In the teaser of her episode, we find Ms. Patti cracking jokes about weed and even referencing lyrics from Noreaga's 1998 classic, "Superthug." Of course, that was met with resounding enthusiasm.

Judging from the trailer, viewers will also learn more about LaBelle's friendship with Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross allegedly stealing clothes, her thoughts on Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP," and why she wanted to sit down with Drink Champs. 

"I cleansed myself today on this show. I said a lot of things I shouldn't have, but I don't care," said LaBelle. This is about to be one for the books, so check out the teaser below.
