Legendary singer Patti Labelle says don’t call her a diva anymore because the word is used so loosely.  She told PrideSource,

“That word is used so loosely that I don’t even consider myself a diva. I always considered myself a woman who sings her heart out and who gives 120 percent. “Diva” is a word that I wouldn’t Anna call myself because it’s so loosely used. It’s not cute anymore.” When asked if there is a negative connotation to the word now, she said, “Yeah, because all these little heifers who can’t sing are called divas! It doesn’t mean anything to me and probably to some of the other ladies who have been doing it for as long as I have.”

I would have to agree with Patti.
