Probably the most talked about attendee was Bill Clinton. People on the internet had gave some backlash for speakers introducing Clinton as the first Black President.

Then there was jokes about how Clinton was eyeballing singer Ariana Grande during her performance.
Gross… Watch Bill Clinton look Ariana Grande up and down when she sings at #ArethaFranklinFuneral and try not to throw up in your mouth. 🤮 pic.twitter.com/aXQvcBmW2Y

In addition to that, people were trippin on how long the former president spoke during his eulogy.
Is Bill Clinton going over his time? He’s definitely going over his time isn’t he. I don’t have the program with me, but yeah…

In all, thought Bill Clinton made a spectacle out of himself and the funeral.
Bill Clinton’s remarks were very much that one white man y’all will let talk who you know is gonna ask who made the ribs at the reception. #ArethaHomegoing
