a little more than cook Wright a handsome Thanksgiving dinner.
After the video was posted online, the pies sold at a rate of one per second for 72 hours.
