Speaking of Aretha and her offspring, the “Chain of Fools” singer is making sure that her family follows her chain of command as she takes control of their careers as their business managers. You see, Aretha has earned millions of bucks through her music, but her family members have yet to add those zeros to their bank accounts. So Aretha’s focus is to see to it that her son, Kecalf Franklin Cunningham, her granddaughter, Victorie (Kecalf’s daughter), and her grandson, Jordan (not pictured), are successfully working in the music industry soon. She’s hustlin’ hard to get ALL of them record deals and it looks like she won’t let up until her mission is accomplished.

Kecalf is a christian rap artist. Check out one of his videos below…

Victorie is a singer who performed a tribute to her Grandmother at the BET Honors ceremony.

Aretha Franklin’s grandson, Jordan, is a music producer, who has produced for new pop artist, Ariana Grande.

Aretha has proven that she’s committed to making sure that her fam’ can stand on their own without having to lean on her name. She recently was on CBS’ The Talk talk show and said she’s still trying to get them a record deal and she also said it a year ago…

Somebody in the industry better give Aretha what she wants and sign her babies to a deal, or else that inner diva we’ve always heard rumors about is going to surface and it ain’t gonna be be nothing nice! Just joking…don’t come after us Aretha (LOL).
