The pie wasn't selling. Dude makes a video. Almost 1 million in sales later. Yet, TMZ says this

"Patti LaBelle loves the YouTube guy who sang the praises of her sweet potato pies, but she says the frenzy over the delicious dessert is all her doing.

The famous diva whose pies have flown off the shelves at just about every Walmart in the US of A was not sharing credit as she showed up to the London hotel in a very rainy NYC. Patti loves James Wright, but she says the success is all hers.

BTW ... it's insane what's happening with the pies ... some are going for $100 on Craigslist. We called 30 Walmart stores and they said December is the earliest they'll be restocked. "

She is a well-known cook. I’ll have to see if there are any at my local Walmart.

I always thought of sweet tater pie as a poor man’s pumpkin pie.

If there is one thing is for certian...James Wright’s EBT card never passed up a pie in his life.

I used to like her music. She did an album back in the 80s called Winner in You that was pretty good if I recall.

But after her bodyguard and chauffeur beat up that West Point cadet for standing next to her luggage and then tried to use the “he said a racial slur” crap as justification...no thanks.

Patty Da Bell had her body guards beat up a West Point Cadet for no reason at all... Oh, no, there was reason. He stood too close to her baggage at an airport. As I recall, the Cadet was booted from school.. Enjoy the pies!

I would have thought she’d have her own line of marmalade first.

I like baked sweet potatoes with the skins on but sweet potato pie does nothing for me. I had it once and that will be it. Give me any kind of pie with fruit in it like apple or blueberry.

No thanks. Patti LaBelle is a walking advertisement for what NOT to eat.

About 2 weeks ago I could have bought one that was reduced to $1.74 but I decided not to get it. Thought it was funny that it was made in Canada.

I prefer Sweet Potato pie over pumpkin. Think that is what I’ll make for Christmas.
