Was Etta James Whitney Houston's aunt?
You are probably referring to Aretha Franklin, with whom she always had a close relationship, and as a child, she called her as "Auntie Ree." There have been some sources that said Aretha was also Whitney's godmother, but after Whitney died, Aretha went on some talk shows and denied this. It should be noted that Aretha seems to have had some sort of dispute with Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom), so this may explain why she no longer claims to have been Whitney's godmother.

How is aretha franklin related to Whitney Houston?
It has been widely reported for years that Aretha was Whitney's godmother, but after Whitney died, Aretha was interviewed on the Today show and said she had only been a friend of the family and not Whitney's godmother. However, many articles have noted that Whitney felt very close to Aretha, even calling her Aunt Ree. And there have been a few stories since Whitney's death that indicate Aretha and Whitney's mom (Cissy Houston) had some sort of disagreement or dispute, so that may have contributed to Aretha now saying she was never Whitney's godmother.
