‘Ain’t Nobody’ singer Chaka Khan says there ain’t nobody she could think of interesting enough to do a duet with among this generation of singers.
Taking to VLADTV recently, the Queen of Funk royally slammed today’s hitmakers after being quizzed by comedienne/resident interviewer Luenell about who she would like to collaborate with from the new school.
Despite just rendering a duet with GRAMMY-winning Pop star Ariana Grande last year for the latter’s ‘Charlie Angels‘ reboot soundtrack, Khan replied ‘f*ck her’ when Luenell brought the ‘7 Rings’ singer’s name into the conversation.
That’s not all she said. More inside:
Start at the 00:01 mark:
As seen in the interview above, Chaka was adamant she did not want to work with another woman stating:
‘I’m not doing no song with no heifer.’
However, after further quizzing she did reveal Rahsaan Patterson and Anderson.Paak are some male artists she’d like to work with. Elsewhere in the lengthy chat, the ‘Sweet Thing’ singer didn’t sugarcoat her thoughts on the potential of doing a Vegas residency but expressed any sponsors would have to “dig deep in their pockets” to secure her talents.
The video above surfaced shortly after she disclosed how disappointed she was with Kanye West for “f*cking up her song” with his hit remix to her classic tune, ‘Through the Fire.’

chaka did not mention Ariana Grande’s name at all what she said was f*** her that girl’s name did not exit her mouth at all..
headline is lowkey clickbait tgj. do better
but it’s EVIDENT who she was talking about. when ariana’s name was mentioned her whole facial expression changed. she was specifically referring to Ari
Coke w****
SCREAMING 🤣
Chaka can say the f*** she want. She is CHAKA F’ING KHAN, LOL
Exactly! ✅ 🤣 That’s why I’m hesitating to watch the rest of the interview 😂 Chaka going AWF 😂 👀
This is extremely tacky and classless
Queen Elizabeth or Michelle Obama would never
Don’t give a F** what she’s accomplished in music.
And the interviewer was just as tacky, classless and inarticulate. A stupid question to even ask if she would collab with Ariana
I agree. Who the f*** does Chaka Khan think she is? I’ve been such a huge fan of her going back to Rufus. There are a lot of talented young singers with amazing voices that probably wouldn’t want to collaborate with Chaka Khan. I’m disappointed that she would even stoop to that level of such disrespect for her fellow artists.😣
Where’s the lie tho?
Smurfiana is boring AF. Wish she would catch Rona and just disappear forever.
wtf is wrong w u j bc u don’t like an artist doesn’t mean u wish something like that on them f*** off ur classless
Ya know, I’m tired of Ariana being the bench mark for singers and actually not being that great. You have plenty of singers that sing better than her who don’t get the mention because she has had some fame, sings pop/r&b and can hold a note or two.
There are other singers who would’ve deserved to be mentioned with Chaka’s name more than Ariana.
I would’ve said f*her too.
You can’t be the bench mark when you’re just Mariah’s understudy.
SHES A MARIAH WANNA-BE without the number 1’s or SONG OF THE DECADE. she’s cute that’s it
Who are the plenty singers who sing better than Ari today? I would love to hear this.
Tori Kelly, Adele and JoJo
Ari Lennox, Jasmine Sullivan, Chloe x Halle, Cynthia Erivo, Georgia Smith, Kiana Lede… The list goes on. You gotta broaden your horizons. 🤷🏾♂️
You’re acting as if Jasmine Sullivan, Fantasia, KeKe Wyatt are no longer on this earth.
Also, Jessie J sings rings around Ariana as well as the names mentioned below.
she just said “she’s good on her own” right after eugh you could do your clickbait without making a legend like Chaka Khan sound bitter or shady. posts like this one is why Chaka is saying she’s not up to working with other women
She doesn’t like any current successful female artist because she’s bitter as f*ck. What is she doing now anyway ?
When somebody talked to her about Beyoncé, she was like « that b**** » and not in a friendly way.
I don’t care what she’s accomplished, some people younger than her have already done more than she ever will. And that’s no shade, just facts.
You don’t have to like everyone out there, but you can be elegant and not come off as a hater.
She appears to be “ high as a kite”. I hope she simply had a glass of wine or some kind of drink.

Shut the f*** up. Chaka is legend
Was she high again?!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
