Patti LaBelle serves up some pie shade: ‘I was selling out before the YouTube video’
Patti LaBelle, master of sweet potato pies and...shade?

Sure, it’s very clear that Patti loves and appreciates James Wright Chanel’s viral video review of her pies. So naturally, a TMZ photog asked Patti if she planned to have James do “more stuff” for her.
“I did it myself,” Patti answered.
Oh.
A fan asked Patti to pose for a photo, leaving the TMZ photog an opportunity for a follow-up question:
“That guy had you sell out of pies in Walmart!” he yelled. “It’s amazing!”
The look on Patti’s face? Priceless.
“I was selling out before that guy did his wonderful video,” Patti said. “But it’s beautiful. Thank God. Isn’t it wonderful?”
Patti added a “Thank you James.”
Because you can’t serve up that shade without turning around and saying “Love you, James,” right?
Patti — we know what you’re doing here.
