In a recent interview, Amara joked that Whoopi "can be annoying" from time to time.
She said that she has a tight-knit family and a "strong support system," but sometimes being so close can cause tension.
“Me and my grandma are super close. She’s everything,” Amara told the publication.
While talking about what fans see Whoopi as her granddaughter joked: "She’s my grandmother and she’s also really a grandmother. People who are lucky enough to have them know, grandmothers are annoying and it’s another parent."

"You love her, but she’s annoying, and you know, it’s family.”
However, the 32-year-old clarified that Whoopi only wants the best for them and does not hand everything to her.
SHE'S WHAT?
That is not the only thing Amara has revealed about her grandmother.
Being on TV, especially on a show about famous relatives, a lot of things can slip out.
On the premiere, all of the contestants had to reveal two truths and a lie about who they are related to.
When it was Amara's turn to step up to the podium, she told a rather shocking lie about Whoopi- that she was a porn star.
She first announced that her "famous relative is her grandmother", then followed up that fact with another truth stating, "she's best known for being an actor."
The TV personality then relayed her lie, unbeknownst to her fellow contestants, when she stated, "her biggest award is an AVN".
Amara revealed, "For those of you who don't know, it's an adult film award."
In a confessional, Amara explained that "not too many people pay attention to porn star awards and I chose that lie just because I think it'll throw a lot of people off."
While Whoopi has collected numerous awards throughout her illustrious career, it is true the EGOT winner is unable to showcase an AVN above her mantlepiece.
WHOA!
During the August 1 episode, Amara revealed that The View host had a secret billionaire boyfriend, who was in his 90s.
The episode started off with her granddaughter talking to another contestant, L.C., who the show revealed is related to Keke Palmer.
"She had a boyfriend that was like 90 years old and she used to go hang out with him," Amara admitted.
"Some old white man named John or some s**t and he was like a billionaire."
L.C. expressed her shock as Amara continued: "She used to sneak off and get her sex appointments randomly."
"I love that for granny," L.C. laughed.
"Yeah. I didn't know she was still having sex," Amara admitted.
"She out here living her best life," L.C. joked.
Amara then went on to say that her strategy is to talk up the "porn star" angle and deflect from the acting side.
