Does everyone know that Whitney Houston was the niece of Dionne Warwick?

Years ago, that fact came up from time to time. But I haven’t heard it mentioned at all upon her death. Nor have I heard any public statement from Dionne Warwick. If they had a family falling out, that’s a tragic post script to her death.

There was no falling out. Warwick did make a brief statement.

Also, Aretha Franklin was her godmother.

I swear I read somewhere that she talked to Dionne the day she died...

Yes, it has been mentioned. She was also related to Aretha Franklin. In fact, Dionne Warwick escorted the body back with the family and was with them to make arrangements at the funeral home.
