Smokey Robinson was awesome at Aretha Franklin‘s funeral, singing praise and singing … but he was NOT down with Ariana Grande‘s super short skirt.
We got the singer/songwriter legend at LAX Saturday night as he returned from Detroit, and Smokey didn’t hold back … he thinks Ariana’s skirt — which was the subject of criticism on social media — was just plain inappropriate.
He says he loves Ariana and her music, but thinks she was not protected by her people who greenlit the fashion choice.
