News about Chaka Khan

The American Music Awards 50th Anniversary brought together the biggest names in music for a night to remember, filled with chart-topping hits and timeless throwbacks. On Sunday, stars like Jennifer Hudson, Brad Paisley, Chaka Khan, Nelly, Raye, Stray Kids and more delivered show-stopping performances that had the audience on their feet. The milestone event opened with Gladys Knight, who dazzled in a black glittering ensemble as she sang her classic hit Midnight Train to Georgia, which won her a Grammy in 1973. The 80-year-old legend set the tone for a night of musical celebration.

Music legends Gladys Knight, Lionel Richie, and Chaka Khan were among the artists wowing fans at the Fool in Love Festival on Saturday.

Sean ' Diddy ' Combs videos don't usually come without sound but none was needed on the CCTV footage that showed him with a towel wrapped around his waist running down a hotel corridor and mounting a brutal attack on a young woman desperately trying to get away from him. The harrowing footage publicly emerged little more than a week before it was revealed today that federal investigators are preparing to bring Combs' accusers before a grand jury. The video which emerged only a week ago after being obtained by CNN corroborates some of the allegations made against Combs in a shocking lawsuit that Ventura filed last November. She claimed that during more than 10 years of physical abuse, sexual slavery and rape, she'd been subjected to 'savage' beatings from a highly jealous man 'prone to uncontrollable rage'. Observers have long been surprised that, unlike Hollywood, the music business has been spared a major MeToo moment that would act as a belated reckoning for an industry that has long tolerated sexual predators. That oversight appears to have been finally addressed in recent days as the gilded but sordid world of a rap superstar has come crashing down around his diamond-bejewelled ears.

In her comment Indira claims that Diddy 'got in her mother's face', 'screamed' at and 'disrespected' the I'm Every Woman hitmaker years ago.

Chaka Khan has joined Kanye West in a rivalry. The Queen Of Funk, the 70-year-old queen of Funk, had previously disapproved of the rapper's sped up her vocals while sampling her 1984 hit 'Through The Fire,' which she described as'stupid.' But the music legend has come around, and she told Rolling Stone that her remarks at the time were "salty" and that she is not holding onto any "silly grudges."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation unveiled its 2023 inductees on May 3rd, with Elliott on the list as the first female hip-hop artist to receive the honor.

Courtney Love is hoping that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will begin to recognize women and people of color. On March 17, the "Doll Parts" singer wrote a scathing op-ed for The Guardian. In her essay, she found that women account for only eight percent of the inductees, although the figures for people of color are similar. POPSUGAR reached out to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a comment on Love's words, but no one responded immediately. "If the Rock Hall is not keen to investigate how it is replicating the violence of structural misogyny and misogym that artists face in the music industry, then let it go to hell in a handbag," Love wrote.

The Tell Me Something Good singer is backtracked and issuing an apology just days after putting down Rolling Stone's Top Singers Of All Time list, where she shared her honest opinion on those who were ranked higher than herself. Although the legendary singer was ranked at #29 out of 200 artists, she continued to slam the 'blind bat b***es' who ranked her on Los Angeles Magazine's podcast, including Adele, Mary J. Blige, and Debbie Harry.' The so-called Queen Of Funk also referred to how she was tricked into answering questions about who deserved to be on the list in her apology. 'I was recently asked about a list of the "greatest singers of all time" and instead of questioning the need for such a list, I was pitted against other musicians and I took the bait,' the Chicago native posted on Instagram. We are wrongly placed into "boxes," "categories," or "lists" as artists. It's not a competition to be an artist or a musician. It's a gift for which I am truly grateful.'

Chaka Khan has slammed the "blind bat b***es" who ranked her at No. 1 in the world. On the Rolling Stone list of the top 200 best singers of all time, 29 are listed No. 29. The list, which was released on New Year's Day, included Beyoncé, Adele, and Mariah Carey, as well as Chaka. The Originals, Chaka, 69, was the host of the Los Angeles Magazine's podcast, and she had never to have even heard of the list before the host revealed it. Chaka groused, 'I quit,' and when she learned Mariah was at No. 1 she was told Adele was ahead of her. 'That must be payola or some s*** like that,' she said.' Chaka erupted when hearing that Mary J. Blige was ranked ahead of her: These b****es are blind as a motherf***ing bat!' They need hearing aids. They don't have hearing aids? They have no eyes. They have no ears. They must have a - these b****es, you know what?These must be be the children of Helen Keller!'

It's been a long lookout for the elusive "bop" to find. Playlists and streaming-service recommendations can only do so much. They often leave a lingering question: Are these songs really good, or are they just new? The MTV News team has assembled a hand-picked collection of songs from the Bop Shop. This weekly collection does not discriminate by gender and can include almost anything; it's a glimpse at what's on our minds and what sounds good. With the new music, we'll keep it fresh, but we'll still get a few oldies (but goodies) every once in a while. Prepare: The Bop Shop is now open for business.

DRIAN THRILLS: Sophie Ellis-Bextor's live-streamed kitchen discos brought some much-needed cheer to the 2020 lockdown. As the couple's five young children wandered in and out of the scene, she was aided by her musician husband Richard Jones, who filmed the tumultuous Friday night house parties on his phone. She has since converted the brand into a brand and brought the same vivacious spirit to the stage as she traded the warmth of her London home for the excitement of the live arena on this year's Kitchen Disco tour. Her first live album, which is out on double CD and digitally, rekindles the feel-good spirit.
